I have a relatively new Teflon coated baking pan. Hard as I try, I can't completely clean off the slight residue left by the cooked food. I'm afraid to use any abrasive cleanser that would scratch the coating. How should I get the residue off?

Thank you.
Nancy from Pennsylvania

None of the suggested remedies are working! Tried the dishwasher soap, baking soda, vinegar - nada! Anyone want an almost new, ruined electric fry pan?

So, if I cleaned a teflon pan with an SOS pad...was that a bad idea? Seriously.

Editor's Note: Teflon should only be cleaned with a sponge. An SOS pad will take off the Teflon thus the non stick coating.

I have a commercial breville machine for cooking pies. How do I clean the teflon. I cannot soak the electric machine

Me and my husband are having a debate . Do you clean the pan while it is still hot or after it had cooled off?

If you are using a cooking spray (such as PAM) it will leave a sticky residue that is almost impossible to get off. Instead use oil brushed on with a pastry brush. When I first heard this I thought it was dumb, but since I quit using the sprays I have not had to replace any Teflon Pans. (Also Teflon should never be used over anything higher than Medium heat. I don't buy the sprays at all any more. Amazing how much easier it is to wash, not just Teflon, but casserole dishes, pans, etc. Good luck

Use electric dish washing powder and soak overvingt in the solution. Will clean up easy next day.

I would try straight white vinegar too. It seems too work well on grease and residue in general.

For Nancy in Pennsylvania trying to clean her Teflon. Use baking soda on a damp cloth and rub on the stains. This will take them off and not hurt the Teflon.

You can buy teflon-safe scrubby sponges, but I use a scrubby that my sister crocheted out of that netting you buy by the yard in the fabric store. It doesn't scratch the teflon, and it works as good as an S.O.S. pad! If you don't have anyone that crochetes, you can get some of the netting and fold in half at least once and wrap it around a scrub brush and rubber band it on the top. You can also buy those plastic S.O.S. looking pads and those work ok.
