How to Clean Your All-Clad Roasting Pan: Step-by-Step Guide
Let's break down how to clean your All-Clad roasting pan into manageable steps:
Step 1: Soak in Warm, Soapy Water
After removing any food residues, soak your roasting pan in warm, soapy water for at least 15 minutes. This will help loosen up any caked-on food and make the following steps easier.
Step 2: Create a Baking Soda Paste
Mix equal parts of baking soda and water to create a paste. This paste is excellent for tackling tough stains and burnt-on food particles.
Step 3: Scrub Gently with a Sponge
Use a soft sponge and apply the baking soda paste onto the stained areas. Scrub gently but firmly, ensuring you cover all the tough spots.
Step 4: Rinse Thoroughly
Rinse the pan thoroughly with warm water, making sure no baking soda residue is left behind.
Step 5: Apply Vinegar for Extra Shine
If there are still stubborn spots, spray them with white vinegar. Vinegar acts as a natural cleaner and can help remove remaining stains. Give it a few minutes to sit before wiping clean with a cloth.
