I'm very grateful for your video. I have had to thrown out pyrex dishes due to I couldn't get all of the grease stains off due to my arthritis it hard to scrub vigorously without pain and I can't stand grease-stained baking dishes. This wasn't too hard at all. Thank you!! 😁
I would recommend just using baking soda and water. What you did looks good, but when you combine baking soda and vinegar, it neutralizes the properties of vinegar as a mild acid, and baking soda as a base. We cook with cast iron and glass. Cast iron has the tendency to deal with all the abuse a skillet takes for browning and cooking your meat. Glass is good for sauces, especially italian based food sauces. If I make Pizza, spaghetti, or bolognese, I normally marinate the sauce for a week. I brown and cook the meatballs or meat in cast iron and combine the sauce in a container (without cooking the sauce). I freeze it for a week to marinate after combining the sauce. Then I use my glass pans in the oven to both boil spaghetti noodles or other pasta and bring the sauce to 375. I avoid burning the glass pan that way and have a hearty sauce. It simplifies the methods of cooking. We cook everything as we have children. But in reality, the way you cooked and cleaned your glass was awesome. Pyrex and the Visions Pyroceram are awesome cookware. They seem to last forever. Cast iron can last forever too. But with cast iron, I recommend you never get into the habit of soaking, using acids or bases. You clean cast iron when its hot handling with oven gloves. Simply scrub with a bristle brush over hot water in a stainless steel sink (no soap, baking soda, or vinegar). Dry off as much water with the soft sponge and return to the burner to evaporate excess water. Then place a coat of cooking oil on it and wipe the excess every time cast iron is used.
Such a thorough explanation, very interesting! I don't have a lot of children but I'm trying to become more efficient with household duties since a young child can take up so much time. Could you share some more of your favorite tips?
@@hxdcm I agree 👍 soaking it in baking soda then some soapy water does the trick to soften the food so it can be scraped. It's better for my sink to wipe insoluble chunks of food with a tissue rather than risk it going down the drain. I find it annoying when the drain filter clogs. Spraying vinegar to pre-clean my counter tops, ceramic pots and pans to cut through excess oil that hot water can't remove throughly. It saves me so much time cleaning.
I just tried this technique - twice - on my grease-stained Pyrex glass pan. The grease is still stuck on, even with vigorous scrubbing with a lemon, and soaking in hot soapy water. Any other suggestions?
I doesn't work. I tried it several times very carefully following your instructions and it just doesn't soften the grease. Can you tell me perhaps what am I doing wrong? Thanks
I’m thinking your baked on food is really caked on and will need some real “elbow grease”. There are some other methods you can find on YT to make the scrubbing easier (longer soak, ammonia, etc).
Well this is certainly a better alternative than using draino like my grandma does I'm not even kidding. I mean both message work but I'd rather not be pouring draino to something I'm going to use to cook with
Did you follow the steps, I just cleaned my glass pan yesterday after dinner and this method works really good for me each time. I’m wondering why it didn’t work for you? I hope you try it again and follow the steps. Good luck
