A few years back I got myself a roasting pan and I must say that I use it a few times a week. It’s so convenient and easy to use – and you can make some delicious meals with it, however, there is one downfall… cleaning it.

It’s true that roasting pans accumulate build-up, burnt food, greasy stains, and all sorts of other impurities which are hard to remove. And even though you feel tempted to wash it in the dishwasher – don’t! You will damage your roasting pan. So if you don’t really know how to properly clean your roasting pan then I am here to teach you!

Clean It After Every Use!

The best thing you can do to avoid build-up is to clean your roasting pan after each use. Simply allow it to cool down and gently scrub with warm water and a sponge. You can also use some liquid soap which will help get rid of any greasy stains.

What If Your Pan Is Burnt?
