Thread: aluminum cookie sheets

  1. #1

    aluminum cookie sheets

    scrubbed my grandmothers aluminum cookie sheets with heavy duty scrubby pads , now they are oxidizing. Is there a secret home fix for this or do I just have to deal with it ?

    K. Slink set me straight on this one. Put them in a garbage bag with paper towels soaked in ammonia seal tight as the fumes are strong. Next day everything turned to slime and washed off. I have to do mine again probably a couple more times to get them shiny.Now I use parchment paper each and every time.
    DO NOT put them in a self cleaning oven, they will melt.

    Sounds like a great challenge. Keep us posted on what works the best. Interested in all natural VS the chemical world. I first tried the environment stuff about 20 yrs ago and it was like working with water. Newer stuff does a better job.

    About time that the industry caught up with the rest of us, huh? That only took 20 or 30 years!

    Maybe you could interest him in the thought that some of it could be worth something to someone who is a nostalgia freak. Could be!
