Thanks for this tip...I will give it a try!

I will too. I love a simple non toxic cleaner

Baking soda and peroxide with a squirt of doggie shampoo is what we have always used when the dog encountered a skunk!

Plain old ammonia can work wonders with any grease. I use it on bacon grease in the oven, cuts right through no scrubbing necessary.

Oh, I have to clean the oven, so I'm going to try this!

Thanks for the tip!

I have a skillet that I use to cook eggs in. It has developed a discolored area around the top edge. I have tried everything. I will definitely try this. I have been told before that it works but never tried.

I was very skeptical! Raven, that will take it right off! I did allow it to sit for a few hours. I'm not sure how long it actually took to work.

Normally, if I clean my burner bibs, I put them in a plastic bag with some ammonia poured into the bottom of it, seal it up and let it sit for about 24 hours and the grease is then soft enough to scrub off. It still required some scrubbing though. This is an option, but it sure does stink...HA!

I bet all those brown cooking sheets will come out sparkling clean after using the BS/peroxide!

I bet this would work nicely on grout too!

I need to try this on the SS skillet with the baked-on grease. I've used Bar Keeper's Friend but it still requires elbow grease and my arthritic hands just don't want to do this sort of thing anymore.

Thanks for the tip, definitely will give it a go.

I will have to try that. We are trying to use fewer toxicants for our cleaning needs. Better for our health, the environment and our wallets. We're already using vinegar for quite a few things and I like the idea of a handful of go to cleaners rather than all these different products for each cleaning need.

Be careful putting the baking soda on the glass of your oven window. I did that with my Miiele double ovens. The baking soda was wet and some of it ran down the glass. I didn't think too ,much about it and wiped it all up...I thought. But it had run in between the glass. It was really unsightly and not possible to get it out. When I put the house on the market I paid for a service call to have the oven door taken off and the glass taken out and cleaned. I know some folks remove their oven door but I had no intention of risking that heavy thing dropping and trying to get the glass out on my own. So be careful.

Great tip - thanks for sharing!

I've been using the combination of baking soda, peroxide and the enzyme version of Dawn for years as a laundry stain treatment. I haven't tried the often suggested baking soda and borax combo as a scouring powder but if the youtube video I saw was accurate (and I have a certain trust for the person who did it), she used it to scour a pan with baked-on grease and it worked well and worked fast. Very little elbow grease.

OH cynic, I'm so glad your bumped this up! How timely! What is enzyme Dawn?

I just used it again for the cooked on stains that get on those stainless stove top burner bowls/bibs. Well, it didn't work as well for that...shoot! I was very disappointed. I think the reason is that the stain is made not of grease but from boiled over water like from boiling potatoes and not grease splatter as the thermometer had on it. A tougher stain, apparently. So, I'm going to experiment with the oven door next. I think it will be great for that because it is going to be the same stain as the oven thermometer had. The H2O2/baking soda DID work though on that burner bowl, but it required scrubbing. All the stains came off but not like magic..HA!

I was watching a youtube video and someone tried different things for the inside of a pot that had burned on food inside of the pot and what worked the best was plain old H2O2 in the pan and heated for something like 15 minutes. The burned on stuff just fell off. I'm going to do that with the burner bowls, I'm going to put them in a pot with hot H2O2 and try that. So, if you need to save a pot that you forgot on the stove with stuff cooking and it burned onto the inside of it, just put some h. peroxide on it and put it on a burner and allow to simmer for about 15 minutes. I think you will find that the stuff will fall off and come clean with a small amount of elbow grease.

Peroxide and B Soda is also a tooth whitener. Long time. Dab tooth paste, 1 tsp. b soda, 1 tsp. peroxide, 1/2 tsp. water---mix well, brush teeth 2 mins, 3 times a week to start, as needed after that. Works. Electric t-brush makes it easier. Try It!

I've been using it as part of my oral hygiene routine since I was a teenager.

Arkansas Girl, I burned some jam in the bottom of an enamel Le Creuset pot and I was sure I would have to toss it - very expensive pot. And I mean BLACK BURNT. But I looked around online and decided to try this. I put some water in the pot and added a few drops of dish soap and some white vinegar. I brought it to a boil and scraped the bottom with a non-metal spoon. After awhile it started to lift off and I just kept scraping and simmering. I changed the water out a couple of times and finally I got every last bit of it off. I was so relieved.

rita, the girl I was watching on youtube did three things to see what worked best. One was vinegar, one for the H2O2 and the other was water and baking soda together. They all worked some but the peroxide was amazing and the burned on stuff just fell off after about 15 minutes.

I have all my burner tins soaking now. Will report back in the morning.

I’m kind of curious about the chemistry of all of this. Hydrogen peroxide is basically a water molecule (H2O) with a extra oxygen atom (H2O2) and it’s fairly unstable. When it breaks down you get water and oxygen. Assuming the addition of baking soda causes the hydrogen peroxide to breakdown, I would think that the oxygen would simply go into the atmosphere and you’d end up with baking soda and water.

But it’s been a long time since I had a chemistry class...

MEH. I scrubbed with steel wool after soaking. I still have black scorch marks....maybe it's not the same thing but feel the black is baked on grease.

arcy, if that didn't work then what else always works is put some ammonia in a plastic bag, just a couple cups is enough, then put in your burner pans and close the bag up. Allow it to stay for a good 24 hours for best results. All the stuff will be able to be scrubbed off fairly easily. I've never had the ammonia trick not work. And, my burner pans can get pretty terrible after a while. I kind of just forget about them until I cannot stand it anymore, then I will do the ammonia trick. I just don't care for them stink of ammonia, but it sure works. OH and, I usually do this in the basement, the garage is a good place too, put a pan under it so in case it leaks out. It is the fumes that eat the burned on stuff of the pans...usually what I do is take some old container of some sort and pour the ammonia into it, place that into the plastic bag and then my burner pans or whatever pan you need to be cleaned, then seal it up and wait. The next day, the stuff will be loose enough to scrub off.
