There is a product called aluminum foil which obviates the need for all
that elbow grease, etc. Don't generally like to advocate waste, but
here it's the foil(which is recyclable in some jurisdictions) vs. the
hot water and detergent. BTW when I have a large pan, but only regular
foil at hand, I combine two pieces with a tightly double- folded seam
like a metal roof seam, running something hard along it to seal.
Hardly ever leaks.

I've heard of that stuff. The issue of dark or shiny for cooking
delicate stuff is the outside of the pan. Some recipes burn on the
bottom before the rest is done if the sheet is too dark. For roasting,
dark pan cooks faster and that might not agree with some recipes. It's
a lot harder to remove burnt on grease than it is to properly clean pans
after each use.

:3M pad, full strength Dawn, elbow grease. Be a fanatic about cookie

For cookies I use a teflon coated pan. I don't bake cookies on my
aluminum cookie sheet anymore. I use it for other oven tasks, not
cookies. Stainless, it seems to me, would have problems of its own.
Teflon cleans so readily, it's really just the thing for cookies. Cleans
in a snap. Must use plastic utensils and scrubbers, however!

My advice would be to either leave all the black scorched residue or throw
them away and purchase stainless or enamel based utensils.
Leaving them black would keep the surface sealed. cleaning would open the
surface and allow minute particles enter the food you cook.
It has been suggested else where that aluminium has accumulative effect on
the body/ brain and could be the result of altzimers and associated
problems. Why take the risk to save a few pennies

I have an aluminum cookie sheet that has had black stuff baked onto it
for upwards of 30 years. I gave up trying to keep it clean. I don't
normally cook anything on it that adds to the residue, so a lot of the
black stuff has come off. It's half shiny metalic, half black residue.
Big deal.

If you are in the mood to wear a bright shade of purple, then you should consider dark accessories or a black coat to go along. A black skirt / trouser with a light purple top will make you look like royalty. Dark purple, on the other hand, should be t April 21, 2008, 9:57 pm
