Unseasoning a sheet pan??

[Cooking4Fun]

Ultimately used steelwool. Looks ok still.

I remember they taught us in home ec that cookie sheets didn't have edges because, they bake better that way. I have personally never found a difference, but there might be some cookies that are picky about the type of breezes that go across them while they are baking. I believe the teacher said it was especially important with very light cookies. I think she meant light weight, not light coloured.

i've cooked stuff on the backside of a rimmed sheet before.

I often bake cookies on the backside due to actually having to cut the dough shapes out and not misshapen them by trying to transfer.
Lately I've been rolling onto parchment as I can secure it to stop moving about as the cookie sheet sometimes does. Then I just slide the paper onto the back of the sheet.

Try making a paste with baking soda and water. Apply the paste to the stains, leave it for 10-15 minutes, and then wipe it off with a sponge. It should help!

You might avoid this challenge in the future by placing a sheet of Reynolds non-stick foil on your cooking surface. I use it often and it's saved many an ugly fugly mess.

Good idea. You could also use parchment paper, or plain foil with the same results.

I always put foil on my sheet pans.
