The Biggest Lesson I Learned
For years, I thought dirty baking sheets were just part of cooking.
I thought stains meant “used,” and “used” meant permanent.
I was wrong.
Most of the mess wasn’t damage—it was buildup.
And buildup can be removed.
Not with force. Not with expensive products.
Just with patience and simple things you already own.
Now I Do This Regularly
Every few weeks, I give my baking sheets a quick treatment before they get bad again.
Sometimes baking soda.
Sometimes vinegar and dish soap.
It takes almost no effort, and my kitchen feels cleaner because of it.
It’s one of those small changes that quietly makes life better.
And every time I pull a clean baking sheet from the cabinet, I’m glad I didn’t throw them away.
