Kitchen Cleaning Tip

Are your baking sheets looking a bit grungy? You can restore them with baking soda and hydrogen peroxide.

Sprinkle the sheet with baking soda. Then, lightly spray it with hydrogen peroxide. Next, sprinkle a little more baking soda on top.

Let it sit for an hour or two. Finally, wash the sheet off and see the difference!
