How to Get Burned Sugar Off a Broiler Pan

Cleaning pots and pans is a common chore many people do not enjoy, especially if burned-on stains are involved. Burned sugar is an especially annoying stain, since hot sugar crystallizes and hardens. Removing sugar stains from a broiler pan is a process that involves cleaning the top rack of the broiler pan as well as the bottom reservoir pan. Accomplish this task using inexpensive, nontoxic household products.

White vinegar
Baking soda
Scrub pad

  Fill the reservoir pan with equal parts white vinegar and hot vinegar, completely covering any burnt sugar. Add 2 tablespoons of baking soda to the pan and stir to dissolve.
