How to Clean Baked-on Grease Stains on Teflon Cake Pans

Teflon-coated cake pans rarely need to be greased before you pour in the batter. But an occasional greasing or oily residue from the cake can build up inside your pans. If the grease stains aren't removed entirely before you use the cake pans again, they become baked-on. The resulting carbonized grease stains become more difficult to remove, but your cake pans aren't a lost cause. You can use supplies found readily in the kitchen to remove the baked-on grease stains from your cake pans without damaging the nonstick Teflon coating.
