Any Home Bakers Here?

I'm gonna join this! I mostly bake bread, but this sounds like fun!

Ooh! I have a question!
Making muffins a couple weeks ago, I baked the first batch right in the pan, then used muffin cups for the second batch. There was a little batter under some papers, and it baked on. I have soaked the pan, and used several cleaners, but can’t get the pan clean. What now?

Have you tried spraying the cups with oven cleaner and putting them back in the hot oven?

Dampen the area and put baking soda on it. Let sit for 10-15 minutes and it should come off.

Nope. I knew I had a use for you.

In a video from Preppy Kitchen on YouTube, the guy said, “Also, if you fail, just eat the buttercream, and no-one will know. It will be our secret.”

That didn’t work. Salt, Dawn, baking soda, boiling water in the oven… I used some Scrub Daddy paste, and scrubber too.

There is a barkeepers friend liquid that might work.

Post a picture of the stubborn spot. I know that long term soaking usually allows most things to release.
If your baking container is not NON-Stick coated, I can offer drastic solutions that will work.
I most often to always,, use cupcake papers, and parchment paper in my baking. Makes pan cleanup sooooo easy.
I do not use parchment when baking Pizza, or Focaccia.
