Hi Andrea, Oh, I know what you're talking about! That broiler pan can be a greasy, yucky, stuck-on mess. But you can make cleanup a breeze by lining the broiler pan with foil before broiling, or spraying generously with nonstick cooking spray. If you forgot that step, though, and you’re facing a burnt-on mess, here's what you should do: Allow the pan to come to room temperature, then pour or scrape any accumulated grease into a disposable container, seal it and throw it away. Sprinkle the pan liberally with baking soda and top it with a wet paper towel. Let soak for half an hour, then clean as usual; the burnt-on stuff will come off easily. This works great with BBQ grills, too!
