How to Clean Oil Off a Stainless Steel Pan
March 3, 2010 · 17 Comments
We recently made pancakes using our Stainless Steel Pans. Before pouring the pancake mix on the pan, we sprayed it with oil. The oil, unfortunately, left behind a sticky and yucky residue.

Bought my ticket the first day it went on sale (thank you Johnsonville Sausage)! I had plans to go and was looking forward to it all year long. However, some major life changes happened and BlogHer ‘10 in New York was no longer in the cards. I won’t say I wasn’t bummed, because I was. However, I had something to look forward to in 2011. I was really hoping BlogHer ‘11 would be in San Diego. Some were saying it might be in Dallas, Nashville,... [Read the full story]
