# 3 Methods to Clean Porcelain Bakeware - Made In Porcelain Bakeware is easy to cook with and even easier to keep clean. All you need is a few simple pantry ingredients or a bottle of our Ceramic Cleaner. Porcelain is, by far, our favorite type of bakeware. Both [thermal shock resistant](/blogs/thermal-shock) and oven safe up to 650F, this dainty-sounding material is much tougher than it looks. That said, porcelain still needs to be treated gently—particularly when it comes to washing. Thankfully, you won’t need much elbow grease to clean these naturally non stick, dishwasher-safe pieces. Here are some of our favorite methods to get (and keep) your bakeware sparkling clean. ```json { "_key": "f0f67bc1fc66", "_type": "tableOfContents" } ``` ## Soap and Water ```json { "_key": "58a1e75c28a8", "_type": "medium", "alignment": null, "captionStyle": null, "ctas": null, "description": null, "image": { "asset": { "altText": "Made In Eggplant Parmesan baked with tomato sauce and melted cheese in a white casserole dish.", "metadata": { "dimensions": { "_type": "sanity.imageDimensions", "aspectRatio": 1.9565217391304348, "height": 920, "width": 1800 }, "lqip": "data:image/jpeg;base64,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" }, "url": "https://cdn.sanity.io/images/fr9flhkd/main/fe1d02973deb6ee73b166a5c9422537dc7bd0d86-1800x920.jpg" } }, "size": null, "tags": null, "type": "image", "video": null } ``` A quick scrub with warm water and a drop of dish soap should work for nearly all types of mess commonly found in bakeware. If there's a burnt-on mess that just won’t budge, try soaking your pan with warm water and soap. After about ten minutes, any remaining grime should have loosened enough to scrape off with a wooden spatula, spoon, or sponge (anything will work here, just not an abrasive or sharp-edged utensil like a knife). Dump the water, then rinse and dry. ## Baking Soda ```json { "_key": "6580f3151577", "_type": "medium", "alignment": null, "captionStyle": null, "ctas": null, "description": null, "image": { "asset": { "altText": "A hand slides a white Made In porcelain baking dish into an oven.", "metadata": { "dimensions": { "_type": "sanity.imageDimensions", "aspectRatio": 1.8, "height": 1000, "width": 1800 }, "lqip": "data:image/jpeg;base64,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" }, "url": "https://cdn.sanity.io/images/fr9flhkd/main/9270c0843b37aedea0e9ea71365e15dff88c089d-1800x1000.jpg" } }, "size": null, "tags": null, "type": "image", "video": null } ``` Baking soda is slightly abrasive, making it an effective tool for cleaning burnt or stained porcelain bakeware. Sprinkle a little baking soda onto the surface of the pan, add a few drops of dish soap, then fill the pan with warm water. Allow to soak for 15–20 minutes before gently scraping the stained or dirty areas with a non-abrasive spatula or spoon, or with the soft side of a dish sponge. Rinse and dry. ## Baking Soda and Vinegar ```json { "_key": "6500707ab00e", "_type": "medium", "alignment": null, "captionStyle": null, "ctas": null, "description": null, "image": { "asset": { "altText": "A knife cuts chocolate pie in Made In’s Porcelain Baking Dish as a hand steadies the rim.", "metadata": { "dimensions": { "_type": "sanity.imageDimensions", "aspectRatio": 1.8, "height": 1000, "width": 1800 }, "lqip": "data:image/jpeg;base64,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" }, "url": "https://cdn.sanity.io/images/fr9flhkd/main/0ae971859e54eb2d8e5d9a552a00aad0d2535635-1800x1000.jpg" } }, "size": null, "tags": null, "type": "image", "video": null } ``` If you’re _still_ struggling to clean your pan, try combining baking soda with vinegar. The mixture will create carbon dioxide bubbles, which can help further dislodge really stubborn burnt-on food and oil. First, sprinkle baking soda onto the affected areas of your pan, then pour on a small amount of distilled white vinegar. While the mixture is still foamy, scrub the pan thoroughly, then rinse and dry. ## Ready to Clean? ```json { "_key": "aa3560316a38", "_type": "variant", "data": { "_id": "variant-39879398195279", "badges": [], "collegiateAsset": null, "computed": { "compare_at_price": 257, "discount": 23, "isAvailable": true, "isPrimary": true, "offset": 58, "price": 199, "status": "forSale" }, "handle": { "current": "3-piece-undecorated" }, "imageBadges": null, "media": [], "meta": { "hasCollegiate": false, "hasTrial": true, "hasWaitList": false, "isCollegiate": false, "isDiscountEligible": false, "isFinalSale": false, "isHidden": false, "isOnSale": true, "isSet": true, "marketOverrides": { "eu": { "expectedShipDate": null, "hasWaitList": null, "isComingSoon": null, "isHidden": true, "isOutOfStock": null } }, "promoDates": null, "promoPrice": null, "warranty": "lifetime" }, "product": { "ranking": 66, "rating": { "rating": 4.95, "rating_count": 765 }, "shopify": { "handle": "bakeware-set", "id": 6535789805647, "image": { "alt": null, "height": 1500, "src": "https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2131/5111/files/Web_Bakeware_Set_3p_Undecorated_1x1_Hero.jpg?v=1762198320", "width": 1500 }, "title": "Bakeware Set" } }, "shopify": { "handle": null, "id": 39879398195279, "image": { "alt": null, "height": 1500, "src": "https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2131/5111/files/Web_Bakeware_Set_3p_Undecorated_1x1_Hero.jpg?v=1762198320", "width": 1500 }, "option1": "White", "option2": null, "option3": null, "title": "White" }, "taxonomies": [ { "handle": { "current": "bakeware" }, "title": "Bakeware", "type": "product_category" }, { "handle": { "current": "sets" }, "title": "Sets", "type": "product_category" }, { "handle": { "current": "white" }, "title": "White ", "type": "color" }, { "handle": { "current": "porcelain" }, "title": "Porcelain", "type": "material" }, { "handle": { "current": "france" }, "title": "France", "type": "country_of_origin" } ], "title": "White / 3-Piece" } } ``` Don’t let the prospect of cleaning up stop you from using your porcelain bakeware.
