I'm using the new range of Wiltshire white enamel roasting pans at the moment and they are great! They come up like new in the dishwasher and I have done lots of sticky sauces and marinades in them so far and anything that gets burnt on comes off really easily with cleaning. The only thing is I ban metal utensils around them so they don't get scratched!

I have 2 stainless steel baking dishes.  I use them all the time.  I don't know what brand they are,  but they are the ones that have survived over the years.  Soaked over night,  they are easily cleaned.  I also use oven bags as I hate cleaning the oven...

My DH bought me a scanpan roasting tray for my birthday a couple of years back but I don't use it very often because it's a pain in the you know what to clean

How do you guys keep them clean and looking like new ?

Hi Chrissa
Is your scan pan non stick or stainless steel?
I have the non stick pan and don't have trouble in cleaning it.
You can use scourers on both pans.  I even use gumption on some of my scan pan frypans.
Is it worth taking yours back to find out what the problem is with your pan?

Hi Rara.  It's the stainless one.  

I line it with baking paper and the bottom is fine but the sides end up splattered and black from the fat & oil spitting.

 I'll get some gumption and give that a try.

Thanks

Thanks Maddy and those who reminded me I have oven bags hidden in the dark depths of my bottom drawer in the kitchen. The problem is I don't do lots of roasts anymore, as we are so busy and they take time.  However I am following Gerts lead and starting to empty my freezer/pantry and have come across lots of larger cuts of meat hidden in the back of the freezer that I kept for when we had family close by, and who may call in and I could ask them to stay for a meal, so we have had a couple of roasts in the last week, and I will make a shepherds pie with the left over meat tomorrow.  I have just made Isi strawberry mousse with some strawberries I found in the freezer too, but had to make it with full cream powdered milk, as that was all I had, so not so low fat,  but just licking the spatula was yummy.

Pumpkin Pie, sounds yummy

Obbie will let you know how things go,  also I also believed that with non stick you didn't have to use a cooking medium eg oil, but I think I have that wrong?
