Reply To: Anyone here cook with a grill pan, how on earth do you clean it?

I have found that filling the sink with boiling hot water and strong soap (the key being stronger soap then regular soap) for about 1/2 an hr usually works, along with something like steel wool (it’s not steel wool though, but it’s a scrubber) and a little bit of elbow grease. Also if there’s an oil issue, I find that putting the soap directly on the pan, and then using your hands to wash it as opposed to a sponge, gets the oil off.
