Reader Question: “Help I have a new Pyrex baking dish I burnt BBQ sauce in it…What can I use to clean it? It’s been soaking in continuously hot water with Dawn Power Clean. Any suggestions, thanks!”
How to Clean Burnt on Sauce in a Pyrex Dish
- Throw a dryer sheet in the water let it set for half an hour and wipe it off or use a ball of foil to scrape it off.
- A very wet paste of hot water and baking soda. Let it sit and soak.
- Vinegar, so you can actually eat the foods you cook in it next time. Although, I do this often, and all I need to use is an ocello sponge & 7th generation dish soap. I only bring out vinegar for the really tough jobs. Maybe do 50/50 vinegar & water to cover the dirty area & put back in the oven for a while. The boiling vinegar cleans even better than cold.
- Scotch Brite Stainless Steel scrubbers and a little elbow grease works every time!!!
- I use Oxiclean dishwasher detergent. Shake some in the pot or bowl your cleaning and add some dish soap and fill with hot hot water. Leave it overnight and it’ll wipe off.
- Fill with water and throw a dishwasher tab in overnight.
- Soak it with super hot water and some fabric softener overnight. Then use a plastic scraper.
- Fill with water, pour in a little vinegar, cover with foil, put it in the oven… 350 for, oh 45 minutes…. Careful removing (you can let it cool a bit, pour out liquid and the stains wipe right off… Rinse, voila!)
- And, many products were mentioned like: Barkeeper’s Friend, SOS pads, and Mr. Clean Magic Erasers.

I love my pyrex and have some vintage pieces that were passed down in my family that are so special to me. One thing that I have learned is that if it is a patterned or colored piece DO NOT put it in the dishwasher!! Only wash it by hand. Use gentle/natural cleaners nothing abrasive. If it is a clear glass piece then it would be fine to put in the dishwasher and scrub.

This is a really useful hack for me! I am a cleaner (http://wimbledon-cleaners.org.uk/) and everyday I face many different cleaning challenges so for me is really important to know about all helpful cleaners! Thank you for the post! 🙂

My burnt on was around the edges and the handles of a casserole dish so soaking was pretty difficult. I poured vinegar on the target areas then sprinkled baking soda on it. It still took some elbow grease but it came off.

Borax!!! That’s all

I use the cleaner I use for my ceramic cook top (which is designed to clean burned on gunk from glass). Rub some on, let sit for about an hour and then use a soft scrub sponge. Works well for this and enameled cast iron.

Genius! Don’t know why I (aka Mrs. Clean) didn’t think of it! LOL.

After trying to soak and scrub for two days I searched for a solution on the internet and found one that worked. I used liquid clothes soap and added a bit of oxygen bleach. Soaked for 1 hour and it literally floated off the dish.

Thanks for the tips. It drives me crazy when my Pyrex, which I use all the time, looks like I never wash them!

Bon Ami works like a charm on Pyrex and CorningWare. Pots and pans too.
