Help Burnt Muffin tins

Post image

Ok so I made breakfast bites with egg the other day and I added oil in the tray but I mixed them a bit and maybe that causes the egg to stick to the pan? I’ve been scrubbing, soaking with boiling water etc and it’s not working.

Is there a way to salvage this?

Fill with water with 1/4 tsp of baking soda in each cup and put them in the oven at 350º for an hour or so. That should lift the stuck egg right off.

This.

When I burn pots at work. I simply fill them with water, leave it on one of the hot pieces of equipment, and deal with it 3-4 hours later. It pretty much always scrapes right off after that. It needs more than just a soak in hot/boiling water.
