How to wash roasting tin liners?

Monica, that is a lot more involved than my holding a floppy bit of liner under a running tap - so I'll stick with my liners. To line the pan I take the liner out of the drawer, place in pan, roast, remove from pan and stand manhandling the floppy liner under hot tap.

Baggs, I'm trying to avoid having to do much at all. Even rinse the floppy bit of liner was taxing me!

I use liners and stick them in the dishwasher; they come out ok. I cannot abide washing roasting tins or oven trays!

I just soak roasting pans with hot water and detergent and then put on hob, bring to boil and simmer for 15 minutes. If anything remains, it comes off quickly with a scourer.

I still think it sounds easier than lining the pan.

Scribbles thanks! Will give them a go.

Have you tried soda crystals sprinkled over fairly thickly and then covered with very hot water?

Admission: haven't read the whole thread so someone else might have suggested this already.

Grannyknot, re dishwasher tablets, I use Lidl's W5 and now won't use any other sort. Their performance knocks spots off others, both branded and own brand.

Easy to miss Maizie - it's quite a boring topic really - even I'm bored and I started the blessed thing.

Oh, forget that. I re-read the thread

You never told us what you were making to produce such a problem, kittylester

It is impossible to get off the baking trays, Monica and foil, baking paper etc.

I suppose I could just stop making them but they are our favourite Saturday supper and I do them probably once a month - any children staying ask for them too. The ridiculous thing is that they are not at all sticky - just crisp.

If you line a roasting tin with something else that also needs cleaning why bother? Just use and wash the roasting tin and save yourself the extra cost and hassle.

For based on baking tins etc I put a scoop of vanish in the tin and pour on boiling water and leave it to stand. The wings I do stick to the extent that even vanish won't shift it. Foil and baking paper don't work either. And I'm lazy

I use the more expensive Sainsbury's own brand tabs, GK and find them really good - apart from chicken wing trays!

I have a silver liner for the grill pan and I’ve sometimes put in the dishwasher. Other times I’ve damped it so it sticks to the worktop and then wiped it over with cream kitchen cleaner. I let the cream work for a few minutes before washing it off. It doesn’t seem to fly around in the dishwasher.

Could you put them in the washing machine or are they too greasy? I remember once being told at a Tupperware party that Tupperware can go in the washing machine.

I never line roasting tins, I keep a box of cheap, basic, dishwasher tabs under the sink - pop some boiling water in the tray with one of those, boil it for a while and then the tray goes in the dishwasher.

And talking about dishwashers, which tabs do you recommend, please ? I currently use Finish Quantum but still sometimes get streaks on glasses.

I've just checked my Lakeland one and it is much thicker than mine and would have to be cut to shape, mine don't!

I think we should allow this thread to die before someone spots how boring I am and mentions it as an example of inane comments of GN.

Mine are from Sainsbury's and wouldn't stand like a dinner plate. I find them an unwieldy godsend. They fold over themselves in washing up water which means I have to hold them under hot running water and drape them around - over the tap, over the utensil rail.

I thought I was missing something - maybe a bit of brain?

I've got a Lakeland one, I'll try that.

In the dishwasher just place them as you would a dinner plate.

kitty I use the ones that you do ( from Lakeland) they are so brilliant and useful for many things.I clean them in hot soapy water just using Fairy liquid, anything comes off them easily.I did try putting one in the dishwasher once, it came out clean ( not crumpled up) but really it’s overkill, as they wash easily anyway.

Mine are the heavier ones too. I have a couple of the thinner ones but I don’t use them very much and I haven’t put them in the dishwasher. I think the only way you could stop them “wandering” would be to peg them to the basket!

They are very flimsy, corner, and I suspect they will have to continue being held under hot running water.

Theblack ones are quite thick and heavy kitty, I put ours on top of the crocker on the top shelf, works well. I wonder if yours are thinner? I've led a sheltered life and haven't seen cream ones.

Don't they 'take off' in the dishwasher and end up in a crumpled, messy heap,?

I use the black ones as well, straight into the top shelf of the dishwasher and good as new.
