How to get melted plastic off pan?
Dropped a plastic oil cap on my hot pan for a couple seconds right before I was about to cook and I am unfortunately left with a plastic film on my pan.
I tried soap and water, bar keepers friend, soaked it in soap and hot water, tried scraping it off with a wooden spatula. Next to nothing has come off. The pan is currently in my freezer in the hopes that the plastic becomes brittle.
Anyone have any suggestions? Or is my pan cooked?
Update: after 3 hours in the freezer I got my wooden spatula out and scrubbed the hell out of my pan. I got about 90% of the plastic off and decided one more freezer session should hopefully do the trick. 18 more hours in the freezer and we look to be plastic free. I then boiled some soapy water in it for 5-10 minutes, scrubbed it with bar keepers for 5 minutes, and then one last wash with soap and water. Unfortunately we’re a little scraped up and not mirroresque as one might want, but that’s Dallas. Pic in the comments.
