Peroxide Muffins

This post has been a multiple day project... and no, I didn't really make peroxide muffins but I did endeavor to clean my muffin tins with peroxide.  Peroxide and baking soda to be exact.  I had a link on one of my Pinterest boards of all sorts of things you can do with peroxide.  However, when I was looking at it again one day recently it starting giving me some virus pop-ups so I deleted the pin.  I was able to glean a few ideas, though and this was one of them.  It was originally for baked on food but my muffin tins had gotten horribly rusty so I decided to try it.

Here is a before picture:

 

 

Pretty nasty, huh?

 

 

My Secret Weapons:

 

 

I made a paste with the baking soda and peroxide then tested it on the bottom, just to make sure it was going to be ok!

 

 

It worked great so I used what I had left on the top.

 

 

Much improvement! 

However, it needed to sit longer and it was going to take some elbow grease as well.

 

 

 

Hubby sprayed the pan with Pam cooking spray to help seal it from anymore rust

before I could get back to it again.

 

A few days later I had a chance to go back and try again.

 

 

 

After almost 2 hrs it was really getting bubbly! 

I let it sit close to 3 hrs total I believe.

 

It definitely took some elbow grease as well but they look much better! 

Not perfect but improved.

 

 

 

 

 

I'm sure I will still use muffin cups when I bake but I feel better knowing they are cleaner!

I will probably do another coat of Pam cooking spray as a sealant.
