1. Place the baking sheet on a stable heat-resistant surface and allow it to cool completely. Do not touch hot metal or rapidly douse it with cold water.
2. Remove parchment and food residue. Rather than scraping stubborn spots with metal, use a nylon, wooden or silicone utensil gently.
3. Hand-wash using warm water and mild dish soap. Nordic Ware recommends hand-washing this model before its first use and after subsequent uses.
4. Avoid steel wool, abrasive pads and abrasive cleaners. Metal utensils and scouring pads can scratch the uncoated aluminum surface.
5. Rinse off soap thoroughly, wipe away water with a soft cloth and let the sheet dry completely before storing. Avoid scraping it against stacked pans.
6. Skip the dishwasher. Nordic Ware warns that dishwasher detergent causes discoloration; that cosmetic change by itself does not reduce baking performance or safety. Consider parchment paper or a silicone baking mat on later uses.
