the black stuff on cooking sheets?

What is that black stuff that builds up on cooking sheets after heavy use? Why is it so difficult to clean? Is it possible to clean it off completely?

As others have said, it’s mostly carbon.

You can use oven cleaner, but that is a bit of a nuclear option. I use copious quantities of Cif and leave it sitting for a while. You can then scrub it off with a plastic scritcher (I mean one of those sponges with a tough nylon scratchy surface and a soft sponge surface).

I wouldn’t use brillo pads on a cooking sheet, they usually have nonstick surface and it’ll get damaged.
