How can I prevent my cookie sheets from burning? And, if they are already burnt how can I clean them?

well you can prevent burning them by using a silpat or parchment paper... this way, whatever you are baking doesnt stick to the surface and get stuck to the cookie sheet.
======
Clean burnt-on foods off a cookie sheet by soaking it in warm soapy water for a least 30 minutes. Use a bench knife or a rubber scraper to carefully scrape off the food. Do not use a bench knife on a nonstick surface.
Another trick for cleaning cookie sheets or jellyroll pans is to use dryer sheets. Cover the bottom of the pan with warm soapy water, then put a dryer sheet into the water. Wait for 15 minutes or so and the pan should clean up easily.
Oven cleaner also works well on cookie sheets. Spray sheet with cleaner and let sit for about 15 minutes, then wipe and rinse clean. Make sure the oven cleaner will not damage the surface of your cookware.

Clean them with a scouring pad and elbow grease afer letting them soak in warm water a while. You can prevent burning the cookie sheets by lining them with parchment paper(which you should be able to find in the baking section of your grocery store).

scrub them down a little, get off the burned stuff.
take a paper towel and wipe some lard or butter (lard works best) on them (both sides)and put them in a 500 degree oven till they stop smoking. take them out and let them cool and do this a few times. the cookie sheets will have a nice brown/ black finish on them that's almost stick proof. this is the same way you season an iron skillet.
dont wash any "seasoned" cook ware in the dishwasher. and NEVER use a course scouring pad on them. for the most part, we never even use soap on out skillets or baking tins.
just wash them off with hot water and a dish rag, and dry them off in the oven or on the burner, and when there dry and still a little hot rub them down with a little lard....just enough to make them shine
hope this helps

HOLD ON A MINUTE!!!! Cassandra's answer is not totally correct. DO NOT spray oven cleaner on aluminum sheets. Theyt will pit and roughen. You can use oven cleaner safely on stainless steel only. On burned on aluminum, only steel wool soap pads or fine wet/dry sandpaper.
You can buy new ones for very little money. I'd throw those burnt ones out and buy new ones and then use parchment from now on. Isn't your time and effort worth money to you?

Hi Ashley, Cassandra is on the "Mark"! My aunt is the "Betty Crocker" of our family. She resisted this idea for years (38 to be exact)! She thinks/thought that "elbow grease" was the best way. Boy, has she eaten "crow'! XOXO Moonpie

Cassandra's info is the best. I was a professional baker and used those methods all the time. Great ideas!

Take them out before you preheat the oven
