Hi everybody,

The folks have had these beloved pans in the fam. for 50 years or more.

Can anybody advise on how they could get the bottom cleaned up with a sandblaster or something? Apparently there is a build up of carbon on the base.

Ta!

Apparently baking, vinegar plus a little elbow grease.

Hi Alex

As Andy mentioned baking soda/ bicarbonate soda and vinegar.
Get a large box, not from the cooking section of a supermarket.
I’ve also seen suggestions in r/lifehacks on Reddit, but can’t remember what they were!

My method is to put anything with burnt-on carbon deposits into a sealable bag, add a few teaspoons of household ammonia (try to not let the ammonia touch the items being cleaned), seal it and leave it for several hours. The carbon seems to come off much easier with a scourer afterwards.

I think the active ingredient in laser bed cleaner is sodium metasilicate.  Certainly shifts built up carbon.
