I think that's the right term, flat baking sheet, about 1 x 2 ft., with a
low rim around the edge.

Anyhow, it came with a paper label glued to the inside of the tray. I tore
most of this off but for the life of me can't remove the glued down corners
of the label. I tried soaking it in water overnight after squirting some
dish soap on the glued parts. Tried a wire brush. Tried a sharp knife. I
can use the sheet by lining it with foil but I'd like to get those label
remains off.

Any suggestions?

TIA

Oven cleaner may work.

Fortunately, these days most of the labels are the peel and stick kind, but
I will never understand why they put some of those labels where they put
them, especially on glassware and fragile items. Ridiculous. I do use Goo
Gone and it works pretty well on most things.

I have too. I've sometimes tried pulling a corner off a label in the
store. If it did not come off clean I put it back and looked for an
alternative.

The worst labels are on stupidmarket produce... why do they need to
put a label on each and every piece of fruit?? In winter I buy those
on the vine tomatoes, even though there are like five tomatoes on the
same stem each has a label I'm surprised they don't label every
grape. The worst are labels on pears, it's impossible to remove a
label without taking some pear skin... I just leave the labels on
pears until I eat them. Why do they need super glue for produce
labels... why do the need labels???

Try isopropyl alcohol. Rinsing properly afterwards, of course.

Bye, Sanne.

Ken, there are a couple of really good "glue" removal products...ask your
local hardware store. I have used Energine before...also nail polish remover.
You shouldn't have used a knife, that will give your new pan permanent
scratches.

They put them on because they have a product code. Most stores carry
such a wide range of produce that cashiers cannot be expected to
identify them all. Those tomatoes come on vines as a marketing gimmick.
There may be 4 or 5 on a vine, but you don't have to take the whole
vine any more than you have to take the whole hand of bananas or bunch
of grapes.

It's probably to help the cashier identify the produce. They're expected to be able to identify and remember the produce code for each item. This is a feat most of us would not be able to do. My son was pretty good at it when he worked as a cashier. He may have eidetic memory so that probably helped..

I thought the tags had to do with origin so food borne illnesses could
be traced. I looked it up and not so. It has to do with how the item
is grown.

Here they scan the bar code for produce at the register same as with
packaged items. But I see no need to stick a label on each small
piece of fruit, hardly anyone buys just one and if someone does the
checker has a binder with every kind of produce listed alphabetically.
Those labels are obviously stuck on by hand one at a time, what a
waste of labor/time... and at least stick it on the stem/blossom area
that no one eats. Someone who wants to become very wealthy needs to
develop a hand held inkjet printer that shoots a scanable code on
produce with edible/washable ink... do away with those PIA labels...
shouldn't be a bigly deal to develop an AP with every item in the
store, no more schtoopid labels on anything. They developed rubber
stamps that the date etc. could easily be changed and even had it's
own built in ink pad (I still see people using thoe rubber date
stamps)... are yoose telling me today's computer nerds can't come up
with a computer driven tattoo device... should be able to load the AP
into any smart phone, and plug in the one color printing gun (about
the size of a magic marker), can even be wireless.

I don't have that but do have some Goof Off. I suspect they are as

Yep, Nancy2, I suggested acetone (aka nail polish remover). It's very

I liked the suggestion to try and remove tag in store. If tag not
removable, it's not buy-able.

Yes, Ed was absolutely right about that! I haven't had to buy a baking

Ordinary household ammonia may work. I don't like to use acetone,
it's a carcinogen, that's why nail polish remover nowadays says
"contains no acetone". A small dab of peanut butter also removes
labels.

If nothing else works...just use a butane torch and burn the label off.
Don't concentrate the flame in one spot too long but "brush" it back
and forth over the label.
After it cools, just crumble it off with a plastic pot cleaner.
Don't scratch the surface or you'll have sticking cookies for ever.

Or a mango and an artichoke. They scan the items, and yes, sometimes
buy by the "each". Hence the need for the bar code.

That's fine with me, I'm into scannable codes. I used to work for a company that made readers and printers. OTOH, my guess is that we'll soon have RFID implants and we'll pretty much be monitored everywhere we go. When I worked for Intermec, we logged in our hours and jobs with bar codes. This will be the same thing except we be logging in all our time and everything we do.. It will happen because it can happen.

Try rubbing alcohol, and scrape it off with a credit card.

Avoid cutting yourself when slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them.

I was surprised at comments in a thread here a year or two ago.
Apparently there are people here who think you have to take produce in
whatever clumps they come it. I have absolutely no qualms about breaking
up a hand of bananas or a bunch of grapes. I tend to buy bananas in
small bunches. I get them near perfect ripeness and get 3 or four at a
time. I don't want 10 or more in a bunch. I will also remove any over
ripe bananas from a bunch. I often snack on grapes and find 3-4 will
do the trick, so I only want a small bunch. If the bunches are too big I
break off a branch with the amount I need.

I am not the only one who does it. The banana section in most of the
local stores often have single bananas or pairs of them. If they are in
my ripeness range I will gladly take those.

That's a bunch of nonsense. Glitter and gel polishes require acetone to
remove them. That kind of polish remover is still sold. But it is very
drying to the skin and nails. So they also make the kind without it but IMO,
it's not very effective. I'm also partial to glitter, so...

This guy should take a hint.

I am shocked that you are agreeing with sw's nasty comments

Funny... I have 4 heavy-duty half-sheet baking pans that have a small
barcode label on the bottom which went unnoticed when I bought them.
Each pan did have a rather large easy to remove label on the face side.
Those pans have all been used in my oven as high as 500 degrees and
barcode labels are still intact. That includes a like number of
sessions in the dishwasher. I have never since tried to remove them.

When you say 'face side' do you mean the side that is used? If so, do you
cover it with foil etc?

Ken, I think Goof Off is supposed to remove paint in the wrong place, or
other mis-applied products, not glue. It would be a good idea to buy some
Goo Gone so you don't get stymied by glue in the future. It doesn't cost a
fortune.

Hey... it's not like everyone wasn't once a newbie to cooking.
