Senkosam Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 Anchor brand pyrex is the hardest to get the plastic off the walls. Is there an easier way than using a knife or razor blade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassinfool Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 I have never had a problem with this unless the plastic was scorched to the side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 Once you get it mostly out, you can try wiping it down really well with acetone to get the rest of the plastic off, and then shooting some spray PAM on the inside before you do your next batch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRammit Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 i use anchor... most of it should just peel out, get the small pieces out with a paper towel is your cup all scratched up?... perhaps from the razor blade?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slammingjack Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 Got me why it's doing that, I have 4 of them and all the plastic peels out in one piece Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senkosam Posted July 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 I noticed that when I use salt water plastic with salt, it's worse. Soft plastic - less so. Another cup labeled PYREX in caps - not as bad and most of the plastic lifts right out. The Anchors are probably scratched from years of cutting plastic off the walls. The Pam/ acetone idea seems like it may work. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallmouthaholic Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 (edited) You don't need acetone.Simple Green wipes or spray will do the job. Let the plastisol cool completely. It should peel out in one small,thin mass. Edited July 31, 2016 by smallmouthaholic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senkosam Posted July 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 (edited) Didn't have Simple Green so I used oven cleaner (let sit for 20 minutes), an abrasive pad and hot water. Did fine with a bit of scrubbing and insured every bit came off. Now I have to try the Pam idea. Wonder if any cooking oil will do. Plastic that has been reused too many times seems to be the culprit even though I never heat it to over 300 degrees. New plastic separates clean from the glass.

Ed_White Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 Brakleen in the red can does a great job of removing the annoying bits from glass cups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FATFLATTIE Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 I personally have never experienced a real problem getting the plastic out of the cups. It just peels right out of the cup. Whenever I have some little piddly bits left in the cup a paper towel with some rubbing alcohol on it gets the cup spotless in just a couple swipes.
