Buy It And Try It: Magic Sheets

Ray Jarrett has done it all: dishwashing, cooking, bussing tables… his
mother owns Carol's Restaurant in West Sacramento. For 20 years,
people have been coming here for country cooking.

"Biscuits and gravy, definitely our most popular," Ray said.

At the end of the day, you can usually find some dirty pots and pans.
That's where the Magic Sheets are supposed to come in.

Normally, Ray soaks his pans in hot water, then lets the dishwasher do
the work, but agreed to try out the Magic Sheets to see if it's a
short cut.

Ray reads the directions on the box: "Wet sheet, wipe area, fill item
with water and drop in the Magic Sheet. Leave 10-20 minutes."

"It just looks like a piece of paper, I don't know what's so special
about it," Ray said.

We first test it out on a pan leftover from lasagna. The video
demonstration says you can use cold water, just wipe the pan with a
Magic Sheet, then drop in a new sheet and let it soak.

We wait for 20 minutes.

"Looks like it got a lot off but there's still a lot of food that's
stuck," Ray said.

The directions state you still have to wash the pan with soap and
water, but you don't need to scrub as hard, and instead of letting it
soak overnight, it takes just minutes. What does Ray think?

"I put just as much effort into cleaning it," he said.

We then test it out on two pans of leftover bacon grease. We soak one
with plain hot water, and we wipe the other down with cold water and
three Magic Sheets. We again wait for 20 minutes.

"It made the job a lot easier, using the Magic Sheet," Ray said.

Ray says it made a difference on the bacon pans, but not so much on
the lasagna one. Would he use the Magic Sheets?

"Personally, no, I'd save the money," he said.

I paid $5.95 plus shipping and handling and I bought it online at
