As if the thought of someone traipsing through the woods with a sheet of Bounce looped around a belt isn't amusing enough:
"Clean baked-on foods ... Put a [Bounce] sheet in a pan, fill with water, let sit overnight, and sponge clean. The anti-static agent apparently weakens the bond between the food and the pan while the fabric-softening agents soften the baked-on food."
Making the next logical step, I'll be using Bounce as a meat tenderizer.
