Any cooking oil with a high smoke point works well, such as vegetable oil, canola oil, or grapeseed oil.

Soak the dish in warm, soapy water for a while. Use a non-abrasive sponge or a soft brush to gently scrub away the residue. Avoid using steel wool.

Ensure the dish and lid are clean and free from any food particles or debris that might be preventing a proper seal. Also, make sure that the lid is the correct size for the dish.
