Years and years ago the way you cleaned your oven was hard. You can still clean your oven like this but it is time consuming and you gotta put some muscle into it.
Buy SOS pads and scrub like the dickens! Then wipe the entire oven down and most likely you'll see all the places you missed so you do it again. Lots and lots of work.
These days there are easier ways to clean your oven. If you have a newer oven you will see the selection that says clean oven. You will turn it on and walk away requiring no action on your part. It takes several hours for your oven to do its thing but it's pretty incredible to experience if you've never had the chance. The only part that is a little uncomfortable is there will be some fumes that you will smell when utilizing this feature. So be prepared to endure the smell.
The final way you may want to try, in a very well venatlated room, would be the oven spray cleaner you can pick up at the store. This methods, comes with instructions on the can, however, it is basically spray, let it sit for severals hours and then you must be prepared to go in and wipe it all off. Be prepared for more fumes.
I hope you find this informative and helpful! Now go clean!

Matt cleaned the oven at DBU one time and we used EASYOFF cleaner. I worked REALLY well. But we had to open all the windows and doors due to the fumes.
ReplyDeleteHow often do you need to clean your oven?
ReplyDeleteWhich method do you prefer?
Clean your oven as needed. What I mean by that is it all depends on how often you use your oven and then what are you baking in your oven. If you bake food that drips all over the oven then you will need to clean it more often. Typically I would say once a year. However, if you smell the last meal you baked everytime you use your oven, you will need to clean it more often.
ReplyDeleteI used EASY Off for years, however you must make sure it is well venilated. It is easy because you don't have to scrub like with an SOS pad, but it is messy to wipe off the oven after it has sat for a couple of hours.
