How To Seriously Deep Clean Your Oven

 


In the realm of culinary tools, the oven is undoubtedly one I use constantly, yet clean infrequently. Despite many modern ovens featuring self-cleaning capabilities, this alone doesn't provide the thorough scrubbing your oven truly deserves. Regain your oven's pristine condition with these straightforward deep cleaning techniques!


1-Rack Removal

Begin by taking out your oven racks. Immerse them in a sink or tub brimming with hot, sudsy water. Let them sit for several hours before you scrub, rinse, and dry them.


2-Crafting a Cleaning Paste

Should your oven host stubborn spots of burnt food and other residues, create a paste with dish soap, baking soda, and water. Lather this mixture on the affected areas and leave it for approximately an hour. Once the hour is up, scrub and wipe the spot clean with a moist cloth.


3-Oven Door Revamp

What's the most efficient method to eradicate grime off your oven door? Nothing more than a Magic Eraser coupled with some good old-fashioned elbow grease!


Accessing Hidden Corners

Make sure not to neglect those tucked-away spots! Utilize a butter knife enveloped in a piece of paper towel to reach between vent slots and behind the knobs of the elements.

Next, soak a towel in a mixture of water and liquid dish soap, wring it out, and lay it over the stovetop. Leave it there for about half an hour. Once time's up, a gentle scrub should dislodge even the most persistent residues.
