Keeping the oven clean can often feel like an uphill battle, with splatters and baked-on food clinging stubbornly to its interior after each use. However, there's a straightforward and effective way to tackle this household chore without breaking a sweat.
The secret lies in using everyday items, like a dishwasher tablet, which has excellent degreasing and sanitizing capabilities. For an easy clean, place a dishwasher tablet in a heat-proof dish, pour over some boiling water, and set it inside a preheated oven at 100°C (212°F). Leave it for an hour with the door closed. The tablet dissolves, creating a steamy environment that loosens grime and residue, making them easy to wipe away with a damp cloth for a sparkling finish.
But that’s not the only trick up your sleeve. Salt—a staple in any kitchen—can also play a pivotal role in oven maintenance. Sprinkle it over troublesome spots, heat your oven to 180°C (350°F), and let the salt work its magic, transforming the gunk into an easily removable ash.
