@theriot29 this is what used to puzzle me. i always got mine done after Christmas after the mess of cooking over Christmas, the rest of the year i figured chicken nuggets didn’t make too much mess you’ll have to post some pics of your cakes, I’m blown away by talent like yours!

Comments

@place  self clean oven. Wow. That's amazing!  

Answer 44

Oven pride. Pop every thing in the bag. Use soluton on walls of oven leave overnight. So qick and easy.  

Answer 45

Oven pride is really really good , but very time consuming , if heavily dirty it may take a couple of days but will come up brand new. Mr muscle is quicker but I have read and also experienced that over time it weakens the glass and my oven door glass actually shattered.

Answer 48

Pink stuff paste in a tub. ♥️

Answer 49

Use soap filled pads on the glass and clean it fairly regularly (not loads) to reduce build up of burnt on grease

Answer 50

Astonish oven cleaner

Answer 51

Put it off until looking inside looks like looking down a coal pit in the depths of Hell. Cry a bit. Swear a bit more. Then bicarbonate of soda and white vinegar with a touch of washing up liquid for the main cavity. Bicarbonate of soda and washing up liquid for the door. And I cannot recommend reusable inserts enough. They go at the bottom catch all the drips and you slide them out wash them off in the sink and pop it back in. They last for ages too! Cuts future oven scrubbing time in half!  

Answer 52

Put liner in

Answer 53

U cleaning it r you thanks

Answer 54

Self cleaning oven  

Answer 55

Give it a wipe out once a week to stop the build up. or if you're like me hang a tea towel over the handle so you can't see in it  

Answer 56

Call my brother lol

Answer 57

Call a professional. I have taken an oath to never clean an oven again.  

Answer 58

Oven racks and grill pan in the bath with washing up powder and baking soda over night Brillo pads / oven cleaner paste, ashtons or pink stuff typically. And doesn't take long to scrub it. But I probably only bother about once a year  once it's burnt so much so it's easier to remove  

Answer 59

Oven pride for main clean and pink stuff for interim touch ups

Answer 60

Turn oven on highest setting for 10 mins. turn off leave for 5 mins wipe out! Spray with your chosen clean easy as pie no need for 101 different types of cleaning products

@auriscope its honestly so easy the grease just wipes out xx

If it's a Fan assisted oven, please wear a mask, you don't want to be inhaling chemicals. This is the simplest and quickest way to clean an over, but the chemical/heat will create a vapour, that's really bad for your airways. I developed let onset asthma from this methored as I didn't use PPE x

---

@ong @cystocele397 Snedden you dont need chemicals to wipe it out when its warm lovely by the time you've wiped it and I use fairy washing up liquid to clean the left over bits of grease before anything else it's more less cold anyway I'd never use anything on a hot/warm oven xxx

Answer 93

Dab a mixture of water and baking soda (the result should be paste-like) over the inside of the oven . Let it stand overnight. Use a sponge the next day to remove the gunge. For the racks I put an old towel in the bath. Put the racks on top and fill with hot water. Add 1 cup of washing powder (I use Surf) and 1 cup of soda crystals. Leave over night and the grease/baked on gunge will wipe off with hardly any effort.
