Oven cleaner?

hmm... must get scourer thing!

Thank you! I'll give that a go!

I think I wet mine first with soapy water to try and 'soak' it a bit.. but was just thinking.. maybe stick hot wet paper towels onto it to soak it? I might try that next time. Might help lift it a bit before wiping it out.

The enjo method is to have a bowl of boiling hot water in the oven and keep topping it up every half hour so you kind of steam the oven to loosen the grease, then you just wipe out with the enjo glove. A friend of mine did it and said it worked well. But I don't usually have that block of time to clean it haha.. so I just used more elbow grease

how many times do you have to top it up? Surely after an hour it's not easy enough to wipe off....

I pull out everything that will move and clean it in a mixture of bicarb paste with vinegar (or lemon juice if I have any) and elbow grease. Glass with bicarb / vinegar. You don't need a plastic scourer - old pantyhose stuffed with newspaper will give gentle scour. Inside I use lemon or vinegar in hot water to loosen the grease, and then a bicarb paste to shine.

I think you did it about 3 or 4 times. So a couple of hours of just topping up the boiling water. But I think it loosens it well.

Lemon or vinegar sounds like a good idea too.
