How do you get your OVEN clean?

[Mum2Romone]

What do you use?

I'm sick of using the terrible spray and I'm wondering what else there is to use out there?

Any ideas ladies

Ohh ohh there is a thread in here somewhere (will link when found) about bi-card and vinegar.
I used it last week and although took some elbow grease it got off HEAPS.. even some of the old cruddy stuff from the previous owners.

i use easy off oven, its brilliant! only takes an hour to work and wipes off shiney clean. it is a spray, ive tried gels and other things but nothing works as well as this one

A bowl of boiling water in a hot oven for about 30 mins (door closed), turn off the oven and let it cool.
Will steam most of the crap off, then some hot soapy water and a soft scourer, elbow grease and some time.

Easy as, and no chemicals, works a treat. I do it every month and it means there isn't anything too crusty and caked.

Also, wiping out spills etc as the happen will stop you getting a rally manky burnt oven too.

HTH

yep...the condensation acculmulates around the oven, and the steam breaks down the crusties... lol

Yay will team this with my bi-card and vinegar and we should have the worlds cleanest oven...

I just did mine on Monday with bicarb and water paste, spread it all over, then soft scourer over the top, spray with vinegar, and wipe it out with a rag. Stunning.

Oh I wish I hadn't seen this thread... Now I know what I have to do this evening! Thanks for the tip LimeSlice.

You're supposed to clean your oven?

Hmm. HMM.

Hmm. HMM.

Supposed to? Who said that?
Second the bicarb & vinegar, but will definitely be trying the boiling water. I clean the microwave that way & it works really really well (and I never thought about doing it to the oven! )

I soak the racks overnight in laundry detergent. It all just falls off next day. Inside the oven I use a scourer and washing up liquid and some elbow grease. Have thought about spraying it with laundry detergent to loosen it but haven't tried it yet.
