Cleaning the oven
|
|
| I used my hand held steam cleaner. Worked well. |
| I've boiled vinegar in the kettle and used that to clean the stove and oven... works really well, as hot as you can possibly stand it with gloves and really use a lot, it works surprisingly well.
I have asthma and can't deal with the fumes of easy off type cleaners. |
| Mom would warm the oven, turn it off and then put in a big bowl if ammonia and shut the door. After about 4 hours she'd take steel wool and scrub off the mess. How she breathed those ammonia fumes, I'll never know. |
| You know Easy Off is mostly a lye compound which is neutralized by vinegar, so it's not as unfriendly as you might imagine. OK, aerosol, but before it was a brush on product. Seems to me mostly I've used a pump bottle, not aerosol. |
| I too remember the days of the brush on oven cleaner and would use that if I could find it. I refuse to use the spray.
I've heard the ammonia method before so will try that. Not today though!  |
| I did the ammonia thing last night and this morning scrubbed the door, part of the sides, and the floor and got a lot of goop off. No way I can do the "roof" of the oven so I decided that there is nothing wrong with having a dirty oven....... |
| Yeah, as we get older the oven roof turns into a mission impossible. I don't bend that way any more and kneeling is totally OFB.
Remeber to wipe down the oven with diluted vinegar to eliminate any lingering ammonia smell. Really important if you use Easy Off. Only two problems with dirty ovens, they stink up baked goods and they might catch fire...but things really have to be bad! Good job, now go eat a sugar cookie. |
