What not to clean an oven with?
Avoid using harsh chemicals like ammonia or bleach, abrasive scrubbers such as steel, pouring water into a hot oven, and commercial oven cleaners in a self-cleaning oven.
Why is it important to clean the oven?
Cleaning the oven is crucial for health, safety, and efficiency. It prevents germs, bad smells, and fires. A clean oven saves energy, reduces cooking time, and prolongs its lifespan. Plus, it ensures better-tasting food without burnt bits or lingering flavors.
How Often Should You Clean Your Oven?
Clean your oven every 3 to 6 months, depending on usage frequency. Regular cleaning maintains its appearance and prevents food residue buildup and fire hazards. Wipe spills with a damp cloth promptly to avoid hardened residues.
How To Clean Inside the Oven
1. Remove Loose Debris
Cooling down the oven and removing loose crumbs and debris is an essential first step in oven cleaning. Once the oven has cooled, use a soft cloth or a damp sponge to wipe away any visible residue on the oven walls and racks. Then, vacuum up any loose crumbs and debris from the bottom of the oven.
