EVERYONE loves cleaning the oven.
Such an easy, fast job.
Now we've all stopped laughing, here's the good news — cleaning the oven is about to become your favourite chore.
The easiest method is to fill a baking dish with hot water and place it on the bottom oven rack.
Turn the oven on high and let it simmer away for 30 minutes.
Remember to keep an eye on things through the glass to make sure the dish doesn't become empty.
Top it up only if you have to, because if you open the door, the steam will escape.
The steam clean will loosen all the grease and grime build-up.
After half an hour, turn the oven off and allow it to cool down. All that's left to do is use a damp cloth and wipe everything away.
Of course, if you still don't feel the oven is clean unless you've scrubbed it, try mixing bicarb soda with water to make a thin paste.
Wipe it over all the oven's surfaces (except the elements) and leave it to dry for a few hours. Then simply wipe it all away with a damp cloth.
Of course, if you prefer a store-bought solution, give Gumption a go.
It's a gentle paste that will get most surfaces clean.
