Oven Cleaning Method

A simple, non-toxic technique to clean an oven using steam and dishwashing liquid, eliminating the need for caustic products or elbow grease.

Equipment

• 1 gratin dish or oven-safe pot
• microfiber cloth or soft sponge

Ingredients

• 1 dishwashing liquid capsule (gel or solid)
• Tap water

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 90-95°C (no higher!).
2. Fill the dish with hot water and place in the bag.
3. Once the oven is hot, place the dish on the middle shelf.
4. Close the door and leave it for 1 hour.
5. After an hour, turn off the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
6. Be careful with the steam when you open the door.
7. Wipe the inside with a damp cloth: the grease will melt away.

Notes

The steam reaches every nook and cranny while enzymes in the capsule dissolve baked-on grease. Bonus tips for a consistently clean oven are mentioned but not detailed in the text.
