Ovens!!

[bella_again]

Everytime I clean my oven its the same frustration nothing works!!! I have tried almost everything under the sun bar the Shelley's 30 min one because if I do it'll take off the paint.  Tried what feels like a million different cleaners (ok not that many on the market but you get what I mean) over the years including the vinegar and ammonia method. Every spray known to man and then today oven power with zero success.  Someone shoot me please!!! Cleaned it twice already and does nothing. GRRRR I wish I could just buy a new one every 6 months 🙂 Now there's an idea! lol  Ok vent over!

Years of built up residue inside the oven adds to the flavor

Of future cooking

Thats my excuse and I'm sticking to it 🙂

Like gunk on an oven

BANG!!!!

Just put you out of your misery lol

Not aimed at you stawks

Excuse the pun

In the last 10 years I've only used the oven once to rooast a leg of lamb and I put it in a oven bag. Wiped the oven out after use.

Any other time I use the oven it's to oven bake chips or to keep food warm.

I don't want to dirty my nice new oven.

Don't think I'd have a leg to stand on there, Helen

I hate to say it, but it sounds like all you spent on cleaners combined with your time, you might have bought a new oven. I had a friend years ago who used a foaming oven cleaner to clean engines before painting them. He bought and sold cars and would spruce them up to the point of making the engine and engine compartment look new and clean. He said it worked better than any engine cleaner. I don't remember what it was called, only that it came from Big Lots (odd lots at the time) and my mom swore by it for cleaning her oven. I do know to stunk, smelled very toxic, couldn't hardly breathe around the stuff being used.

The stove we bought when we built this house had a lovely set of porcelain-coated grates for the stove top.........unfortunately, they were grey, so every bit of cooking detritus stuck to them, and unless immediately cleaned, burned on.  We found that spraying them with oven cleaner, and placing them out in the sun in a black plastic bag for hours was the most efficacious way of cleaning them.

And, like Joanie mentioned, that was also the way to go with cleaning engines and other things automotive, it's not very pleasant trying to replace a freeze-plug on the block of an engine covered in 15 years worth of oil and grime.
