When it comes to cleaning, ovens appear to be the most difficult of all kitchen appliances. So, what is the best method for cleaning an oven? Let's look into it.
Raise your hand if you wish you could have a magical oven cleaner to scrub down your food after each bake? You'd definitely have a lot more time on your hands.
Ovens, more than the stovetop or microwave, are the most difficult appliances to clean. It's not surprising, given that the grime is literally baked on every time you turn on your oven.
If you get a shiver every time you open the oven door, these five simple oven cleaning tips will save your sanity.

Are you stumped as to how to clean your oven racks? Before going to the bathroom, gather an old towel, an old toothbrush, 1 cup of washing powder, and your filthy oven racks. To protect the towel from scratches, place it in the bottom of the bath and stack your dirty racks on top of it.
Insert the drain plug and fill the bath with hot water to cover the racks. Sprinkle the powder evenly over the racks and mix it in with the water. Allow it to soak overnight before scrubbing and rinsing the oven racks with an old toothbrush. It's as good as new!
