What is the best way to clean a oven?
Before you start cleaning, be sure which type of oven you have: conventional, continuous or self cleaning oven. Each type has its own unique cleaning and maintenance procedures. See www.oven-cleaning-guide.com. This answer is for conventional oven only! Oven cleaners can be divided into two main groups, those that work and those that don’t! Alkaline and thick oven cleaners are usually in the group that works! (these are mostly commercial oven cleaners). But it’s not just the oven cleaner you use that counts (I’m using WellDone oven cleaner), the cleaning procedure is also very important: If the oven is heavily soiled, you may need to use aggressive means such as powerful oven cleaner (alkaline), Schoch-Brite pad, plastic scrapper, Paper-towel, two pieces of cloth and heating up the oven to 50c/120f. Then go to www.oven-cleaning-guide.com, choose “conventional oven” and follow the cleaning procedure mentioned there. Good luck!
