Your oven works hard to cook delicious meals, but over time, grease, grime, and burnt-on food can accumulate, making it less efficient and potentially a health hazard. Regular cleaning is essential to maintain its performance and prolong its lifespan. In this article, we’ll address common questions about keeping your oven clean and offer practical tips to make the task simpler.

 

Why Is It Important to Keep Your Oven Clean
A clean oven helps to:

1. Cook food more evenly by ensuring consistent heat distribution

2.Prevent unpleasant odours caused by burnt food residue.

3. Reduce fire hazards from grease buildup.

4. Save energy since a dirty oven requires more power to heat.

 

How Often Should You Clean Your Oven?

If you use your oven lightly, aim for a clean every 3 to 6 months. For those who frequently bake or roast, a monthly clean is recommended. Additionally, be sure to spot-clean any spills immediately to prevent them from hardening and becoming difficult to remove.

What’s the Easiest Way to Keep an Oven Clean?

To make cleaning easier, consider these tips:

1. Use reusable or disposable oven liners at the bottom to catch drips and crumbs.

2. Cover your food with lids or aluminium foil to prevent splatters during cooking.

3. After the oven cools, wipe it down with a damp cloth to remove any fresh spills.

Can I Use Natural Ingredients to Clean My Oven?

Natural cleaning solutions can be both effective and eco-friendly:

•  Create a baking soda paste by mixing baking soda with water. Apply it to the oven’s interior, let it sit overnight, and then wipe it clean.
•  For added cleaning power, spray vinegar over the baking soda pastes and wipe with a damp cloth.
•  To loosen grime, place a heatproof bowl with water and lemon slices in the oven at 120°C (250°F) for about 20 to 30 minutes. The steam will make wiping easier.
