My oven has never looked this good
« on: April 18, 2014, 12:43:54 am »
So I finally cleaned my oven after a couple of years being unsuccessful with detergent, bicarb, jif etc. Uni tried out the method first, and I promptly bought the cloudy ammonia. But it wasn't till yesterday that I got my act together and slipped on my kitchen gloves.

My oven door before cleaning



After the overnight sauna and some light scrubbing



My super dirty oven 😬


After major scrubbing


Took me one and half hour, and even then I couldn't get everything off. But still I'm happy 😄😃

Here's the link for the method http://www.onegoodthingbyjillee.com/2013/12/how-to-easily-clean-your-oven.html

That is a job well done.  You must be very chuffed with it  :)

What a great advert for that method. I'm not showing my oven, it is like your before photo.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

Lovely BZB. Seems a shame to cook in it and make it grimy again.

Mine too. Fortunately the manufacturer of my oven had the foresight to make the interior black, and if the glass door is any indication, just as well  ;D

I know what you mean. Caught myself having second thoughts about using the oven to make pizzas just now. Hahaha 😁

Suzanne, you can come over to clean mine when you're done with yours. Once every few months will do. We will have 2 happy bunnies that way 😝😆

Bought the ammonia this morning and cant wait to have a clean oven like that. A few years ago my daughter gave me a clean oven for mothers day; a man turned up in his little van and did all the work.
