Does anybody know most effective way and easiest way to clean a oven?

Answer 1

there are many easy ways to clean an oven, go buy some top of the line oven cleaner. not the generic stuff.
Follow the directions, and you will be sitting pretty.....
or this is what I do...
turn the oven on 400 degrees, just long enough to get it warm, open the door, and start scrubbing with a scrub pad, remember the oven will be hot, so wear some gloves or something. the heat will melt any crusties you may have in there, and make it easier to get them off......

We've moved several times and this is the best way to clean that nasty oven. Take all your racks, coils and dials and put in an extra heavy trash bag. Take this bag outside and pour one or two bottles of Ammonia in the bag. Seal that bag tight, many have those ties or draw strings. Keep outside for at least 24 hours, or over night. Our HEB store or Super Walmart carries a new version of Easy Off, and it does not stink. Spray the entire oven, with a thick layer of foam. Close your door and the next day just take damp rags and clean it up. It really is EASY. Or, you can take a bottle of Ammonia and put the entire bottle in a large pan, close your oven door and leave for at least 24 hours. The fumes will eat the grease right off. DON'T TURN THE OVEN ON!!!! Now, back to the trash bag with your oven racks and etc. slit the bag wide open, (outside of course) and take your water hose on full strength and spray it down. The baked on grease will fall off. If by chance the racks aren't completely clean, just use a little elbow grease. I've never had to use any elbow grease and my oven racks and oven always look brand new after this treatment.

My mom told me about this when I moved out of my last apartment. Don't try to clean the whole thing at once. First do the least accessible part, probably the back and then the top. Tehn the sides. Finally, to the floor of the oven. If you do this, you won't have to be totally surrounded with bad fumes and drippy harsh chemicals. And the actual cleaning seems easier in smaller doses. Leave the oven cleaner on longe enough to let it dissolve the baked-on stuff.

Her other tip: use a few sponges, not just one. Keep a bowl of water with you so you don't have to keep going to the sink.

Answer 4

when you have spatters/ drips in the oven sprinkle them with salt to reduce smoking and easier cleanup when you can get to it.


take out all racks and broiling pans and wash them in the sink with dish washing soap and a non abrasive scrubber. you don't want to damage the coating on any racks, boiler pans, or the oven interior


make sure the oven is completely cooled then put 1/2 of full strength ammonia in a glass bowl and let it stand over night. the fumes will release the bond between crusty food and the oven interior. the next day open the door, let the fumes dissipate, remove the bowl, and wipe away loosened food with a clean cloth or sponge

to remove stubborn food that didn't come off after the above treatment, try scouring with a nonabrasive scrubber dipped in a solution of warm water and dish washing liquid.

if none of these work then i would try a professional oven cleaner using rubber gloves

Answer 5

The easiest method that I know is to put a cup of ammonia in a glass pan overnight in the oven. It help to loosen the grease and all you need is a scouring pad to help clean the oven. This is the way I clean my oven.
