Cleaning your oven can be a tedious job, but once it’s all done it an be incredibly satisfying. The only issue is, ovens are used nearly every day and can get dirty again very quickly which can make it seem as though all your hard work has been wasted.
Keeping on top of cleaning and taking a few small steps to keep your oven as clean as possible can help make that big clean worth it and have your oven looking shiny and new all the time.
Consider a small clean every time you use your oven. Wiping down any crumbs and residue after each use of the oven can prevent build-up and therefore keep your oven cleaner for longer.
You may wish to invest in silicone or oven-safe mats to put in the bottom of your oven. These collect crumbs and spills and can easily be removed and wiped down. This makes cleanup easier and prevents the actual oven itself from getting messy.
If you don’t want to purchase liners, another way you can do this is by placing a spare oven tray on the bottom of the oven or on the shelf underneath whatever you are cooking.
Roasting bags are another great option. They encase the food you are cooking to prevent splashes and spills and also help you cut down on washing up as.
You may also want to consider investing in professional oven cleaning every 6-12 months. Professionals will do the best job possible and leave your oven spotless which can make upkeep and maintenance much easier.
This also allows you to worry less about cleaning as you can employ someone who knows how to do it properly to take care of the mess instead of tackling it yourself.
