Many people resort to commercial oven cleaners, which can be effective but often contain harsh chemicals that are unpleasant to use and can linger long after cleaning. Others may spend hours scrubbing with baking soda and vinegar, only to find that the grease remains. This struggle is why finding an easy, effective method is so essential.
2. The Magic Ingredient: What You’ll Need
The magic ingredient in Nana’s hack is something you likely already have in your kitchen cupboard: dish soap. Specifically, a concentrated dish soap known for its grease-cutting abilities. You’ll only need a small amount, about two tablespoons.
In addition to dish soap, you’ll need a spray bottle filled with warm water and a clean sponge or cloth. That’s it! With just these simple items, you’re ready to tackle even the most stubborn grease in your oven.
3. Setting the Stage: Preparing Your Oven
Before you begin, make sure your oven is completely cool to avoid any risk of burns. Remove any oven racks and other items inside to ensure you have full access to the interior surfaces.
