Introduction
Burned oil in the oven can leave an unpleasant smell and potentially even lead to smoke and a sticky residue. If you've encountered this common kitchen issue, don’t fret! This article will guide you through a no-fuss, efficient way to eliminate the burned oil, restoring your oven to its fresh state with minimal effort.
Ingredients
White vinegar or lemon juice
Baking soda
Water
Dish soap
A clean towel or cloth
Preparation
Prepare the Cleaning Solution: Mix equal parts of white vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Alternatively, you can use lemon juice for a fresh citrus scent.
Sprinkle Baking Soda: Open the oven door and sprinkle a generous amount of baking soda on any spots that have burned oil stains.
Spray the Solution: Mist the vinegar-water mixture onto the baking soda until it forms a paste. Let it sit for about 15-20 minutes to loosen the grime.
Wipe Away the Grime: Using a damp cloth or towel, gently scrub the mixture off the oven walls, starting from the bottom and working your way up. For stubborn spots, a small amount of dish soap can help break down the grease.
Serving and Storage Tips
Always make sure to dry the oven surfaces completely with a clean towel after cleaning.
To keep the oven smelling fresh, consider placing a bowl of water with a few drops of your favorite essential oil inside and running the oven at a low temperature for a few minutes.
