Remaining of food, fat, burned in: cleaning the oven is not an easy task. Fortunately, there are some tricks that save us the annoying scrubbing with aggressive cleaning agents.
Fat and burnt -in without scrubbing and cleaning without chemistry
Cleaning is uncomplicated. Plan for about an hour - 5 minutes of preparation, about 30 to 45 minutes of waiting time and 10 minutes to wipe it. You need a heat -resistant pot (but can also use an aluminum baking pan), water and - depending on how dirty the oven is - another home remedy. First we explain how you can only clean the device inside with water vapor and then give you several ideas about what you can add toRemove stubborn dirt.
1. Fill 1 liter of lukewarm water into a heat -resistant baking dish or a baking pan. If the oven is heavily dirty, you can also add an addition to the water to loosen the burned -off. We will tell you which home remedies are particularly suitable in the article below.
2. Preheat the oven to 200 ° Celsius and leave the baking dish with a circulating air for about 30 minutes. In the case of stubborn dirt, you can leave the baking dish for 45 minutes and refill hot water if necessary.
3. Take out the baking dish and let the oven cool down for about 20 minutes.
4. Wipe the cooled oven with a dry and clean cloth.
If dirt remains left after this first cleaning, you can repeat the process and put a home remedy in the water. Take your time. As a rule of thumb - a longer exposure time can then save you a lot of effort when cleaning.
NB: Always carefully read the instructions for use and follow the manufacturer's care instructions for cleaning. In case of doubt, you can first test the effect of the home remedy on a small area or simply try less water first.
Clean the oven inside: water vapor and vinegar essence against the burned -in
If you want to get the oven clean on the inside, you can put some vinegar essence into the water. Heat the oven to 150 ° without circulating air and put the baking dish on the oven floor. Leave the baking dish with water and vinegar essence at 150 ° Celsius. Then turn off the oven and let it cool down, and wipe them off with a soft kitchen sponge. With particularly stubborn dirt, give some washing -up remedies and vinegar essence on a damp kitchen sponge and rub in the dirty areas. Then wipe the oven with a damp and clean cloth and let the oven ventilate well.
Loosen incrustations in the oven with salt
With stubborn crusts, you can first wipe the oven with a damp sponge, then sprinkle with salt. Then fill the baking dish with 50 ml of boiling water and let it take effect for about 30 minutes at 60 ° Celsius without a fermentation air. Then remove the baking dish and continue to heat the salt for 20 minutes. Then simply wipe the salt together with the dirt.
Lemon juice against fat
Incidentally, you can solve fat wellBy adding some freshly squeezed lemon juice and 1/3 teaspoon of detergent. Then preheat the oven to 150 ° Celsius without the air and place the baking dish on the bottom rail of the oven. Let it take effect for about 40 minutes, then switch off and remove the baking dish. Moisten a soft kitchen sponge and wipe the oven. Let the oven ventilate well.
By the way, you can use freshly pressed vinegar water instead of vinegar.
How often should you clean the oven with water vapor?
If you only use water vapor, you can clean the oven every week. You can also add vinegar essence to the water once a month. With salt you only clean them if necessary - if the oven is heavily dirty and you cannot clean the fat splashes with other home remedies.
Otherwise, it applies - let the oven cool down after each use and wipe them off with a damp and clean cloth and let it air. Loosen a little soda in the water once a week and thus remove fat splashes.
