1 dishwashing liquid capsule (gel or solid, it doesn’t matter)
1 gratin dish or ovenproof pot
Tap water
A microfiber cloth or soft sponge
No need for gloves, caustic products or elbow grease: you can already breathe!
Simple steps for a perfect result:
Preheat the oven to 90-95°C (no higher!).
In the meantime, fill the tin with hot water and place in the bag.
When the oven is hot, place the tin on the middle shelf.
Close the door and leave it for 1 hour. Enjoy doing something else while you wait!
After an hour, turn off the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Be careful of the steam when you open the door.
Just wipe the inside with a damp cloth: the fat will melt away like magic!
That’s why this technique works every time
It’s like a sauna for your oven! The steam reaches every nook and cranny, even the hardest to reach, while the enzymes in the capsule dissolve built-up grease. The result: a clean interior, effortlessly, non-toxic and without hours of scrubbing.
Bonus tip for a consistently clean oven:
Stubborn stains? Repeat the steam cleaning or gently scrub with a soft brush.
Preventative measures: Repeat this little ritual once a month to prevent buildup.
Warning: Always check your oven’s instruction manual before using steam or cleaning products.
In short: Clean, simple, and stress-free.
No need to empty the cleaning aisle to get a sparkling clean oven. With a plate, some water, and a cleaning bag, you can get a clean appliance effortlessly. And honestly, it’s the kind of old-fashioned tip we love to share with friends.
The next time your oven malfunctions, you’ll know exactly what to do: a capsule, a cloud of steam… and a lot less stress.
