    OVEN MATE is excellent, or if you can afford it try franchise company OVENCLEAN, who claim to clean your oven for a set charge, no matter how long job takes.

    If you are a member at Costco, then you can buy a pack of two OVEN MATE cheaper that Lakeland, Kleeneze.
  • What you'll need:
    - spray bottle filled with water
    - biocarbonate soda
    - tub big enough to fit wire racks (can be bathtub or sink but if so line with an old bathtowel first to avoid scratching)
    - Bio laundry crystals

    Here's what you do:
    1. remove racks and pan from oven and let soak in that tub with warm water and laundry crystal solution
    2. open oven door and sprinkle oven floor and oven door with a thick layer of biocarbonate soda - be careful not to get any of the soda in the vent at the top of the oven door.
    3. using the water bottle spray the biocarbonate soda so that it gets saturated (but not runny). Let that sit for while; half hour - hour. Longer the better.
    4. Wipe up biocarbonate soda with a damp sponge and put a little elbow grease into areas that are being difficult.
    5. go back to the wire racks and with a scouring pad just give them a good clean and rinse well with warm water.
    Okay, this way is a bit messy, but it's really cheap and I much prefer it over commercial oven cleaners because they smell so toxic. I like the biocarbonate solution because it also deoderizes the oven too.

    One word of warning - if you have a wood worktop or floor take care not to drip the biocarbonate soda/water mix on it. It can stain the wood.
  • Not much of a tip, more cheating. Try using an oven cleaning company like [FONT=&quot]SOC, they do :rotfl:[/FONT]

    I hate those single ovens with the grill in them. How do you grill your burgers and cook your oven chips at the same time?

    Double ovens for me, every time.

  • Your best bet is to get a professional in to clean you oven. That way, you won't damage anything.
