    Eat salad and look at the lovely clean oven :)
    My oven messes usually arise when pizzas collapse and ooze between the bars of the shelves.

    Without hijacking your thread mumofthetwins, can I be nosey and ask what oven you've bought? And you too teddysmum?

    Our oven is playing up but I haven't a clue about what to buy. We've always bought second hand so I don't even know what is a reasonable price range. OH loves gadgets and brand names, so I need to start my research before he picks one!

    We have a Neff double oven and one really convenient feature is that the oven doors completely unclip and lift off so that A) You can clean them elsewhere and B). It allows you to more conveniently access the inside of the oven for cleaning.

    However we ve had ours for about 3 years now and have had to replace the oven lights twice. Also these can be a real blighter to replace and on one occasion we actually had to call a service guy out to get the old one out and fit a replacement because it had jammed in. Maybe we were unlucky but if you look at a Neff in a showroom put your hand inside and check the ease for yourself with which the light fittings unscrew.

    My oven is a self-cleaning one but I've noticed that it is starting to get a bit of a build up of greasy dribbles on the walls.
    Am I okay to give it a good scrub?
    I've never had one of these before and am not really sure what I'm doing with it.

    I have discovered that it seems to stay on for a while after I turn it off so does that mean it's cleaning itself? I've ruined a few meals by turning the oven off and not removing the food.
    Now I turn it off about five or ten minutes before I think I need to and leave the food inside, depending what it is. Not sure if that is the right thing to do or not.

    For anyone else with a self-cleaning oven, hope this helps. Why didn't I find this before???
