Bit odd that they would call it the same thing as brand of bread

No, that was Mother's Pride and I should know I was the Mother in Mother's Pride.

Ah thanks.  You can't leave us in suspense there -- were you on the adverts or label or something?

No, it was a quote from the adverts at the time, featuring a "little old lady" who used to say "I'm the Mother in Mother's pride".  I did work for a major company that manufactured the equipment that produced the bread and I was often called Mother - in a nice way (I like to believe!)

I recently tried Astonish Oven & Grill and was really pleased with the results on the bottom of my oven & glass doors. Nice orange smell, no fumes & no gloves needed. Still use oven pride for shelves though.

Many thanks both of you, I've used the Mr Muscle Oven Spray but aerosols tend to make me cough.

Put on the same mask you use when you go outside.

Whatever you do don't get the two mixed up.

Nah fairy liquid some water and those metal coil string scrubbers from Home Bargains or B&M I use them for loads of stuff quite the most useful cleaning invention ever since brillo pads they are like brillo pads on steroids clean windows with them, hardened grout off floor tiles, pots and cooking bowls with the hardest to remove crusts on em and the hardest of the hardest stains and marks come off with ease - forget chemicals and spending money just some graft and simple stuff works every time!

If I used a metal scourer on the inside of the oven it would be ruined.  I do grant you though they are lifesavers on other things.

I'm not sure what's worse, trying to eat the wrong one or trying to clean an oven with a loaf of bread...
