    I made beef jerky in the oven one time 8 years ago and the evaporated Worcestershire sauce turned into an enamel that cannot be removed by any household cleaner unless I step it up to something that'd dissolve the metal of the oven itself. It's permanent as far as I'm concerned. It looks like grease but you can't even scrape it off it's beyond Gorilla Glass in hardness.

    Thanks! I used this thing (don't know what it is in English) with a tiny bit of water and let it soak overnight. Also there was a little bucket with water in the oven to avoid the soap mixture drying out. Used a rough sponge and gloves due to the high pH of the soap.

    You've got Rema 1000 in Denmark? Feels so weird that Norway can export anything but fish, oil and fish oil. Do they have Norwegian stuff there, like brown cheese?

    Yeah! They have the brown cheese sometimes, not sure what other Norwegian products they have though.

    The link doesn't work from Canada at least. Thank you VPN.
    It seems like it's a brown soap, potassium based pH around 11, maybe even higher??

    One trick I learnt to get your over sparkly clean like this, is that you buy this product called "a new oven" then never use it.

    Seriously I am not entirely convinced it's possible to make an oven clean again after I've used it enough (other than pyroclastic self-cleaning ones, which still don't get as clean as the OP when I do it).

    Which is exactly what I did. I bought a used oven with pyrolysis for 50 Euro and sold my old one for 20 the next day. They were about the same age, but the new one cleans itself now...

    Found out the new one also has a built in. microwave, so I also sold my microwave for 10.

    The new one must have been really expensive when it was new.

    Haven't done that in ages. You see, the way it works with adhd is that I use the oven and when it's hot and I'm inserting the food, I'm reminded that I'll need to clean it. After eating the oven is too hot to clean and by the time it's again at room temperature I have forgotten the thing even exists.

    Could you put a brightly coloured post-it on the oven, so you'll notice it next time you're in the kitchen?

  • The grease is part of my oven right now. If i clean it, there will be no oven just a hollow shell.

    You just reminded me that I ran the cleaning cycle and didn't wipe it up afterwards. It's been 3 days. Thank you and curse ADHD.

    The worst houshold chore. So irritating and time consuming. Then I bought a 'self cleaning' oven. A life changer.

    Be careful with those if you have birds in the household!

  • Yeah this always bothered me. If it can kill birds is it really OK for you? A coal miner wouldn't approve of this. I can certainly smell it. I only do this every three years or so and always in the fall when I can leave the windows open for quite a few hours.

    I had one of these, filthy when I moved in, so I tried the self-cleaning, pyroclastic cloud killer mode or whatever it's called, and it gave off so much smoke I had to have all the windows open and disconnect the smoke detector and it still looked like shit afterwards.

    You keep linking to the photo of this post which doesn't show the process.

    I read all your posts here and no process. You mentioned some chemicals and 11ph soap.

    Edit: found the process post. You used a special soap and let it soak overnight.

    Oh damn!Happy you managed to find the original comment :)

    I clicked "share" on the comment menu, figured that would result in the comment, not the post, being linked. Especially since the URL literally contains /comment/ as part of the path.

    That looks fantastic!

    When I was growing up, we used to line the bottom of the oven with aluminum foil. I always hated it because it never seemed to lay flat and got crinkly. A year or so ago, a friend of mine turned me on to these fiberglass* oven liners, and so far I love it! [nb: I originally put asbestos instead of fiberglass and I don't know where my mind was when I typed that! Sorry for any confusion.]

    There are two things to pay attention to. If you get one, check where to put them; it varies between types of ovens. And it's only temperature-safe to 500°, so check what temperature your oven's broiler is.

    The same company also makes silicone oven rack guards - little silicone rods that you can put on the front edge of your oven racks and prevent you from burning yourself. Those are only safe to 446°, though. I taped a note to my oven temperature settings, reminding me to remove them if I ever went higher; and to remove both of I ever used the self-cleaning function. Fortunately, I haven't needed to since :)

    I had a heart attack reading that 😭

    I clicked their link, and it's apparently BPA & PFOA free. aramis87 might be a little old-fashioned. 🤣

    That is a sparkly oven well done!

    I keep a desktop convection/airfrying oven next to the real oven. Every 2-3 years I recycle it and get a new one.

    Big ovens are a fucking nightmare to clean :)
