Here’s a step-by-step instruction for steam cleaning your oven.
Step 1: Gather your materials.
Water: The most important component! Tap water works fine.
A heatproof dish: A big, oven-safe dish or baking pan that can accommodate water.
Vinegar is optional: Add a cup of vinegar to the water to increase its grease-cutting efficacy.
A soft cloth or sponge: To remove filth once the steam has done its work.
Optional: A spatula or scraper. A soft scraping can help release even the most tenacious areas.
Step 2: Preheat the oven.
Begin by preheating your oven to approximately 400°F (200°C). The goal is to produce a heated atmosphere in which the water can be converted into steam effectively.
Step 3: Prepare the water dish.
Fill your heatproof dish or baking pan with a couple of inches of water. If you have a really oily oven, consider adding a cup of vinegar to the water. Vinegar is a natural degreaser that will increase the cleaning power of steam.
Step 4: Place the dish into the oven.
