For the first time in 4 years...I have cleaned my oven.

[Yavin4]

I am extremely proud of myself. It's my greatest accomplishment of 2023.

1. Well done, won't need it again till 2027!

2. I'm glad I'm not alone on that one.

3. I have a little plaque hanging on the door handle of my closet just when you walk into

my apartment: "you can touch the dust but please don't write in it". I get you!

[a kennedy]

16. That's almost my line...if ya don't touch the dust, no one knows how deep it really is......

[applegrove]

18. Ha!

5. I'm not sure I've ever cleaned an oven.

Honestly, we’ve moved every 3 years since we were married in 1989. I can’t remember ever cleaning one. I’ve just moved!😂😂

Do you have a self cleaner. I only cleaned my oven once. Used Easy Off.or something. Did not wear gloves. Some splattered on my sweatshirt and melted a hole in the shirt. Material melted on to my arm. Never used again. But it was my fault.

12. I used Easy Off. I wore industry gloves.

It left a chalky residue in some spots. I need to get some vinegar to clean that up.

7. Make your next purchase

a self-cleaning model.

Congrats!

8. yes, and they're much more energy efficient too. the outside of the oven compartment is really

packed full of insulation to help hold the heat in during the clean cycle. But also when baking makes it much more efficient.

9. How did you do it?

Inquiring minds like to know!

13. Easy Off Heavy Duty Cleaner.

It did leave a residue in spots.

10. You need to clean an oven?

I thought you only needed to do that if they caught on fire. Learn something new every day on DU.

11. I *relate* - to a *lot* of what you say!

14. Without pictures..

17. The layer of grease cake at the bottom of my oven was making me nervous. n/t
