Saw this hack for oven cleaning and I won’t do anything else again

Start by preheating your oven to around 400°F (200°C). The idea is to create a hot environment to turn the water into steam efficiently.

Step 3: Prepare the Water Dish

Fill your heatproof dish or baking pan with about an inch or two of water. If you’re dealing with a particularly greasy oven, consider adding a cup of vinegar to the water. Vinegar is a natural degreaser and will enhance the cleaning power of the steam.

Step 4: Place the Dish in the Oven

Once the oven has preheated, place the dish of water on one of the middle racks. Make sure it’s securely positioned so it doesn’t spill. Close the oven door and let the water steam for 20 to 30 minutes.

Step 5: Let the Steam Work Its Magic

During this time, the steam will circulate throughout the oven, softening any baked-on food, grease, and grime. The heat and moisture work together to loosen even the most stubborn debris, making it easier to wipe away.

Step 6: Turn Off the Oven and Cool Slightly

After 20 to 30 minutes, turn off the oven and carefully open the door. Allow the oven to cool just enough so it’s safe to handle. You don’t want to burn yourself, but you also don’t want the oven to get too cool before you start wiping it down.

Step 7: Wipe Down the Interior

With a soft cloth or sponge, start wiping down the interior of the oven. You’ll notice that the grime comes off easily without the need for vigorous scrubbing. If there are any tough spots left, you can use a spatula or scraper to gently remove them. For really stubborn areas, dip your cloth in the leftover warm vinegar water for some extra cleaning power.

Step 8: Admire Your Clean Oven

Once you’ve wiped down the interior, your oven should look as good as new. The best part? You’ve just cleaned your oven without exposing yourself to toxic chemicals, and it probably took you half the time as traditional methods!
