Removing burnt fat

[Dan C]

Oven cleaner and elbow grease. Duh.

If it's a tick layer of burned fat I would firts sprinkle with vinegar, let soak, then scrape with a plastic blade and wipe off.

You may need a second pass, which is a (warm) breeze if it's a self-cleaning oven, more of a chore with nasty chemicals if not.

Y'know (seriously) It might just be that oven cleaner isn't well known and easily available in Poland.

Oven cleaner?

Hi,

Does anybody know an easy and effective method for removing burnt fat from inside the oven?

Kind regards, Peter

[PaPaPeng]

Go to a mechanics shop where they have those soapless hand cleaners. Use that stuff to soak the fat residue for a few minutes then scrub. Repeat.

An old method of oven cleaning was to place a saucer or pan of ammonia in the oven when the oven is warm but turned off. Let it sit overnight. Should clean off easily the next morning.

A very strong solution of lye, also known as caustic soda or sodium hydroxide, and a coarse pad of steel wool or a plastic scrub brush (don't use natural bristles). You shouldn't have to scrub very hard. Wear rubber gloves. Let the lye soak in a little before you scrub it. HTH :-)
