Removing burnt-on grease from oven trays can be a challenging task, especially if you’ve left them for a few days before washing. One cleaning product made the job much easier without scrubbing.
If you’re struggling with the task of cleaning kitchen grease, you’re certainly not alone – it can be a real challenge, particularly when dealing with stubborn, burnt-on grime. One item that I always find troublesome to clean is oven trays.
Regardless of how frequently you clean your oven, it’s advisable to clean your oven trays after each use. However, I don’t always manage to tackle them immediately after cooking.
In order to clean my oven trays, I’d typically just use washing-up liquid along with a standard sponge scourer or a Scrub Daddy. Regrettably, on this occasion, I had left it too long before cleaning, so that method wasn’t effective.
Having been impressed by the fantastic results I achieved using Elbow Grease’s Washing Up Spray on my greasy air fryer, I decided to put it to the test on my oven roasting tray.
Without any scrubbing at all, all the grease was wiped off with a sponge after 15 minutes of spraying the Elbow Grease Washing Up Spray.
The spray is engineered to have a quick-acting formula that slices through grime and grease in an instant, enabling you to rinse off residues effortlessly, thus significantly reducing cleaning time.
To put it to the test, I began by liberally spraying the oven tray, ensuring that the entire base was coated with the soapy liquid.
I then let the oven tray sit for 15 minutes to allow the degreasing spray to tackle the burnt-on bits.
When the time was up, I moistened a washing-up sponge scourer and, using the soft side, wiped the oven tray to see if the grease would lift. Without any exertion or scrubbing, the grease simply melted away and transferred onto the sponge.
I continued to wipe down the rest of the oven tray before rinsing it and washing it as usual with washing-up liquid.
If you’re on the hunt for a natural method to remove stubborn oven grease, baking soda is known to work wonders, although it can take a bit longer to yield satisfactory results. Unfortunately, I didn’t have any left in my kitchen cupboard to give it a go this time.
If you’re opting for baking soda, you’d first need to use a paper towel to wipe off as much of the grease as possible. Then, boil some water, pour it into your kitchen sink and add one cup of baking soda.
Soak the dirty tray for an hour or until the burnt spots have softened. Drain the dirty water, and with an old cloth, attempt to wipe away the stains.
