Cleaning the oven doesn’t have to be exhausting — Nana’s simple trick makes it easy and chemical-free. All you need is “a dishwashing pod, a heatproof casserole dish, and water.”
Preheat the oven to 200°F (93°C), fill the dish with water, add the pod, and place it on the middle rack. Let it steam for about an hour — “the combination of heat and the pod’s enzymes loosens baked-on grease and grime.” Afterward, allow the oven to cool slightly and wipe it down with a damp cloth.
Even tough spots usually lift easily, but “a soft brush or a repeat session can help.” The method avoids toxic fumes, making it safe for families.
Using it monthly helps “prevent grease buildup, improve cooking quality, and reduce fire risks.” It’s also energy-efficient and requires only common household items.
Nana’s trick shows that “sometimes the simplest solutions are the most effective.” In under 90 minutes, you’ll have a sparkling oven, cleaner air, and stress-free results.
