Cleaning an oven doesn’t have to be a daunting task. Nana’s trick uses just a dishwashing pod, a heatproof casserole dish, and water. By preheating the oven to 200°F (93°C) and steaming the pod in water for an hour, baked-on grease and grime loosen naturally, making the oven easier to wipe clean.
For stubborn spots, a soft brush or a repeat session works well. This method avoids harsh chemicals, is family-safe, and regular monthly use prevents buildup, improves cooking quality, and reduces fire risks. It’s also energy-efficient, turning the oven’s heat into a cleaning tool.
Nana’s approach proves that simple solutions can be highly effective. Using this gentle method, you save time, protect your hands, and achieve a sparkling oven in under 90 minutes—keeping your kitchen safe and clean with minimal effort.
