Cleaning my oven on my day off
Cleaning my oven on my day off
I don't use my oven much, but every year I clean it. Boy, does this job blow. First, you spray that toxic cleaner that makes you gag and weez and then you spend a half an hour on your knees reaching into the oven to clean the thick brown sludge out.
It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think that you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt

Yeh, but after the gag and weez, the brown gluey sludge and mountain of rancid kitchen roll comes the high, perhaps off the clean oven? But I've always suspected there's somet upper behind all that lemony zing. Perhaps we're on to something here. Should we cut it down into foil packs and head for town? It's Saturday night after all.
oh I just dunno where to begin

When I finished uni every year, me and my pal used to have a massive clean of the kitchen before we left our accomodation (so we didn't get deposit deducted from)...and it always took the best part of a day, even though we usually had a really clean kitchen. No, seriously...clean student digs!
I reccomend those wirey brushes to clean the oven, as long as you're not worried about scratches...

Ice - just a suggestion why dont you give it a wipe over each time you do use it? That way you wouldnt have a mammouth job yearly and the fat doesnt get baked on like concrete!
Another neat tip to save cleaning is to line your grill pan and the top of your hob and the bottom of your oven with silver foil (dunno what you call it over there but its the foil you cook your chicken etc in). Just cut out holes for the electric/gas rings. Then all you have to do when it gets mucky is throw it away! Also saves on the cooking bills as it reflects the heat and things cook quicker.
Now im going to shut the **** up and stop boring you with all this useless drivvel!!

Thanks for the household tips everyone. I have tried covering the burners with aluminum foil before, Gilli, but it's so much effort to cut the foil and wrap the foil around the burners.

Well, it looks as though I'll be cleaning my ENTIRE kitchen from top to bottom since I dropped 15 lbs. of dog food all over it. That's what happens when you have 2 hungry bucking bronco dogs at your feet and one complaining hungry cat at 7am AND the dog food bin is on a shelf way up over your head.
Any tips for getting rid of dog food dust?
