What You’ll Need:
- A bathtub or large plastic tub
- Hot water
- 1 dishwasher tablet
Simple Steps:
- Remove the Racks:
- Ensure your oven is off and cool. Carefully take out the oven racks and move them to your cleaning area.
- Prepare the Tub:
- Place the racks in a bathtub or large plastic tub. The tub should be large enough to fully submerge the racks.
- Submerge in Hot Water:
- Fill the tub with hot water, covering the racks completely. The hotter the water, the better the cleaning.
- Add the Dishwasher Tablet:
- Drop a dishwasher tablet into the water. This common household item does wonders on baked-on grime.
- Soak Overnight:
- Let the racks soak overnight. The dishwasher tablet will break down the grime, requiring no scrubbing from you.
- Rinse and Dry:
- The next morning, rinse the racks thoroughly. The grime should slide off easily. Dry with a clean towel and reinstall in your oven.
This simple trick leaves your oven racks sparkling clean with almost no effort. Give it a try and enjoy a spotless kitchen!
