Trick to clean the oven

Here’s a step-by-step instruction for steam cleaning your oven.
Step 1: Gather your materials.
Water: The most important component! Tap water works fine.
A heatproof dish: A big, oven-safe dish or baking pan that can accommodate water.
Vinegar is optional: Add a cup of vinegar to the water to increase its grease-cutting efficacy.
A soft cloth or sponge: To remove filth once the steam has done its work.
Optional: A spatula or scraper. A soft scraping can help release even the most tenacious areas.

Step 2: Preheat the oven.
Begin by preheating your oven to approximately 400°F (200°C). The goal is to produce a heated atmosphere in which the water can be converted into steam effectively.

Step 3: Prepare the water dish.
Fill your heatproof dish or baking pan with a couple of inches of water. If you have a really oily oven, consider adding a cup of vinegar to the water. Vinegar is a natural degreaser that will increase the cleaning power of steam.

Step 4: Place the dish into the oven.
For illustrative purpose only
After the oven has warmed, set the dish of water on one of the middle racks. Make sure it’s firmly positioned to prevent spills. Close the oven door and let the water to steam for 20-30 minutes.

Step 5: Allow Steam to Work Its Magic.
During this period, steam circulates around the oven, softening any baked-on food, oil, or filth. The heat and moisture combine to loosen even the toughest debris, making it simpler to wipe away.
