Oh god, another chore I haven’t done in a couple of months.
monthsyearsmonthsyearseverI made beef jerky in the oven one time 8 years ago and the evaporated Worcestershire sauce turned into an enamel that cannot be removed by any household cleaner unless I step it up to something that’d dissolve the metal of the oven itself. It’s permanent as far as I’m concerned. It looks like grease but you can’t even scrape it off it’s beyond Gorilla Glass in hardness.
Jerryrigeverything enters the chat with his Mohs hardness picks. Finds it scratches around an 8 with visible grooves around a 9.
You should patent it and sell the recipe to Nasa as a replacement for the heath shield.
Have you asked a professional service about it? They might be able to do it
Likely someone could but idk if I want to pay it’s a 17 year old Samsung now* 😅
You guys clean?
If I didn’t clean my family digs would look even worse than it did now.
Leave it on long enough and it’ll burn itself off. /hj
No one likes a show off
Cool. Can you do mine next?
Sooner or later when ai has taken my job my cleaning services will be available
If Im not broke I’ll pay you a living wage.
Otherwise I’ll make do with a non-livable wage ❤️
I’m joining the queue too
The grease seasons the food, I refuse to clean my oven 🗿🗿
This is what my mates who work in the kitchen tell me as well. The gunnk is part of the recipe it seems.
That is a pro tip right there!
Haven’t done that in ages. You see, the way it works with adhd is that I use the oven and when it’s hot and I’m inserting the food, I’m reminded that I’ll need to clean it. After eating the oven is too hot to clean and by the time it’s again at room temperature I have forgotten the thing even exists.
Could you put a brightly coloured post-it on the oven, so you’ll notice it next time you’re in the kitchen?
if the op is anything like me, they’ll absolutely despise that note every time they see it
Yes, that’s how it works. Then you channel that hatred into cleaning the oven, even though you don’t really want to.
That looks great! Any pointers?
Thanks! I used this thing (don’t know what it is in English) with a tiny bit of water and let it soak overnight. Also there was a little bucket with water in the oven to avoid the soap mixture drying out. Used a rough sponge and gloves due to the high pH of the soap.
The link doesn’t work from Canada at least. Thank you VPN.
It seems like it’s a brown soap, potassium based pH around 11, maybe even higher??Yep that’s right!
>30% sæbe (Potassium Soap), Aqua, Potassium Carbonate, Potassium hydroxide, Potassium Silicate, Potassium Chloride.
You’ve got Rema 1000 in Denmark? Feels so weird that Norway can export anything but fish, oil and fish oil. Do they have Norwegian stuff there, like brown cheese?
Yeah! They have the brown cheese sometimes, not sure what other Norwegian products they have though.
Lefse, nøkkelost, beer from Kinn, fenalår. Any of those should give you a good day. 😁
Ah I see! I think I might have had Lefse with rakfisk haha but haven’t tried the other… Yet!
Fuck yeah you did, good job
I read this in the TF2 Heavy’s voice
Thanks heaps!!
The grease is part of my oven right now. If i clean it, there will be no oven just a hollow shell.
What did you use? Because I feel like I have an infinite layer of grease in mine.
Something called krystalsæbe in Danish - kinda equivalent to brown soap. In addition, let it soak for 24 h
Thanks man! I’ll try to find it.
What did you use??
The worst houshold chore. So irritating and time consuming. Then I bought a ‘self cleaning’ oven. A life changer.
Be careful with those if you have birds in the household!
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1455609/What the.
Birds have incredibly efficient lungs, which makes them incredibly sensitive lungs at the same time.
Another danger of a similar kind is teflon or similarly coated things heating up. For humans it might be about as bad as flu-like symptoms, with our glorified air balloons of a set of lungs, but in birds it shreds the lungs from the inside
Yeah this always bothered me. If it can kill birds is it really OK for you? A coal miner wouldn’t approve of this. I can certainly smell it. I only do this every three years or so and always in the fall when I can leave the windows open for quite a few hours.
Does that actually work?
I had one of these, filthy when I moved in, so I tried the self-cleaning, pyroclastic cloud killer mode or whatever it’s called, and it gave off so much smoke I had to have all the windows open and disconnect the smoke detector and it still looked like shit afterwards.
All that bother and none of the benefits haha.
It can take several runs if it’s really bad. And you still need to wipe it out between runs. It can’t teleport grease, it can only burn it so you can wipe it off.
I almost always just wait for the house fire so I never have to deal with it
Is that code for something?
Yes, it means it’s safe to invade Florida or OP needs replacement binoculars. Depends on the context.
Why not just run the oven self cleaning cycle?
Hell yeah, that’s good shit man
How did it look before? What detergents did You use? I need to get my oven to a decent state like this.
One trick I learnt to get your over sparkly clean like this, is that you buy this product called “a new oven” then never use it.
Seriously I am not entirely convinced it’s possible to make an oven clean again after I’ve used it enough (other than pyroclastic self-cleaning ones, which still don’t get as clean as the OP when I do it).
Haha yeah I was surprised of the result as well! What really helped me was my 11-pH soap.
Which is exactly what I did. I bought a used oven with pyrolysis for 50 Euro and sold my old one for 20 the next day. They were about the same age, but the new one cleans itself now…
Found out the new one also has a built in. microwave, so I also sold my microwave for 10.
The new one must have been really expensive when it was new.
It was disgusting before haha. I honestly was surprised it became so clean, I should have taken a “before” photo.
