Homemade Oven Cleaner

By TheresaJ

Baking soda is one of those ingredients that simply boggles my brain. After reading Baking Soda: Over 500 Fabulous, Fun, and Frugal Uses You’ve Probably Never Thought Of I was still boggled. So I went and cleaned my oven.

Ingredients

• Homemade Oven Cleaner Recipe:
• 1 . Make a thick paste by mixing 1 part baking soda to 3 parts hot water.
• 2 . Coat the oven surface with the paste, let sit overnight.
• 3 . Use a plastic spatula (metal will scratch) to remove your greasy oven grime.

Preparation

Step 1

Tip: Line your oven bottom with a spilmat oven liner to prevent future buildup. Be sure to wipe the oven clean after each splatter, spill, or bubble-over.
Cleaning Cost: The best deals on baking soda can be found at animal feed stores, where a 10kg bag sells for $0.50 cents per kilogram. Feed store baking soda is not food quality and is coarser than retail brands, but the price for cleaning cannot be beat when compared to grocery store brands selling for $5 per kilogram.
