Cleaning question - how to remove grease

[pupuce]

What a boring one... I cooked a roast a few days ago and then yorkshire puddings and there was a lot of oil which dripped onto (luckily) my oven baking tray.... but now I cannot get the grease off it and before I chuck it away (it is a fairly new one) I would like to know if anyone has a trick to remove very thick greassy patches on a baking tray.... PLEASE SAY THERE IS !

P.S. I did try re-heating teh oven to get the grease to melt.... it smelled very greassy in my kitchen but didn't seem to melt the dxxn thing !

I use oven cleaner to get off really stubbon patches.I spray it on the baking tray,leave the baking tray in the oven overnight and clean the next day.This usually works.HTH

Bizzare...I have exactly the same problem. Dp and I have been obsessed with trying to remove the stubborn patch of burnt-on grease from the bottom of our oven...tried EVERYTHING including Kleen Off (very caustic) and a very heavy duty scourer but it won't shift...so would be overjoyed if anyone has any tips!!!

'Kleeneze' Chip Pan Cleaner.

Excellent stuff - need very good gloves and best used outside in the open air as has a lot of ammonia in. Takes off even the really carbonised oil & grease - brilliant on barbecue grills.

...and no I am not an agent for them - just a happy customer

ooh, ooh, where do you get it from?

[wmf]

I swear by the Lakeland oven cleaner. You can get it from their shop or catalogue, which is also available online.

It's brilliant and even smells nice (but it works so well that it must be horribly caustic).

Isn't Kleeneze - the catalogue at your door people ???

[Snugs]

Yes, Kleeneze are the 'catalogue at your door' people. I have found their site which has an option to request a distributor to visit you - (hope link works!)

OK - technophobe giving up now and giving you the cut and paste option (figured out the faces tho!)

I agree with the Lakeland oven cleaner recommendation - it's fab. My oven is once again blue enamel inside with a light that actually lights up the oven. All it took was painting the stuff on then wiping it off three hours later. Followed by a wipe with a damp cloth, IIRC.

It's expensive though at 9.95 for a bottle. I used about half a bottle doing my oven (but it hadn't been done properly for, ooh, cringe to admit, three years).

A cheaper alternative grease remover is soda crystals. At 52p for a box they're worth giving a try.

I wish I hadn't read this post.It's just another reminder that I haven't cleaned the oven since ds was born, two and half years ago! Off to Lakeland tomorrow morning...BTW does anyone have an oven with a "self clean" system that works?

[pupuce]

Yes it works really well but it can smell and it takes some 2 hours... and heats up the oven big time.

Hey Pluto, you've still got another 6 months to go to beat me

Now I don't feel so bad at not touching the inside of my oven for 2.2 years!

There is a really useful website at www.howtocleananything.com which is, well, self explanatory really!
