Ways to reduce dirty oven cleaning

Food cooked in ovens, grills, or barbeques has a way of splattering all over the place. Fortunately, here are some ways you can reduce that and consequently reduce the number of times you need to clean it:

  • Use aluminium foil or baking paper
  • Instead of using the baking or grill sheet, place the food in an oven dish
  • Finally, clean the oven right after cooking to prevent caking or burning on

As is said, prevention is better than cure, but if your efforts at keeping your oven, barbeque or grill clean fail, then its time to get an effective oven cleaner.

HG oven grill and barbeque cleaner instructions

Like any other cleaner fluid, you need to follow the instructions to get the best out of it, and this includes:

  1. Spraying the insides of the oven and letting it sit for 3-5 minutes. The interesting bit about HG is that it works best in warm temperatures, so you might want to heat the oven or barbeque to lukewarm to achieve that.
  2. After the wait time is up, wipe the HG off with a wet sponge till all the grease is gone.
  3. You’re not done yet. Clean the oven one more time, this time with hot water.
  4. If the oven barbeque or grill is extremely dirty, repeat the steps above until you get a squeaky-clean surface.
