Natural Ways to Clean Your Stove Top and Oven
By Clifford WoodsThe stove top and oven are two major grease spots in the kitchen that tend to be neglected, particularly the inside of the oven. Only natural ingredients will be discussed as chemical-based products are bad for your health as well as the environment. Also, if you would like to use a solution rather than household products, look into purchasing an organic all purpose cleaner with microorganisms as they will completely eliminate any bacteria without risk.
In order to clean them properly, take a look at the recommendations below.
Stove Tops:
Splatters and spots on the stove top can be quickly washed up if salt is applied to the area in advance. The salt will act as an absorbent and it also possesses a moderate coarse characteristic that will not damage the surface in any way. If you have leaked anything into your burners on your stove, spread a mixture of cinnamon and salt onto the spill and it will come off with ease.
The cinnamon will also cover up the burning odor next time you switch on the burner. Just about all stove tops, even ceramic glass types, can be maintained simply with a baking soda treatment. Use an old toothbrush placed in baking soda to be able to clean those tight crevices. Then rinse off everything completely in order to avoid leaving behind any white residue.
Ovens:
Oven cleaning is a bit more extensive than stove tops. There exists self-cleaning ovens which can simply be turned on; unfortunately not many people have this luxury though. If your oven does not have such a feature or your self-cleaning oven has malfunctioned, do not purchase a chemical-based oven clean from the store.
To wash the oven by hand, mix about a quarter inch layer of baking soda across the whole bottom part of the oven. Use a spray bottle filled with water to moisten the baking soda. During the next few hours, squirt the baking soda every now and then to maintain its dampness.
Next, let the baking soda paste sit over night.
When you wake up, scoop out the dried baking soda and grime out of your oven with a wet cloth or sponge. Rinse the remaining deposits off. Much like your kitchen's sink, the easiest method to deal with oven cleaning is by using preventive techniques. Checking up on the oil and grease a few times per week means that it will not be necessary to do a huge cleaning as often as you have done in the past.
Once you have carried out a major cleaning, complete the task by using a sponge to wipe the entire area with a paste made from a combination of fifty percent water and fifty percent vinegar. This will likely assist in preventing oil accumulation. Make sure to give the whole oven a quick wipe down once every week with a cloth or sponge drenched in vinegar.
An additional precautionary idea is to protect the lower part of your oven using aluminum foil whenever you are preparing food that could overflow such as an apple pie or possibly a lasagna dish. If anything does accidentally leak over the cookware and on to the un-shielded bottom of the oven, the moment it is safe and the oven is no longer hot, cover the spillage with salt and let it stand.
It will become tough and crispy enough for you to lift from the surface area of the cold oven with a plastic utensil or anything else that will not scrape the inside. For those who have vents above the oven, you need to be examining them every few months for grease accumulation. To wash, wipe down the vents with a sponge soaked in vinegar.
