Fill a small glass bowl with 1/2 cup full strength ammonia, place in oven and close. Let stand overnight, then wipe loosened dirt with paper towels or newspapers. If then necessary, rub surfaces with a suitable abrasive, such as fine steel wool or soap-filled steel wool pad, wiping off "suds" with paper towels. Then wash with warm soapy water and rinse. Repeat the process if necessary.

Commercial oven cleaners are helpful if ovens are very soiled, but they should be used with caution. These cleaners can damage surfaces outside and around the oven. Be sure to protect these areas with layers of newspaper or other materials and cover your hands with protective gloves. If using most commercial oven cleaners, never spray in a hot oven (over 200 F.) which will make it even more caustic and can corrode surfaces. Never spray on oven light, electric elements, or pilot light in older gas ranges. Turn off the pilot light when using spray oven cleaners.

Removable parts, such as broiler pans and racks, can be cleaned more easily if allowed to soak in a sink or pan of sudsy water to which a little ammonia has been added. A lot of soaking is better for the surface, and easier, than a lot of scrubbing. Never soak aluminum in ammonia or other alkalis.

If necessary, you can scour oven racks or porcelain enamel with steel wool or a scouring pad to remove baked- on grease or food spills which have not come off in regular cleaning. Occasional use of such abrasive pads, or scouring powder on badly baked-on soil is OK, but don't use these too often or scrub too hard for you can scratch the smooth surface and make it harder to clean from then on. Do not scour mirror-finished metals, glass, or baked-on enamel.

all you have to do is grab and kitchen cleaner like ones 4 the floor or dish soap and scrub 4 about 10 minutes.

I recently had a glass top stove installed in my kitchen. The installer told me that if the stove top cleaner didn't remove the residue of baked on food, to use a window paint

remover tool. You can purchase one in any hardware store. It is a small cheap metal tool that you insert a razor blade into so that the blade makes a flat scrapper. It works like a charm. One day I realized that it could clean the toaster oven door, too. I simply wipe the door down with

water to soften things and then scrape and wipe again. It is fast and easy. Since I don't use anything but water, there is nothing toxic about it. I now keep a paint scraper just for the kitchen. It is my new favorite tool. Hope that this helps you make your life simpler.:)

(By the way, only buy a scraper that fits into the palm of your hand.)

The best time to remove burnt-on grease from glass oven door is right after you finish baking, while the door is still hot.

Open the door horizontally, apply your oven cleaner and wait few minutes.

The combination of heat and good oven cleaner should do the trick. Use a damp cloth to clean leftovers.

Oven cleaning is best done frequently to keep it from becoming too difficult. Products like Oven-Nu are good as one can just put the fluid in the bag along with the shelves, and paint the foam onto the oven and after an hour it's all clean. However to keep it from getting to that state a regular cleaning with kitchen cleaner will stop the build up.

Regular glass cleaner (Windex) won't cut through the carbon that builds up on the glass. There are products made specifically to clean fireplace glass doors- check Lowes or Home Depot for a cleaner called White Off (made by Rutland- and there are others). However, first you may want to try the home remedy-

Make a ball of newspaper about the size of a tennis ball, Lightly dampen one side in water, then dip is wood ashes. Use the ashy ball to scrub the glass. If it breaks loose the carbon and tar, you can finish up with regular glass cleaner. You can TRY to clean the doors while they are still in place ( Bwahahaha!) but may have better luck removing them, and placing them flat on several sheets of newspaper while cleaning.

An easy way to clean an oven would be to purchase an oven cleaner such as "Easy Off" and follow the directions on the can. Alternatively one may use a mixture of baking soda and hot water.
