Some Tips on Caring for Your Oven

People expect a lot out of their ovens. It’s supposed to bake everything from cakes and pies to casseroles and pot roasts to holiday turkeys at high temperatures. This may happen every single day for an oven whose owner loves to cook. For these reasons, it can be one of the more expensive appliances, Therefore, it’s important that an oven receive regular care. Here are some ways to take care of it.

Know What Kind of Oven It Is and Read the Owner’s Manual

There are many kinds of ovens, and they need somewhat different types of care to work optimally. For example, some ovens are self-cleaning. Other ovens don’t have any self-cleaning function.

Ovens can be powered by electricity or gas. They can be convection types that use a fan, conventional types that don’t or a combination where you can switch between the two. Read and understand your owner’s manual to learn what sort of care your oven needs.

Try to Clean Hard-to-Reach Places

Ovens are often fitted between floor cabinets, but it’s important to try to regularly clean all parts of the appliance. This includes the sides and the back where debris can accumulate and hinder the flow of air. Pulling the oven away from the wall and using a vacuum with a brush attachment should work.

Wipe the Oven Down Early and Often

Get into the habit of using a damp cloth to wipe your oven after every use. This stops spills from being baked in, which are famously hard to clean. Give the oven a more thorough wiping down every three months or so. This includes the outside as well as the inside.

Aluminum Foil Is Good

Aluminum foil is not just to cover casseroles or wrap up meats or vegetables before roasting them. A sheet of aluminum foil spread on the bottom of your oven is an inexpensive and efficient way to catch inevitable spills. When the sheet becomes too grungy, throw it out and replace it with a clean sheet.

Never Use Extension Cords

As with other large appliances, extension cords should never be used with your oven. The oven needs a steady and stable amount of power, and an extension cord simply can’t deliver this. In the end, using an extension cord may destroy your oven.
