      Thanks! I used this thing (don’t know what it is in English) with a tiny bit of water and let it soak overnight. Also there was a little bucket with water in the oven to avoid the soap mixture drying out. Used a rough sponge and gloves due to the high pH of the soap.

        The link doesn’t work from Canada at least. Thank you VPN.
        It seems like it’s a brown soap, potassium based pH around 11, maybe even higher??

        You’ve got Rema 1000 in Denmark? Feels so weird that Norway can export anything but fish, oil and fish oil. Do they have Norwegian stuff there, like brown cheese?

    Haven’t done that in ages. You see, the way it works with adhd is that I use the oven and when it’s hot and I’m inserting the food, I’m reminded that I’ll need to clean it. After eating the oven is too hot to clean and by the time it’s again at room temperature I have forgotten the thing even exists.

    I almost always just wait for the house fire so I never have to deal with it

    The worst houshold chore. So irritating and time consuming. Then I bought a ‘self cleaning’ oven. A life changer.

        I had one of these, filthy when I moved in, so I tried the self-cleaning, pyroclastic cloud killer mode or whatever it’s called, and it gave off so much smoke I had to have all the windows open and disconnect the smoke detector and it still looked like shit afterwards.

      Yes, it means it’s safe to invade Florida or OP needs replacement binoculars. Depends on the context.

      Yes, I’ve heard first time can be a bit rough and hurt a bit. But it was also enjoyable for me, so definitely not the last time.

    That looks fantastic!

    When I was growing up, we used to line the bottom of the oven with aluminum foil. I always hated it because it never seemed to lay flat and got crinkly. A year or so ago, a friend of mine turned me on to these fiberglass* oven liners, and so far I love it! [nb: I originally put asbestos instead of fiberglass and I don’t know where my mind was when I typed that! Sorry for any confusion.]

    There are two things to pay attention to. If you get one, check where to put them; it varies between types of ovens. And it’s only temperature-safe to 500°, so check what temperature your oven’s broiler is.

    The same company also makes silicone oven rack guards - little silicone rods that you can put on the front edge of your oven racks and prevent you from burning yourself. Those are only safe to 446°, though. I taped a note to my oven temperature settings, reminding me to remove them if I ever went higher; and to remove both of I ever used the self-cleaning function. Fortunately, I haven’t needed to since :)

      Oven manual always warns against lining the bottom with foil, it can prevent heat transfer and overheat certain areas of the oven
