I had the blessing of making dinner for my daughter’s family this week. Well, it was a blessing until the pot pie filling seeped out of the crust and baked into a hard, crispy shell in my oven! What a mess it created!
My oven has the self-cleaning feature, but I’m not really a fan of using it. It just gets too hot in my opinion. So when the mess in my oven cooled, I did my normal routine to try to get it clean. I scraped up what I could using a scraper, and then scrubbed it with a Brillo pad. Not much came up. Ugh. Then I Googled for a solution and I came up with a method that was called “Scrub-free!” I was a little skeptical, but it gave it a try. I was blown away with the results!
I made a paste using 1/2 Cup of baking soda and about three tablespoons of water – enough to make a paste. Then I slathered it onto the baked-on mess and let it set overnight.
The next morning I opened the oven door and this is all I had to do…
It literally wiped away with a swipe of a damp paper towel!
I’m so impressed and thankful to find a simple way to keep the oven clean without high heat, harsh chemicals or endless scrubbing!
If your oven is a disaster, get a box of Baking Soda and rub it on! It will shine by morning! Who else has tried this method?



I have not tried this, but you can be sure I intend to! Thanks so much for sharing!

I’m so happy to know this! I use baking soda for a lot of cleaning, but didn’t know about this.

Same here,, Kim. I use it in the kitchen to clean lots of other things, but had never tried this! It’s pretty spectacular!
