If you mean “the trick to cleaning the oven effortlessly, even the burnt-on residue”, a simple method is:
- Warm the oven slightly
Turn it on for about 5–10 minutes at a low temperature, then switch it off. A little warmth helps soften grease. - Make a baking soda paste
Mix:- ½ cup baking soda
- A few tablespoons of water (enough to make a spreadable paste)
- Coat the dirty areas
Spread the paste over burnt spots, grease, and baked-on food. Avoid covering heating elements or gas openings. - Let it sit overnight (or several hours)
The paste helps loosen hardened grime. - Wipe and scrub gently
Use a damp cloth or non-scratch sponge. For stubborn areas, repeat the process or use a scraper designed for oven glass if appropriate. - Clean the racks separately
Soak racks in warm water with dish soap (or a baking soda solution), then scrub.
Extra tip: For heavy burnt-on spills, placing a heat-safe dish of hot water in the oven for a while can create steam that helps soften residue before wiping.
Avoid mixing cleaning chemicals (especially bleach with other cleaners), and check your oven’s manual before using strong commercial cleaners.
