🔥 Inlaid Oven? Try the Dishwasher Tong Trick to Clean It Easily!

Cleaning an oven that’s caked with grease, burnt-on food, and stubborn stains can be one of the most dreaded kitchen tasks. But what if we told you there’s a clever trick using something you already own—dishwasher tongs (or racks)—that can make this job much easier and more effective?

Yes, the same racks that hold your dishes can help you tackle even the grimiest inlaid oven without hours of scrubbing or harsh chemicals. Let’s explore this surprisingly effective hack and how to do it step by step.

🧽 What Is an “Inlaid Oven”?

An inlaid oven refers to a built-in or integrated oven, which is common in modern kitchens. These ovens are stylish and space-efficient, but they often lack removable parts or easy-access angles, making deep cleaning a serious challenge—especially when food spills or grease gets baked in.

🍽️ The Trick: Use Your Dishwasher Racks (Tong-Like Grips) to Help Clean the Oven

The “tong” trick involves using the grip points on your dishwasher’s top rack or tongs from the cutlery holder to assist with cleaning hard-to-reach areas inside your oven. It’s less about using the dishwasher to do the cleaning, and more about repurposing dishwasher parts or tools to hold and maneuver cleaning cloths or scrubbers deep inside the oven space.

🧼 Here’s How to Do It:

🛠️ What You’ll Need:

• Dishwasher tongs or upper-rack grips (or metal kitchen tongs if detachable parts aren’t an option)
• Microfiber cloth or non-abrasive scrubber
• Baking soda
• White vinegar
• Warm water
• Spray bottle
• Rubber gloves (optional)

👣 Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Prepare a Natural Cleaning Paste

Mix:

• 1/2 cup of baking soda
• A few tablespoons of warm water
  Until it forms a spreadable paste.

Spread it generously over the inside of the oven, avoiding heating elements.

2. Let It Sit

Leave the paste to sit overnight or for at least 8 hours.
