Step-by-Step: How to Clean a Greasy Oven Tray
Step 1: Soak the Tray
The first step to lifting grease and burnt-on grime is a good soak.
- Fill your sink or a large tub with very hot water.
- Add a generous squirt of dish soap and 1/4 cup of white vinegar.
- Place your oven tray in the water and let it soak for at least 30 minutes (or up to an hour for heavily soiled trays).
Tip: For extra cleaning power, sprinkle baking soda directly on the tray before soaking.
Step 2: Scrub with Baking Soda
Once the tray has soaked:
- Drain the sink and sprinkle a thick layer of baking soda over the surface of the tray.
- Add a splash of vinegar — you’ll see it fizz! Let it sit for 5–10 minutes to break down grease and stains.
- Using crumpled aluminum foil or a non-abrasive scrubber, scrub the surface gently but firmly.
- For really tough spots, add a few drops of lemon juice or hydrogen peroxide to help lift stubborn residue.
