How to degrease and clean your oven tray

✨ Extra Cleaning Hacks for Stubborn Grease

• Baking soda paste: Mix 3 tablespoons baking soda with 1 tablespoon water to create a thick paste. Apply it to baked-on spots and let sit for 15–30 minutes before scrubbing.
• Oven cleaner (last resort): If your tray is metal (and not non-stick), you can use a commercial oven cleaner — but always follow instructions and work in a well-ventilated area.
• Magic erasers: These can work wonders on non-stick surfaces, just be gentle to avoid scratching.

🚫 What Not to Do

• Avoid steel wool or harsh abrasives on non-stick or enamel trays — they can damage the surface.
• Don’t skip the soak — it softens the grime and makes scrubbing easier.

🧼 Maintenance Tips

• Line your tray with baking paper or aluminum foil to reduce build-up during cooking.
• Wipe your tray down immediately after use (once cooled) to prevent grease from setting.
• Clean regularly to avoid heavy build-up and extend the life of your ovenware.
