1. Remove the racks from your oven: Make sure your oven is turned off and has cooled down before you start. Carefully remove the oven racks and bring them to your cleaning area.
2. Prepare your cleaning space: Place the oven racks in your bathtub or large plastic tub. Make sure the tub is large enough to completely submerge the racks in water.
3. Submerge the racks: Fill the tub with hot water, making sure the racks are completely covered. The hotter the water, the more effective the cleaning process will be.
4. Add the dishwasher tablet: Drop a single dishwasher tablet into the water. You’ll be amazed at how this simple household item works wonders on grime and baked-on gunk.
5. Let it soak: Allow the racks to soak in the soapy water overnight. This step requires zero effort on your part and lets the dishwasher tablet do all the heavy lifting.
6. Rinse and dry: The next morning, pull out your racks and rinse them off. You’ll find that the grime slides off easily, leaving you with gleaming oven racks. Pat them dry with a clean towel and reinstall them in your oven.
And that’s it! With virtually no elbow grease, your oven racks can look as good as new thanks to my nana’s effortless cleaning trick. Go ahead and try this hack; your kitchen will thank you!
