How to clean the oven glass
Whether you make lasagna or casserole, there is always a splash. This can cause food to build up on the oven glass over time. You can make oven glass always look its best by doing routine cleaning, removing stubborn stains and routine maintenance.
Method 1 Do a routine cleaning
one
Make a baking soda paste. Mix a solution with 3 parts water and 1 part baking soda in a shallow bowl until the baking soda dissolves. The texture will be like that of a thin paste. Open the oven and spread the mixture on the door glass. You can spread it with your fingers on all the corners of the glass. [one]
2
Let the baking soda sit in the glass for 15 minutes. The baking soda mixture will begin to loosen the dirt. Set 15 minutes on a stopwatch.
3
Rub the glass with the rough side of a sponge. After the baking soda mix has had time to smooth out the door splatters, scrub it with a kitchen sponge. Use the rough side to peel off as much sticky food as possible. [2]
4
Rinse with water. Rinse the sponge and remove the baking soda in side-to-side movements. Rinse and squeeze the sponge from time to time until all the baking soda is removed.
5
Dry the glass with a clean cloth. Use a clean, dry kitchen cloth to dry the oven door. If there is still any baking soda left, use a damp sponge to clean it off and re-dry those areas. [3]
6
Use a glass cleaner to remove stains. To keep the glass shiny and crisp, use a commercial window and glass cleaner, such as Windex, to give the glass one last pass. Spray some of the cleaner on a paper towel and wipe from one side to the other. You don't need to dry again. The oven is now ready to use as usual.
Method 2 Remove tough stains
one
Heat the oven to 35 or 50 ° C (100 or 125 ° F). To remove stubborn stains, you should heat the oven to a very low temperature. When the oven has reached this temperature, turn it off and open the door for 1 minute to cool it down a bit. The right temperature will be when you feel the door is warm, but not too hot to the touch. [4]
Do not heat the oven to more than 50 ° C (125 ° F). If the door gets too hot, you could get burned.
Food particles that are difficult to remove will soften slightly with heat.
2
Spray the warm glass with a suitable oven cleaner. Spray the glass with an oven safe cleaner such as Easy-Off Oven Cleaner or Oven Pride. Use only enough to cover the glass, but not so much that it puddles. Close the door for 5 minutes.

4
Dry the glass with a clean cloth. Use a clean, dry kitchen cloth to dry the door. If there are still some sticky food scraps left, scrape them off with a straight razor. [5]
Method 3 Do routine maintenance
one
Clean the oven glass once a week. To keep the oven glass looking good, clean it weekly with baking soda. Put a reminder on your calendar to make it a part of your cleaning routine. [6]
2
Clean splashes immediately. If the food you prepare splashes in the oven, try to clean it as soon as possible when the glass has cooled. This way, you will prevent stains from baking again, which will make cleaning them much more difficult.
3
Use the oven's self-cleaning feature once a month. If your oven has a self-cleaning option, use it once a month to keep it dirt-free. This high temperature will neutralize spatter from the oven and allow you to ensure that the oven functions are ideal.
