Genius water bowl hack cleans an entire oven in just 20 minutes – and there’s no scrubbing required
CLEANING the oven is surely one of the most frustrating tasks on a to-do list.
But now the pros have shared a clever hack to clean the entire kitchen appliance in just 20 minutes.
And it doesn’t involve booking a professional in or using any nasty chemicals – instead it’s something that’s already sitting in your kitchen cupboards.
That’s because a simple mixing bowl is your answer to getting your oven sparkling clean in no time at all and with minimal elbow grease.
According to the experts at Oven Pride, this is just one top trick to help your daily chores.
They explained: “With all sorts of pasta bakes, joints of meat and other tasty treats going in your oven, it’s unsurprising that it’s a haven for spillages and grease.
“With that said, we probably neglect cleaning our ovens as much as we should.
“This means when the time comes to give them a once over, the task usually ends up being tougher and more frustrating than it needs to be.”
They continued that instead of “putting it off” and “creating a vicious cycle” for ourselves, we should take control of the situation regularly .
Oven Pride then said: “The good news is, there are plenty of tricks and tips you can use to make it a little easier for yourself next time you need to give your oven some TLC.”
The experts then launched into why they thought that using a bowl was one of the most underrated but effective hacks – and cost you absolutely nothing.
Lifting the lid on the tried and tested method, they suggested taking the oven-proof bowl and filling it with hot water.
Once this is done, they said to place it inside the oven one you’ve finished using it to cook dinner.
Simply turn up the temperature dial and allow the water to work its magic as the steam that evaporates works on the grime build-up in the appliance.

Oven Pride suggests that the optimum time period is between 20 minutes to one hour and then turning the oven off and allowing it to cool.
In their own words, they said: “As soon as you’ve finished using the oven, a great tip is to put a heat-resistant bowl of water inside.
“Heat it at a high temperature for 20 minutes so it can loosen dirt and grease.”
“Once the time has elapsed, remove the bowl, wait for the oven to cool down completely and wipe down the surfaces with paper towels.”
The hack has previously done the rounds on social media – and it’s certainly impressed, especially those on Facebook group Mums Who Clean.
Many cleaning fans have said that they’d definitely do it again as it made the job so much easier.
