    How to Quick-Clean Your Oven in 15 Minutes | Thermador Wall Oven

    What is the quickest way to clean your oven without running the self-clean function? Most times the self-clean function can take a couple of hours, and if you don’t want to wait for that long, we have a way to clean your oven in just 10 to 15 minutes.

    You’ll only need three things:

    • Baking Soda 
    • Vinegar
    • Magic Erase Sheets

    If you’re planning on cleaning your oven before a big dinner or any holidays, this is a great option for a quick clean. Since you’re cooking in your oven, you don’t want to use any harsh chemicals that could release into your food. That’s why you want to use a mixture of vinegar and baking soda, or you could even use Windex. Just keep in mind, you don’t want to use anything harmful that will cook off into food.

    Mix equal parts vinegar and water into a pot with baking soda. Then you can take your magic erase sheets and soak them in the mixture before using them to scrub down your oven. The vinegar leaves no streaks, and the baking soda will loosen any dirt or grime caked onto the inside of your oven. If your oven has an exposed bake element, just avoid this. Most newer ovens have a hidden bake element. Depending on how dirty your oven is, it may take a handful of magic erase sheets until you start seeing less and less dirt absorbed.

    Your racks in the oven also see a lot of wear-and-tear and the best way to get any dirt off these would be to soak them in your sink or a tub with water, vinegar, and baking soda. These can just as easily be scrubbed down if you’re looking to do a quick clean. This method of cleaning isn’t as thorough as running the self-clean process on your oven, but it is a quick 10 to 15 minute clean if you don’t feel like waiting a few hours for your oven to clean itself.
