Steam-Clean Oven “Recipe”

Ingredients

• 1 oven-safe pan or baking dish

• 2–3 cups water

• (Optional) 2–3 tbsp white vinegar for extra degreasing power

Instructions

1. Prep the oven

• Remove any large food debris.

• Keep the racks inside — the steam will help clean them too.

2. Fill the pan

• Add 2–3 cups of water to an oven-safe pan.

• Optional: Add 2–3 tbsp white vinegar to help loosen grease.

3. Heat to create steam

• Place the pan on the lowest rack.

• Set the oven to 450°F (230°C) or run the Steam Clean / Aqua Clean cycle if your oven has one.

• Let it steam for 20–30 minutes.

4. Cool slightly

• Turn off the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes — still warm, but safe to touch.

5. Wipe clean

• Carefully remove the pan.

• Use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe down:

  • Walls

  • Racks

  • Oven floor

  • Door glass

• The grime should wipe off easily because the steam loosened it.
