Haven't done that in ages. You see, the way it works with adhd is that I use the oven and when it's hot and I'm inserting the food, I'm reminded that I'll need to clean it. After eating the oven is too hot to clean and by the time it's again at room temperature I have forgotten the thing even exists.

Could you put a brightly coloured post-it on the oven, so you'll notice it next time you're in the kitchen?

[-] charade_you_are@sh.itjust.works 5 points 20 hours ago

if the op is anything like me, they'll absolutely despise that note every time they see it

[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago

Yes, that's how it works. Then you channel that hatred into cleaning the oven, even though you don't really want to.

The grease seasons the food, I refuse to clean my oven 🗿🗿

[-] djmikeale@feddit.dk 4 points 21 hours ago

That is a pro tip right there!

[-] bruzzard@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

This is what my mates who work in the kitchen tell me as well. The gunnk is part of the recipe it seems.

The grease is part of my oven right now. If i clean it, there will be no oven just a hollow shell.

Why not just run the oven self cleaning cycle?

[-] janewaydidnothingwrong@lemmy.world 3 points 21 hours ago

Hell yeah, that's good shit man

[-] GreenMountainGuy@thelemmy.club 4 points 1 day ago

Is that code for something?

[-] Patrikvo@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 day ago

Yes, it means it's safe to invade Florida or OP needs replacement binoculars. Depends on the context.

Ooh...nice rack adjustment gaps you got there. I only have three.

[-] CoffeeSoldier@sh.itjust.works 2 points 16 hours ago

Not enough nice rack compliments in this community.

[-] rumba@lemmy.zip 2 points 21 hours ago

I keep a desktop convection/airfrying oven next to the real oven. Every 2-3 years I recycle it and get a new one.

Big ovens are a fucking nightmare to clean :)

[-] Bluewing@lemmy.world 58 points 1 day ago

Oh god, another chore I haven't done in a couple of months.

I made beef jerky in the oven one time 8 years ago and the evaporated Worcestershire sauce turned into an enamel that cannot be removed by any household cleaner unless I step it up to something that'd dissolve the metal of the oven itself. It's permanent as far as I'm concerned. It looks like grease but you can't even scrape it off it's beyond Gorilla Glass in hardness.

[-] Patrikvo@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago

You should patent it and sell the recipe to Nasa as a replacement for the heath shield.

Jerryrigeverything enters the chat with his Mohs hardness picks. Finds it scratches around an 8 with visible grooves around a 9.

The worst houshold chore. So irritating and time consuming. Then I bought a 'self cleaning' oven. A life changer.

[-] not@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 day ago

Be careful with those if you have birds in the household!

Yeah this always bothered me. If it can kill birds is it really OK for you? A coal miner wouldn't approve of this. I can certainly smell it. I only do this every three years or so and always in the fall when I can leave the windows open for quite a few hours.

Birds have incredibly efficient lungs, which makes them incredibly sensitive lungs at the same time.

Another danger of a similar kind is teflon or similarly coated things heating up. For humans it might be about as bad as flu-like symptoms, with our glorified air balloons of a set of lungs, but in birds it shreds the lungs from the inside

Dude, absolute king shit 10/10

[-] Malica@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 day ago

You just reminded me that I ran the cleaning cycle and didn't wipe it up afterwards. It's been 3 days. Thank you and curse ADHD.

[-] djmikeale@feddit.dk 3 points 1 day ago

You're welcome, I hope yours is extra clean and sparkly!!

[-] huquad@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 day ago

I almost always just wait for the house fire so I never have to deal with it

An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.
