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?
if the op is anything like me, they'll absolutely despise that note every time they see it
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 🗿🗿
That is a pro tip right there!
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?
Hell yeah, that's good shit man
Is that code for something?
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.
Not enough nice rack compliments in this community.
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 :)
Oh god, another chore I haven't done in a couple of months.
~~months~~ years
~~months~~ ~~years~~ ever
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.
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.

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.
What the.
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
Cool. Can you do mine next?
Sooner or later when ai has taken my job my cleaning services will be available
That looks great! Any pointers?
What did you use??
Fuck yeah you did, good job
Dude, absolute king shit 10/10
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.
You're welcome, I hope yours is extra clean and sparkly!!
I almost always just wait for the house fire so I never have to deal with it

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.
