In summer it seems that the oven at home is somewhat more removed from our day to day. we stop doing milk biscuitswe forget about grilled chicken and we spend the day eating fresh fruit, Gazpacho and salads. But as soon as the cold arrives, things change.
The oven is put at full capacity so that our house smells like biscuits, roasted pumpkin and everything we cook with this appliance that gives so much game. But the laziness that comes from cleaning the oven it’s almost epic, that’s why finding a product with which the task is less tedious and much easier, is like finding a needle in a haystack. That needle is Mercadona’s oven cleaner.
Why is the Mercadona oven cleaner famous?
We already explained how to clean the baking tray to make it shiny, but the oven is much more complicated. First, because the tray can be moved and the oven cannot. Second, because it is more likely that the oven accumulates grease and dirt because it doesn’t get cleaned as often as the tray, and third, because sticking your head into an appliance to clean it isn’t a pretty thing.
Although we could do with baking soda and cleaning vinegar, or even use lemon, which has many health benefits In addition to being a disinfectant, rubbing is something that we could not avoid, but with Mercadona’s oven cleaner, yes. Its ease of use and the fact that it takes work off us is one of the reasons for its fame, although the price is undoubtedly what most convinces us: €1.30 for a 300 ml bottle, much cheaper than other degreasers on the market.
How to use Mercadona oven cleaner
The most important thing is to let the oven cool down, though if there is very very embedded fat we can turn on the oven to facilitate the task, although not more than 50º. We remove the trays and grids, the rails if it has them and if we dare, the door, which thanks to TikTok we can tell you that removing it is much easier than it seemed.
We put the spray on all the walls, very carefully with the fans in which we will not add product, and let it act for at least 15 minutes. If there is a lot of dirt because, like me, you have been leaving it, leaving it, and leaving it until the oven seemed like a battlefield, you can let it act for up to 3 hours, with the oven on to make the task even easier.
Once the product has acted, we use a damp cloth (Mercadona’s microfiber ones are top) and go through the walls of the oven until all the dirt is removed. It is important that you rinse the cloth several times to completely remove the product from the walls, otherwise in the next roast we will have an unpleasant chemical aroma.
It is important not to use it in microwaves or self-cleaning ovens, although we can use it in pyrolytic ovens. The outside of the oven, as well as any electrical element, aluminum, heaters or fans must be avoided because smoke may appear. The oven door, for example, we can clean it with cleaning vinegar or use the tricks of how to clean a window.
A fast, effective and very cheap way to clean the oven at home.
