Step 1: Gather Your Materials
Water: The most crucial ingredient! Tap water works perfectly.
A heatproof dish: A large, oven-safe dish or baking pan that can hold water.
Vinegar (optional): For added grease-cutting power, you can add a cup of vinegar to the water.
A soft cloth or sponge: For wiping away grime after the steam has done its job.
A spatula or scraper (optional): If there are extremely stubborn spots, a gentle scraper can help loosen them.
Step 2: Preheat the Oven
Start by preheating your oven to around 400°F (200°C). The idea is to create a hot environment to turn the water into steam efficiently.
Step 3: Prepare the Water Dish
Fill your heatproof dish or baking pan with about an inch or two of water. If you’re dealing with a particularly greasy oven, consider adding a cup of vinegar to the water. Vinegar is a natural degreaser and will enhance the cleaning power of the steam.
