Through lack of maintenance on my part hehe our cooker is now smoking a bit
when in use setting the fire alarm off occasionally which is my motivation
for cleaning it.

I rubbed down the wire rack and tray with a wire brush come up and treat as
there was baked on crap on both.

But its still smoking obviously inside where stuff has gone splat. I tried
conventional scrubbing but made no progress as it was beyond baked on.
I guess its time to put chemicals to work ?

In the past I tried mr muscle oven cleaner whilst it tickled the burnt on
stuff it didn't really do much.

I'm not expecting to bring it back to new but would like to get a decent
finish.

The glass is completely covered in baked on stuff, I'm guessing the chance
of seeing through that again are gone lol...

Having never got this involved with the cooker I was wondering if anyone
knows what I can use.

Slap on my wrist for not cleaning it once a month or something.

Advice greatly recevied gents *thumbs up*



I cleaned my glass with a paste of soda crystals, washing powder and
water. Coated the glass, left it overnight, then scraped the grease off
with a Stanley knife blade. Perfect.
The inside I had to attack several times with concentrated solution of
soda crystals in boiling water. Warm oven up and leave the solution on
for a few hours. If you really want to be entertained, you can switch
the oven on and the melted fat bubbles up into big crisps which you can
just scrape off with a plastic scraper!
Left it like new.
