Cleaning burnt foil from oven
My wife made some popovers this morning. In the past, she had trouble
with the popovers leaving pools of grease on the bottom of the oven, so she decided to cover the bottom of the oven with aluminum foil. Where the grease hit the foil, it burned and the foil stuck to the bottom of the oven. I removed what I could of the foil, but there are several patches of stuck, burned-on foil. We tried running a self-clean cycle, but that did not burn off the stuck foil. Any suggestions as to how to remove the burned-on foil without damaging the enamel surface on the bottom of the oven? --THC ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tom Cormen Voice: (603) 646-2417 Professor of Computer Science Fax: (603) 646-1672 Chair, Writing Program Email: Dartmouth College URL: http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~thc/ 6211 Sudikoff Laboratory Hanover, NH 03755-3510 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |

The self-clean cycle of a self-cleaning oven is hotter than any cooking routine: so you may have brazed the foil permanently to the enamel. There was a reason why your oven's instructions recommended against the use of alum. foil as a liner on the enameled metal. -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada) |

Cleaning burnt foil from oven
I would just leave it. It happened to our oven. In the supermarket, I
found thin aluminum liners that are made for ovens. No more problems since we switched to the thin liners. Stephen R. "Thomas Cormen" wrote in message .. . My wife made some popovers this morning.

There was a reason why your oven's instructions recommended against the use of alum. foil as a liner on the enameled metal. Unfortunately, you are probably correct. I don't know whether our oven's instructions included such a recommendation, but by the time I saw what was going on, it was too late to do anything about it. I would have thought that the self-cleaning cycle would get hot enough to burn off the aluminum. I've seen aluminum burn on my charcoal grill. I suppose that the self-clean cycle just doesn't get as hot as a charcoal grill. Thanks for the response, Don. --THC ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tom Cormen Voice: (603) 646-2417 Professor of Computer Science Fax: (603) 646-1672 Chair, Writing Program Email: Dartmouth College URL: http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~thc/ 6211 Sudikoff Laboratory Hanover, NH 03755-3510 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |

Common OTC consumer "Oven Cleaner" contains caustic and is "not supposed" to damage enamel (porcelain ??) oven surfaces. (Read the directions carefully) Jason |
