My wife has just been cleaning the gas cooker. It's seems to have been a
struggle and taken forever.

I seem to remember there were aerosol sprays that did the job. Have they
been legislated out of existence? Any recommendations?

Oven Pride is a gloopy caustic soda solution, you pour half of it in a
strong poly bag, and put the shelves in it, for a few hours, agitating
and turning. You can wipe the other half on the oven floor if it needs
doing.

Obviously take care with the liquid ...

I find that most aerosols are okay.

How about cleaning it yourself instead of delegating it to your wife?

And leave overnight.

Surely she's the one that got it dirty in the first place?

Actually, I get to clean the cooker and combi, as my wife has asthma and
the fumes from many oven cleaning products trigger her off immediately.

There are some nasty effective aerosols still around - often found in
pound stretcher type retailers.

Spray the oven, vacate the room, wait 10 minutes and wipe off, repeat as
necessary. Face mask and gloves recommend.

No but none of them worked I gather.
The best way to keep The oven clean is not to use it.

use liner sheets or a catalytic clean cycle. Otherwise you're stuck with caustic.

One that works very well but all the warning signs on the bottle
really mean it is 880 Ammonia (Not "household Ammonia").

You need to wear suitable protective equipment when decanting it and
placing it in the oven. The copious fumes are both toxic and very
irritating. Eye protection and a proper fume rated respirator/filter
are required Gloves are also essential.

Put about half a pint in a large glass container (such as a casserole
dish) place in oven. Don't turn the oven on but simply close the oven
door and the kitchen door and leave it for 12 to 24 hours. It softens
all the grease admirably and simply needs a wipe over afterwards.

The Ammonia evaporates quickly so after a day there won't be much
smell left and the remaining liquid isn't corrosive or harmful, it can
simply be poured down the sink. Any grease in the oven, including
baked on stuff, will have softened and be fairly easy to remove.

880 Ammonia is 33% dissolved ammonia.

https://apcpure.com/product/ammonia_...n_33_34_sg0_88

https://atomscientific.com/product/a...solution_25_28 This is
the Industrial grade at 25 to 28% Ammonia. Easier to obtain as some
suppliers will only ship 880Ammonia to business buyers

Self cleaning ovens are 'magic' - well not really but certainly the next
best thing. Take out the shelves, set to self clean (we do it at night),
give it a wipe in the morning. Shelves have to be soaked etc but they
aren't normally too bad.
