Hey everyone, I’ve got a chrome oven (Moulinex Optimo OX4848) with some seriously stubborn burnt-on food splatters that just won’t budge. I’ve tried degreaser (KH-7) and scrubber sponge, steel sponge scrubber, and even a sanding block. The sanding block was working, but I heard it might damage the chrome plating, leading to rusting underneath.
The trickiest spots are on the top of the oven, and I’m wondering if it’s safe to turn the oven over to let some steaming water loosen up those burnt spots. What would you all recommend as the best way to thoroughly clean those difficult burnt-on spots without damaging the chrome plating? I want to get it really clean without risking damage to the oven surface itself. Any specific products or techniques you have used that worked well for this?
I’m in Spain, so I’d appreciate recommendations for specific products that I can find in local supermarkets (all the products available in Spanish supermarkets are in soysuper.com).
Try boiling a kettle, filling a bowl of water, pop it in the oven on 100 for 30 minutes. That will soften it up. Then you could also try a paste of bicarbonate and water painted on and leave for a while. It might take several goes.
When it’s done, buy a silicone liner for the bottom and wipe out the sides and roof with soapy water every time you use it. It saves sooo much time in the long run.
Good luck!
That’s what I’ve ended up doing, I’ve covered the spots with the bicarbonate and water paste and will leave it overnight and then I’m going to spray it with vinegar and remove it.
you can skip the vinegar, beside the bubbles when it reacts with the bicarbonate mixing the two essentially only neutralize both
