No need to scrub, put the oven rack in a bag: it looks new again | April 30, 2025

The oven rack can be really difficult to clean, especially if it is used frequently and there is dirt stuck on it. Let’s see how to make it new again. Food residue and embedded grease could render the oven rack unusable.

Oven grill: why it gets dirty
The oven is a great ally for preparing our dishes. Whether static or ventilated, the oven contains internal racks that allow trays or containers with the dishes to be cooked to be placed on them. The oven rack (although there may be more than one) can be placed at different heights thanks to a sliding system.

When cooking, getting dirty is inevitable , and just like the stove can get dirty, the oven rack can get dirty too. Cleaning this part of your appliance can be really complicated. In fact, in some cases, chemicals sold for this purpose, which promise great things, actually don’t deliver what they promise.

Fortunately, there is a very quick and quite natural method to perfectly degrease the oven grill. While it may seem unusual to you, it is actually so effective that it will surprise you.

First you will need a very large bag , like those used to throw garbage. The bag should be able to hold the oven rack. Next, you will need a dishwasher detergent tablet . If you don’t have it, don’t worry, you won’t have to go out and buy it. All you need to do is replace the tablet with regular laundry detergent.
