New Self-Clean for Old Ovens

If you have an older oven (15+ years), you may choose an alternative to the self-clean cycle to get a few more years out of your appliance. You see, after years of use the plastics in your oven become very brittle. Heating your oven to the extreme temps of self-clean may cause the plastics, and thus the electronics, to fail.

Instead of relying on self-clean to clean your oven, put a sheet of foil down on the bottom of your oven. It will catch spills and crumbs so your oven won’t get dirty. When you pull out the foil to recycle it, your over will be as clean as new!
