Baked-on grease, sticky grime and burnt food are likely to build up inside the oven and on the racks.

This is due to spillage from cooking and baking, or moisture from cooking can cause the racks to tarnish

In some cases, food like pizza is often cooked directly on the rack, meaning it’s important for them to be clean.

While it may seem time-consuming, cleaning the oven regularly can help to keep it in tip-top condition as well as improve the efficiency of the appliance.

The company behind the complete oven cleaner said: “Transform your oven with our powerful all-in-one cleaning system, which tackles tough grease and burnt-on food to five unbeatable results and leaves your oven sparkling clean.”

Oven racks are simply placed into the Oven Pride Bag which means “no mess and no scrubbing”.

It’s also important to wipe down the racks after cooking every time, especially if you cook directly on them.

Clean the racks once or twice a year, or more often if you cook most of your meals in the oven.
