Cleaning and descaling your oven can feel like a daunting task, especially if it’s caked with grease, grime, or limescale buildup. The pot method is an effective, natural, and easy solution that uses steam and common household items to loosen stubborn residues and make your oven sparkle again. This step-by-step guide will walk you through the process to achieve a pristine oven without harsh chemicals.

Why the Pot Method Works

The pot method relies on the power of steam to soften baked-on food, grease, and limescale. By using water combined with natural descaling agents like vinegar or lemon, you create a moist environment that loosens grime and makes scrubbing much easier. It’s a safe, eco-friendly alternative to chemical oven cleaners.

What You’ll Need

  • 1 oven-safe pot or large, deep baking dish
  • 2-3 cups of water
  • 1 cup white vinegar or the juice of 2 lemons
  • A microfiber cloth or sponge
  • Baking soda (optional for extra scrubbing power)
  • Gloves (optional for sensitive skin)
