Need help to really clean easily Kitchen Aid oven racks!
Comments (3)No I haven't tried that one yet - I'll tell my husband and he can wash the grill, too! I did call Kitchen Aid and they said just try hot soapy water - I am letting one of the racks soak now (half a rack at a time as it obviously won't lie down in the sink!) Thanks for your suggestion!...See MoreBosch oven door glass shattered during self clean
Comments (101)I dont have a bosch oven, it's from IKEA and made by Electrolux but I'm having similar issues. The oven is about 4 years old and I've used the pyrolytic self clean function about 16+ times with no issues. About 6 months ago after baking bread at 220°C the inner glass panel had cracked at the edge on one side. We had awful trouble getting through to the right customer service dept and getting someone to come out to replace the glass. They eventually came out after 6 weeks (& that was a cancellation as they'd had no space until just before Christmas) and replaced the glass. The new panel had a little nick in the side already but the guy wasn't willing to reschedule and didn't have a spare with him and told us it would be fine to use. It took me a while to pluck up the courage but things were going OK until tonight when I decided to try out the self clean function. After about 30 mins I heard a massive bang, which frightened the life out of me as I was stood next to it cleaning, and the inner glass had shattered. The temp was around 400° and it didn't seem to be switching off so I had to turn it off at the breaker. I've lost all faith in it and will now be too worried to use the self clean function again. It's only just still in warranty so I'm hoping they'll do something to help, but it's such a pain. Luckily, I have 2 ovens or we'd be stuffed...See MoreEasy Off and Self Cleaning oven
Comments (7)Maybe try a baking soda paste to get the film off. Don't use the self cleaning mode. I have an OLD gas stove and do not use oven cleaner. I use baking soda and all I do is put the paste on with a sponge or just my hands, let it sit for like 5 minutes, and everything wipes right up. And I am NOT a clean cook or particularly mindful of how long it has been since the last cleaning. LOL Sometimes I have to repeat the process until it's clean, but eventually everything comes off....See MoreConvection Microwave? Advantium? Steam Oven? Toaster Oven?
Comments (21)You might want to consider a standard oven with a steam/convection oven set up. Many people use the steam oven for much of what they use a microwave for but the steam provides a better result. It's not as fast as a microwave of course. Depending on the size of your kitchen, it might make sense to just get a regular microwave instead of a built in and put it in a cubby in one of the cabinets. That way it's off the counter but you aren't committing to having a more expensive built in and it's easily replaceable. I had considered the Advantium in my current remodel but realized that much of the reason people liked it was what they used it for which was cooking food for their kids quickly - chicken fingers; pizza and other snack food. I also read a lot of reviews by people on this forum and realized that it was a bit of a hassle to change from microwave to regular oven because you need to swap out the shelf. I am finishing my remodel and ultimately went with a Bosch Side Opening Convection oven because the ergonomic advantages of it are great for me - I can access and load in the front instead of from the side. I opted for a microwave drawer underneath but that's because I have a really small kitchen so the alternative for the microwave would have been the counter (and I have almost no counter space) or above the cooktop in lieu of a really good hood....See Morelive_wire_oak
