AIBU to ask why no one told me grass cleans ovens!

[HeavenHotel]

Does everyone know this? Or just me who didn't know?

If you get your dirtiest, greasiest most burnt oven shelves and stick them in some grass cuttings overnight, you can wipe them clean the next day!!!

WTF!

I did it yesterday thinking it was some sort of late April Fools Joke. But ... IT WORKS!!!

Anyone else not know?

Does it have to be fresh grass cuttings?

It's in Nancy Birtwistle's Clean and Green book. I may try it too.

Does it have to be grass cuttings? Can I just leave them on the lawn overnight?

What?!!!

Isn't it the moisture that cleans them, not the grass itself? I saw this tip years ago in the original Flylady book.

Utterly random. How was that discovered? Frustration at cleaning the oven so yeet it into the garden, then calm down the next day, go back out shamefully to collect said oven glass and.. oh my goodness, its clean!?!

Wow!!!!

Our lawn needs mowing - can I just lob them out into the lawn? 😬

I didn't know this. I will keep the cuttings from my next mowing.

I never thought to do this with an oven, but when camping I have always boiled up some grass to clean the pans. Can’t recall where I learned this

Well I didn't tell you because I didn't know.

I'm gonna try this - but it's only for the racks right? Not the inside?

Wth! I’m going to try this, sounds odd but if it works

This is mad 😂
Would this work for a barbecue grill too?!

Putting them in a large sink or container overnight with biological washing powder works brilliantly. More convenient too, but not so environment friendly.

Well I wish Id know before I had the garden slated last week

I'm cutting the grass today so will try this and report back.

Wow. I cut the grass the other day so have a bin (council provided garden waste bin for the benefit of the sustainability police) full of cuttings, I could just lob all the racks in there. Must remember to remove them before it gets emptied though.

Someone came around last week and told you how crap your garden looked?

How rude

Who discovered this?

Mind Blown !

Gonna try this later (with all my burnt pans !)

Who discovered this?
Someone after a barbecue, I reckon.

This is interesting.
Is it to do with heat?
I know when i pile 3-4 mowing containers into our compost heap it gets very warm.

Never heard of this before. Will definitely be trying it.

Wondering if I can just lob a load into the actual oven

Does it work on oven doors? I can't see through mine...
