Cleaning Toaster Ovens - help, please

[Catty1]

I just went to the manufacturer's website. I could download the same owner's manual as I have now....so I went to the FAQ.

It said to clean the upper parts with a non-abrasive cleaner, and to not use oven cleaner.

Well, THAT narrows it down, as some of those spatters don't give up easily!

OH WELL - will try the baking soda.

Unplug and be sure it's cool. Use lighter fluid on a terry cloth. If you can turn it upside down, leave the cloth on the grease stains for a few minutes, then scrub. The lighter fluid breaks down the grease. Wash well with soap and water before plugging it in. Goo Gone works too, but can be corrosive so I always try lighter fluid first.

Sounds kinda weird, but it works.

Lighter fluid - who knew! This would be butane?

Thanks!

Thanks!

I guess you could take apart a lighter to get to the butane but I think they still make containers of lighter fluid (like charcoal starter for grills) that go in old flip top lighters from years back.

NO! NOT Butane!

You want Lighter FLUID - like Zippo Lighter FLUID ...
Liquid stuff.

NO! NOT Butane!

Thanks, Phred....though it would be nice to not have any hair to hassle with for a while!

(hard to keep my face, though!)

Oh my goodness! Definitely not butane!! And No Smoking! Be sure to carefully dispose of the cloth you use.

I never smoke....unless I am REALLY p***** off, then it comes out my ears...
