You’ll need hot water, dish soap, baking soda, vinegar, and a sponge or scrub brush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For those looking for a more convenient solution, consider using Easy Off Oven Cleaner<\/a> (we use it most of the time).

Here’s how to tackle common types of stains effectively:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Burnt-On Food:<\/strong> For trays with burnt-on food residue, start by letting the tray cool down completely. Then, scrape off any excess burnt bits with a spatula or blunt knife. Create a paste using baking soda and water, and apply it to the affected areas, letting it sit for at least 30 minutes to an hour. Afterward, scrub away the residue with a sponge or scrub brush, rinsing thoroughly with hot water. Repeat the process if necessary until the tray is clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Grease Stains:<\/strong> Grease stains can be particularly stubborn, but they’re not impossible to remove. Begin by soaking the tray in hot, soapy water to loosen the grease. Create a paste using equal parts baking soda and vinegar, and spread it over the grease stains, allowing it to sit for about 30 minutes. Then, scrub the stains with a sponge or scrub brush, applying pressure as needed. Rinse the tray thoroughly with hot water and repeat the process if any grease spots remain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Baked-On Residue:<\/strong> Baked-on residue can be a challenge to remove, but with the right approach, it can be tackled effectively. Start by soaking the tray in hot, soapy water to soften the residue. Then, create a paste using baking soda and water, and apply it to the baked-on areas, allowing it to sit for at least 30 minutes. Scrub the residue with a sponge or scrub brush, using firm pressure to loosen it. Rinse the tray thoroughly with hot water and repeat the process if necessary until the residue is gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cleaning a toaster oven tray may not be the most glamorous task, but it’s essential for keeping your appliance in top shape.
