Prep Your Pot: Start by filling your large soup pot halfway with water and bring it to a boil.
Add Baking Soda: Once the water reaches a boil, carefully add 1 cup of baking soda. Stir briefly to mix. The solution will start to fizz and foam, which is normal and part of the cleaning process.
Submerge the Vents: Turn off the heat to avoid boiling over due to the reaction between baking soda and water. Using your kitchen scissor tongs, gently place the oven vents into the hot baking soda solution.
Watch the Magic Happen: Leave the vents submerged for about a minute. You’ll quickly see the grease and grime dissolving away. This process is swift, allowing you to either continue with other chores or simply take a well-deserved break.
Safety First: After a minute, carefully carry the pot to your sink. Use the tongs to remove the vents from the pot and then safely dispose of the hot water.
Rinse: Rinse the vents under cool water to wash away any remaining dirt or baking soda residue.
This method not only makes your oven vents sparkle but also demonstrates an effective, eco-friendly cleaning hack that spares you from laborious scrubbing or the need to replace grimy vents with new ones.
