Over time, the oven door can become a canvas of grease, food splatters, and grime, affecting not only appearance but also visibility inside the oven.
Some ovens come with stylish tinted glass doors that conserve heat, yet obscure how dirty they are. Rachel, from Kentucky, better known online as @freerange and known for her home hacks, was shooting a review of a new steam cleaner for her followers when she made an unexpected discovery.
Believing her oven to have a tinted door, she set out to test the product. However, partway through cleaning, she was startled to find the “tint” was in fact a layer of filth. The moment of realisation came while filming a TikTok, captioned: “When you start to film a review of a steam cleaner on your tinted oven door,” which has since garnered over 93,000 likes. She vowed to share her full review once she gets over the initial shock.
The video captures her surprised expression, followed by showing the oven door half clean, displaying the stark contrast against the grimy section. Her mishap provoked heaps of laughter among TikTok viewers, sparking an outpouring of concern for their own ovens, with one user exclaiming: “The way my jaw COLLAPSED.”
One person remarked: “And that’s a whole different level of trauma to process,” and another queried: “How could you think THAT was a tinted glass? ” A different user exclaimed: “I don’t even need the review girl take my money.”
Steam oven cleaners deploy high-temperature steam to break down grease, grime, and food remnants, simplifying the cleaning process. Keeping your oven door glass clean is crucial for kitchen maintenance.
A spotless oven door not only enhances the appearance of your cooker but also allows you to keep an eye on your culinary creations without opening the door.
