Oven Cleaning
If you avidly use your oven for cooking meal after meal, you should be wary of taking inadvertent safety risks. Of course, that might seem like an obvious point to make, but the crucial word here is “inadvertent” – you might not always realise what constitutes a safety risk and what doesn’t. Even something as simple as failing to clean your oven sufficiently regularly can bode ill for you and your family.
Grease is the word
Occasionally opting against cleaning the oven, even if you are convinced that you could simply “do it later”, can have surprisingly harmful consequences later down the line. As you remove cooked food from the oven, you could too easily spill food or grease inside that oven or on the inside of the glass door. These deposits will then burn when you next use the oven.
No-one wants an inefficient oven, but that’s what you would end up with if you left a lot of grease in there. As a result, food would take longer to cook than otherwise necessary. This would be cause for serious worry if you wanted to roast a chicken to time guidelines, given how important it would be for this meat to be completely cooked before you sunk your teeth into it.
There’s a smoke risk, too
When you open the door of an oven in which leftover food and grease have been burning, smoke will emerge from the oven – and, in the process, could harm your lungs. Unfortunately, your extractor won’t take care of that smoke if grease and grime have dirtied the extractor fan. In this condition, the fan could also overheat, representing a fire risk. Thousands of people are injured by kitchen fires every year.
Meanwhile, food made in an unclean oven can end up tasting suspect – especially if those morsels are baked goods. This food can begin picking up the taste of smoke and fumes – and the smell of smoke can spread around your kitchen and even the whole house. It all adds up to a compelling argument to arrange for a professional oven cleaning service like that available from Cleaning Central.
