A bathtub (or large plastic storage tub)
Hot water (as hot as your tap can go)
1 dishwasher tablet (any standard brand will do)
🧽 Step-by-Step: How to Clean Oven Racks with Zero Effort
Step 1: Remove the Racks
First, turn off and cool your oven completely. Carefully take out the oven racks and bring them to your bathroom or wherever you’re cleaning them.
Step 2: Set the Stage
Lay a towel in your bathtub if you’re worried about scratching the surface. Then place the oven racks inside the tub or large container.
Step 3: Fill with Hot Water
Fill the tub with enough hot water to completely submerge the racks. The hotter, the better — steam is your secret weapon here.
Step 4: Drop in the Dishwasher Tablet
Pop in one dishwasher tablet and walk away. It will fizz slightly as it dissolves and begins to break down grime.
