    I will add water to a pan on the stove bring to a boil then add baking soda, maybe some dawn if really greasy stuff. The pan is cleaned and I only need to wipe it out with rag and rinse.. No scrubbing.. Great for cleaning out the slow cooker too.

      Bev,

      Excellent tip. I only use cast iron pans, so I use a salt scrub to clean them out, but I’ll try it for the slow cooker.

    I am excited to try this for myself. I’m dealing with my smoke alarm doing it’s nuisance sound when the oven door is opened. My cue to clean the oven–but I dread the canned cleaners. My husband jokingly laughs and says dinner must be good, really good, or excellent depending on how many smoke alarms I’ve set off. But I’d rather get the oven clean. I’ll have to let you know how well it worked for me too. Thanks. And I love ideas that are simple too.
