Have you been wondering how to clean your toaster oven, and procrastinating doing it? The toaster oven is a tiny workhorse in any kitchen. Oftentimes it is a kitchen appliance that can lose its sparkly shine very quickly, and build up grease and crumbs. With just a few easy tips, we can help you get your toaster oven looking like brand new again!

The steps on how to clean your toaster oven are the following:

1. Clean the Tray & Crumbs

Let’s start with the easy part. Before you start cleaning the oven, unplug it for your safety. Follow this step by taking out the tray, dumping out the crumbs and debris, and washing it with some soapy water.

2. Clean Any Other Removable Parts

Next, remove the rack and pans, let them soak in some soapy water with grease-fighting detergent or oven cleaner, and rinse them off. While these removable parts are drying you can shake out the crumbs from the toaster oven into the trash.

3. Cut Oven Grease

To clean the actual oven, use an abrasive scrubber sponge with some oven cleaner and scrub away! Make sure to stay away from the heating elements inside and the cable that extends on the outside. You can clean the little glass door with some vinegar and water to keep it food-safe.

4. Ensure Proper Drying Time

Make sure the oven is dry completely dry before plugging it back in for your safety. Make sure to maintain this routine about once a month, or once every two months to keep it looking perfect!

Bonus Tip

To keep your toaster oven cleaner for longer and avoid making a mess, place tin-foil on the tray and discard after you have cooked your meal. This will protect not only the tray from grease and crumb buildup, but also grease from dripping down and making the oven dirty again.
