You are a baking goddess (or god) and your family loves you for that. But now your goopy oven racks need a cleaning so you can continue your magic. Here’s what to do…
Run very hot water in the bathtub—enough to completely cover the oven racks. Add one-third cup of liquid dish detergent and one cup of white vinegar. Let the racks soak in the tub for at least one hour. Then scrub if necessary, rinse and wipe dry.
If some stubborn caked-on crud refuses to come off, you can carefully scrape it away with a knife.
If you want to save yourself the job of having to clean a dirty bathtub, then put the racks in a large, heavy-duty plastic bag along with the water, detergent and vinegar. Fill the bathtub with hot water and soak the bagged racks in the bathtub for one hour.
