A simple oven-cleaning trick passed down from Nana feels like magic: place a heatproof dish of water with a dishwashing pod in the oven, heat it gently for an hour, and let steam do the hard work. The warmth and enzymes loosen years of baked-on grease without harsh chemicals, fumes, or scrubbing—just a calm wipe once it cools.
More than a cleaning hack, Nana’s method was a lesson in patience and care. It showed that gentle, thoughtful solutions often work better than brute force, leaving not just a clean oven, but a reminder that the quiet, smart way is sometimes the most powerful of all.
