Hi there - does anyone have a recipe or know of a good cleaner that can clean my oven top. My oven is an old but faithful Shacklock Chef 21 - its recently suffered some bad cooking! ! ! The stove top is badly scarred with burnt food etc... and I have used almost everything to get it off even the old elbow grease to get it off... . My oven top used to gleam with cleanliness now it looks AWFUL! ! ! Its embarrassing becaus e it looks like I dont clean it but I am TRYING! ! ! I have heard something about bicarb soda and white vinegar - anyone know if this works or not... . Im desperate! ! ! want a new oven because it looks that awful! ! !

The supermarket sells oven cleaners but another that is worthy of a try is the BBQ Cleaner.
Just allow it to stay for a while then give it the ole elbow grease job.
May need to do it a couple of times.
Cheers.

Or a paste of dishwasher powder and water left on the food patches for a while.

you could try an old one my nan used on her coal range.... teaspoon sea salt teaspoon bicarb and white vinegar make to a paste, apply liberally stand back and wait... about 5 min's then use an old tooth brush but don't turn the ring on or you will bake that to it as well, it used to make your black iron range shine.

Marley, don't panic. I have just discovered an oven cleaning gel made by Selleys which has removed gunk I thought I would never be able to shift. It is brushed on with the applicator on top of the bottle and left for 30 minutes then wiped off, or scrubbed off if it is really stubborn. It should be available at any supermarket.
Good luck, hope it works.
