I just make a paste of bicarb and water, brush it in thick layers on the oven interior (including the metal 'rails'). Heat up the oven on medium, then turn it off and leave it to cool for half an hour. Then all you need to do is gently scrape off the bicarb paste which has dried out and turned brown with the charcoal residue. Voila!

It needs that, I do mine about every six months. Don't use olive oil because after a few months on the board it will go rancid.

We've been living the frugal, simple life for a few years now while attempting to clear a large amount of personal debt. Blogs like yours have been extremely inspiring and supportive during this time, because living like this can feel quite isolating at times. Yesterday, I paid a lump sum into our final loan to clear it, and, for the first time in years, we are debt free, 20 months earlier than planned. What a great feeling! The next stage is to build up our emergency fund a bit more and to get rid of the mortgage in 5 years. I will keep reading your blog. To other readers - don't ever give up! xSusanMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09622557936441532144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-71683100975822418652013-11-25T07:53:37.940+10:002013-11-25T07:53:37.940+10:00Hi Rhonda,
