What is the best way to clean an electric oven?

There are several electric oven cleaners on the market. When you are doing your weekly shopping, go up the cleaning aisle and take a look. If you have a self cleaning oven, make sure you get a cleaner that is suitable for this type of oven. These products tend to come in liquid or foam. Rubbing or spraying them into your oven and leaving them for a few hours will loosen most of the dirt. Then you will be able to wipe the residue off with a damp cloth. For stubborn patches, use a pan scrubber.
