It looks amazing. I'm happy she used a real life toaster oven because let's face it, few people really clean their air fryer or toaster ovens every single time!! I'd be very nervous about getting anything in those heating elements.
I use a spray bottle mix of vinegar and water and then baking soda...used it on an oven that when I moved in no one ever cleaned and it SOOO worked and helped!
Hey, apparently the baking soda and vinegar thing is a bust. I don't know much about chemistry, but chemists have posted that It only works while it is bubbling. But then the baking soda chemically neutralizes the acid in the vinegar, and you are left with basically...water.
@@cairographics yep Mixing baking soda and vinegar for cleaning isn't effective because they neutralize each other. Vinegar is acidic and baking soda is alkaline. When combined, they react and form mostly water and sodium acetate, reducing their cleaning power.
Holy guacamole! Thanks for showing us a realistic sticky toaster oven. This was great time lapse.. And the reminder to do in layers. And a striped sweater...wow
I did this just a couple months ago , it was my MIL and she is in her 80's and just bought a new instead of cleaning the one she had. Dawn power wash did amazing job!!! I
I like the copper coated scouring pads for scrubbing stainless steel pots without scratching them the way SOS/steel wool can. I’ve certainly used SOS pads on my toaster oven rack, but Power Wash wasn’t around then. I’ll have to try the DW pod hack. I also line the toaster oven crumb tray with heavy duty aluminum foil for quick cleanup.
I second, third, fourth the idea of putting plastic wrap over the cleaner you use. I've also used plastic wrap over Easy-Off fume freea cleaner and let it sit. Finally, the next time you're at Dollar Tree, get little brushes from the crafts aisle. It's good for getting crumbs out where the door meets the rest of the oven. Finally, I always wrap the crumb tray in foil. Some manufacturers don't recommend doing that, but they're not the ones who are cleaning my toaster oven.
I need this and will try it, thank you for giving the names of the tried and true products! My mom taught me but back in Poland and here in Canada we have completely different products. I'm excited to bring my toaster oven back to it's former glory!
Red Deer! Used to own a cottage on Gull Lake years ago. Spent lots of time in Red Deer with friends. Miss being in that beautiful part of Alberta. Cheers from Arizona.

Instructions to my Breville toaster oven state not to even touch the elements. And I'd like to see someone finish cleaning an oven and turning it on to see if it still works.
Back in the late 70s I had a big, self cleaning toaster. Why don’t they make those anymore? Nothing crusted over. I just used a sponge a With dish liquid to clean up the ashes, and used harsher chemicals for the door
I use baking sheets and baking bags as much as possible. Also, cleaning after every use makes all of the difference in the world. Just like pots and pans, after each use. Nothing on elements.
I don’t know about spraying cleaners of any kind over the controls as it gets into the wiring. I’m not sold on Dawn power clean seeing as you used sos pads to scrub while the dawn was still in the machine
@@amandalopez7435 I don't use the Dawn Powerwash on the interior of anything that would be heated up or in contact with food. It ruined my oven door because I was trying to clean the interior and it soaked in behind the oven window and couldn't be properly rinsed out. I took the door apart and tried to wipe it away but every time I turned on my oven, it smelled like burning Dawn Powerwash.
Yep probably so. I noticed she never turned her toaster oven on to show us it still worked. So maybe she ruined hers too. It looked beautifully clean but probably didnt work afterwards
But what procedure do you use to do it? Do you combine the Dawn and baking soda? Do you scrub with Dawn and then pour baking soda on and let sit? Without instructions, just knowing the cleaning products doesn’t help (at least for me.)
Here's a good trick to keep the vertical walls of the oven soaking in the product: After spraying the walls thoroughly with product, immediately cover with plastic wrap. This will not only keep the product covering all surfaces, but it stops the products from drying out. Even if you leave it overnight, the product will stay wet, and therefore continue cleaning. Cleaning will be much easier after soaking for more time.
But how do you get the plastic wrap to stick to the walls of the toaster oven to keep it up there? Also, there's some kind of cheese or something that fell into the heating element itself of my toaster oven and I don't know how to get it out. Any suggestions?
@@amylynn3353 I'm not the person you are asking, but to answer your first question: typically the plastic wrap just stays up and stuck by itself because it's so light. So it clings to the product, which clings to the walls of the oven, and doesn't typically slide down. There is no trick to keeping it up.
@@amylynn3353 If you still have that bit of food that fell into the element, it should burn off. Turn the temp up high and let it burn the food off. Think how a self-cleaning oven works, the temp gets so high in the oven it turns the guck to ash. Not saying that will happen in a toaster oven, but food will burn off.
I use Easy Off degreaser. I spray it and then coat where I sprayed with cling wrap. This would work on the drip tray too. The cling film keeps the degreaser moist. This works well on pots and pans too.
Thank you, I just got an air fryer so I will do this often so it doesn't get so bad. Thanks for explain the difference between the power wash Dawn and the regular Dawn. I thought it was just watered down Dawn.
I used to clean industrial pizza ovens. I would always finish with a light coat of baby oil. It would give it a nice finish. The oil would also create a layer under any future grease and it would be easier to clean next time.
Didn’t she say something about the “non-stick surface” inside? And don’t you want to avoid scratching that off? That’s why I thought SOS pads would be a no-no.
I use baking sheets and baking bags as much as possible. Also, cleaning after every use makes all of the difference in the world. Just like pots and pans, after each use. Nothing on elements.
That's an option but many manufacturers recommend not doing that because the oven could get too hot. Might have something to do with how reflective it is and it being that close to the burner because they do say you can cook with an aluminum foil pan perfectly fine and cover the food with foil. Seems like many people do a line ithe crumb with foil without issue.
Mine is way dirtier than this 😩 I didn't know that was a crumb tray and thought it was just burned so this give me hope. But I can't believe you also did this in a white sweater?! 🙌🏽
Looks like the same toaster oven I have. How would you get the inside top of the oven clean? Mine is disgusting and I have tried to clean it but, it's really hard to get at, even turning upside down and elements are in the way. The door gets in the way too. We use ours alot, especially in the summer.
I put foil on the bottom of mine and change it once in a while. My problem is the window glass. It is looking very bad. I am going to clean it. Thanks!
You should NOT use SOS pads ! They cause micro abrasions and will damage the surfaces. Use a soft sponge instead and microfiber cloths. It takes a little longer but is worth it ! Rince everything with water and a bit of lemon juice after.
People might not realize, but the stuff in Brillo pads and SOS has an ingredient that, while seeming to polish a pot’s interior, once heated it burns just enough so it necessitates scrubbing all over again! I use Dobie pads with various mild abrasive creams, when needed.
@RoyalSnowbird - Thank you for letting me know not to use SOS pads. I’ve been doing that just only on the glass. I don’t know how to clean the entire toaster oven. Been trying to get my parents to clean their toaster oven, but I clean both trays, glass window, and just recently did the tray with lines. I’ve been using dawn, Micheal Meyer’s, regular sponges and paper towels to clean the lined tray, both trays, and the outside. The microfiber cloth, I tried to use a couple of times, but it ended up ruining the cloth. Even if it went through the washer and dryer, the stains are there and the cloth doesn’t feel like it was before. What type of microfiber cloths do you use?
@@AnnaSusannaFinkelstein-bd7ul You need to check your eyesight as SOS pads do leave scratches. I am a professional in my field accredited by the gov. and must apply health and safety measures as well in my line of work... I could add that SOS pads leave micro shreds of metal which you can ingest in your food and unless you do a super wipe down of ALL surfaces here, you are risking your health and safety. I am almost as old as you and have years of experience under my belt and have taken specialized courses to get where I am today which is a huge step above the 'average bear' in my domain..@AnnaSusannaFinkelstein-bd7ul
The best way to clean a toaster oven is to stay on top of it and never allow it to get this bad. I say this from experience. My TO was so bad when I moved, I just threw away a perfectly working oven. I was so overwhelmed with it. I’ve owned two since and both stayed clean throughout their lifetimes. One just stopped working. As soon as a little buildup or crumbs start. It gets a thorough cleaning. Then it takes about 5 minutes. Same for microwaves and ovens. I learned my cleaning lessons the hard way.😅😅
I used easy off in my toaster oven BEFORE learning that is a huge no no and now I cannot for the life of me get the smell out. Did I ruin mine for good? :(
This just on time for the holidays. I have the Ninja foodi convection smart oven toaster. I used it once for the day I bought it for that Christmas and maybe used 3 times since the most. I went to just using my air fryer. I need to clean both the air fryer needs it more but I don't know if I can use Dawn power wash on the fan area?🤔 That's definitely is where the fan gets gunked up the most then burns out quickly. I lost another off name toster oven like that. I will try all of these you didn't say which dish pod to use my guess this is like a Cascade? I don't have a dishwasher so I don't know.🤔 Thanks so much for doing this video... I was about to risk it all and use easyoff I bought now I'll take it back because of this video. 😂😂😂 Thank you 😊👍🏾❤
I think the rounded end of those oven racks are supposed to go towards the back if you noticed the shape of the back end of that oven. I know that's not your oven but it seems to be one of the ones that can accommodate like a 12-inch Pizza
OK, I was just wondering if you’ve ever tried a dryer sheet in water to soak out a filthy dish or pan? I did and it worked extremely well. I am going to try your tips here on my toaster oven which I love but I use daily! Thanks for this!
We have never tried that or heard of that, in our experience the dishwasher tab soaking overnight is usually the best. But we will put that on our radar.
That’s exactly what I do in both the toaster oven and microwave. Once everything is softened then a swipe with a non abrasive cleaning sponge or magic erase a tough spots and I’m done. Trays and racks get a quick soak and wash after use. A paste of barkeepers friend gets any tough spots - done.
Toaster oven are great in the summer so don't have to heat up the kitchen if you want to make biscuits or bake a pie or pizza. In the winter they are good for heating plates to keep meal warm I use mine daily for lots of things oddly enough not for toast. Lol
I just replaced ours it was so well worn. I went a bit larger and got a deal on one with a built in air fryer (which I’ve yet to use 🤷♀️). I rarely use the full size oven as this does the trick for small trays of grilled veg or a couple of pieces of fish. And yes - it definitely keeps the house much cooler. It’s not too difficult to clean if grime isn’t allowed to accumulate. A little paste of barkeepers friend on splatters immediately after use and it easily rinses & wipes clean. Cheers!
I recently stayed at my daughter's place. Her toaster oven gave me nightmares. The Virgo in me is compelled to clean that sucker on my next visit. I'll be going armed for action. Thx for the cleaning demo.
What about the vents on the inside? Mine personally have more then this one had, but I’m terrified of spraying dawn or mister clean onto that side because I would basically be spraying it into all the in workings of the machine. Is this safe for that
You could always just think of it as "seasoned" and leave it alone as long as it's not smoking when you cook with it. Mine is grungy but works fine. So tricky not to get liquids into the heating elements. Don't want it to short out or worse. But you don't have to use the sprayer for many products. If it's non-aerosol just shake if directed to and open the container and pour onto a sponge or rag and apply by wiping onto the surface. If it is a pressurized aerosol can, just spray into some container (maybe outdoors) to get the liquid and apply by hand into tricky crevasses. Use cotton swabs or whatever to wipe it out dry. Don't risk getting liquid into the electrical parts. I would sure like to have seen what happened when the machine in the video was finally plugged in and turned on. BTW, those trays were in backwards at the start and end of the video. Seems like the rounded edges would have gone toward the rounded back of the machine interior.
There's some kind of cheese or grease or something that fell into the heating element itself of my toaster oven and I don't know how to get it out. Any suggestions?
I wouldn't use Dawn Powerwash on the interior of anything that will be heated up or in contact with food. It ruined my oven door because it soaked in and couldn't be properly rinsed out enough because it is SO concentrated.
If you wrap foil around the top and a bit of the sides of the crumb tray it will keep it cleaner. Then you just have to toss the dirty foil away and put new foil around the tray
Dawn Professional Power Disolver Spray. It comes in a white spray container. I tried to link a picture, but it would not link. My daughter worked at a chain restraurant and they used this to clean the pot/pans. She told me about it and now I use it on everything. It is not a strong odor and can be used indoors. Nice job on the toaster oven
Thanks for the great tips and all your hard work. You are, of course, insane but luv ya just the same. If the oven isn't smoking and it's cooking fine, I would just put a cloth cover over it when not in use or buy a new one. That size oven is pretty cheap and probably took years to get that dirty. It wouldn't owe me anything. I'd rather work at my job to earn the money for a new one than spend my leisure time scrubbing a toaster oven for hours on end. But you're likely making some cash for what you do and we appreciate it too.
Thanks so much for your help I believe it just takes a little time an Clean more frequently like each time you use it or maybe baking soda my help I really just do know but I am working on my on it looks a little better but I did not try as much so I am getting to work on it again with a cleaning product i really appreciate your product an information Thanks I am really afraid of fire thank
We have an air fryer cleaning video actually - very similar idea to cleaning a toaster oven. ua-cam.com/video/d8cQCE87G0w/v-deo.htmlsi=FlATxBjA03YED90J
Transcript button doesn't work. Trying to get the name of the last product you used to wipe the exterior. Wyman's? Lyman's? Weiman -- found it on Amazon.
I would NOT spray water directly on the elements to rinse. Use a clean wet cloth to wipe any cleaner or burnt on debris. You may have to do this a few times. Just keep rinsing the cloth and wiping. And yes, leave the door open to dry out before plugging in and using. Over night is a great idea.
Yes you can, we use power wash on ovens all the time. We bust out the oven cleaner when it is really bad. For a toaster oven we felt it was safest to avoid oven cleaner and stick to power wash.
Bravo!!! I also have a keen attention to and for detail. Kitchen appliances IMHO ought NEVER get as greasy, grimy, or have BAKED ON, encrusted residual gunk burned on. I have vastly different characterization of what “PROPERLY” clean is. Have always gone high end with kitchen appliances. Wolf, Viking, Sub Zero, and Kitchenaid etc. Special ordered a Kitchenaid 1800W digital Convection countertop toaster over in a Bimini Caribbean Turquoise Blue for my better half. It was over $600.00. My profession kept me away on the West Coast of the USA, then, 14 months on the other side of the globe. The poor appliance looks as if it has never been cleaned!!! I am happy to see how yours came out. May dive into next week! Thank you so much for your post!

How do you rinse the burn element to get the soap out from scrubbing, without ruining it?
Wipe clean with a clean cloth and hot water. You should do this several times. Leave the door open to dry over night before you plug in and use.
Is it safe to saturate the oven with a water based product? I'd be afraid to plug it back in.

Yes! That's the way to do it. If you stay on top of things, and clean regularly they last so much longer. Cleaning is maintenance!
I always put aluminum foil on the bottom crum tray. Then easy peasy too keep it from getting disgusting, and just have to change the foil
What about the top and sides of the inside?
I used easy off in my toaster oven BEFORE learning that is a huge no no and now I cannot for the life of me get the smell out. Did I ruin mine for good? :(
Thank you😊
I have a toaster oven/air fryer/ convection overnncombo. Would the dawn work on that too
That’s my question too!
We just did ours with rubbing alcohol (dawn power spray didn’t work on the grease). The toaster oven looks brand new!
I cover the crumb tray and cooking sheet with foil and when it gets gunky I can replace the foil instead of scrubbing them.
This just on time for the holidays. I have the Ninja foodi convection smart oven toaster. I used it once for the day I bought it for that Christmas and maybe used 3 times since the most. I went to just using my air fryer. I need to clean both the air fryer needs it more but I don't know if I can use Dawn power wash on the fan area?🤔 That's definitely is where the fan gets gunked up the most then burns out quickly. I lost another off name toster oven like that. I will try all of these you didn't say which dish pod to use my guess this is like a Cascade? I don't have a dishwasher so I don't know.🤔 Thanks so much for doing this video... I was about to risk it all and use easyoff I bought now I'll take it back because of this video. 😂😂😂 Thank you 😊👍🏾❤
I think the rounded end of those oven racks are supposed to go towards the back if you noticed the shape of the back end of that oven. I know that's not your oven but it seems to be one of the ones that can accommodate like a 12-inch Pizza
OK, I was just wondering if you’ve ever tried a dryer sheet in water to soak out a filthy dish or pan? I did and it worked extremely well. I am going to try your tips here on my toaster oven which I love but I use daily! Thanks for this!
We have never tried that or heard of that, in our experience the dishwasher tab soaking overnight is usually the best. But we will put that on our radar.
Is it okay to use Dawn power wash in a situation like this where you're not going to be able to rinse it off?
You are Ahhhhmazing! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I wonder if this would also work in an air-fryer?…🦋🦋🦋
We have an air fryer video...and yes pretty similar. Dawn Power wash for the win!

Boil a couple of cups of water put it in the oven, turn the temperature
all the way up and the steam will take a lot of that stuff out
oooh that is a very good idea.
Don't stop there, put baking soda and vinegar in the water to speed up the process and disinfect too.
That’s exactly what I do in both the toaster oven and microwave. Once everything is softened then a swipe with a non abrasive cleaning sponge or magic erase a tough spots and I’m done. Trays and racks get a quick soak and wash after use. A paste of barkeepers friend gets any tough spots - done.
Toaster oven are great in the summer so don't have to heat up the kitchen if you want to make biscuits or bake a pie or pizza. In the winter they are good for heating plates to keep meal warm I use mine daily for lots of things oddly enough not for toast. Lol
These are very good ideas!
I just replaced ours it was so well worn. I went a bit larger and got a deal on one with a built in air fryer (which I’ve yet to use 🤷♀️). I rarely use the full size oven as this does the trick for small trays of grilled veg or a couple of pieces of fish. And yes - it definitely keeps the house much cooler. It’s not too difficult to clean if grime isn’t allowed to accumulate. A little paste of barkeepers friend on splatters immediately after use and it easily rinses & wipes clean. Cheers!
Ive had good luck using bar keepers friend on the outside of my toaster oven
I recently stayed at my daughter's place. Her toaster oven gave me nightmares. The Virgo in me is compelled to clean that sucker on my next visit. I'll be going armed for action. Thx for the cleaning demo.
How do you removed the metal guards off the heat element ?
Great job! I need to do mine… should I just go straight in with Mr. Clean if it’s like this toaster oven? How long do I let it sit? Thanks!
How long can switch on the oven after cleaning?
To be safe I would let it dry out over night with the door left open.
What about the vents on the inside? Mine personally have more then this one had, but I’m terrified of spraying dawn or mister clean onto that side because
I would basically be spraying it into all the in workings of the machine. Is this safe for that
I have the same question. My oven is similar, I'm scared I'd ruin it!
You could always just think of it as "seasoned" and leave it alone as long as it's not smoking when you cook with it. Mine is grungy but works fine. So tricky not to get liquids into the heating elements. Don't want it to short out or worse. But you don't have to use the sprayer for many products. If it's non-aerosol just shake if directed to and open the container and pour onto a sponge or rag and apply by wiping onto the surface. If it is a pressurized aerosol can, just spray into some container (maybe outdoors) to get the liquid and apply by hand into tricky crevasses. Use cotton swabs or whatever to wipe it out dry. Don't risk getting liquid into the electrical parts. I would sure like to have seen what happened when the machine in the video was finally plugged in and turned on. BTW, those trays were in backwards at the start and end of the video. Seems like the rounded edges would have gone toward the rounded back of the machine interior.
There's some kind of cheese or grease or something that fell into the heating element itself of my toaster oven and I don't know how to get it out. Any suggestions?
How do you get all that soap out of toaster oven since you can’t rinse it?
Clean cloth with hot water, keep wiping and rinsing the cloth out.
I use clorax especially when I burn the beans. I put clorax in The pan and let it sit over night, next morning it is spotless
I wouldn't use Dawn Powerwash on the interior of anything that will be heated up or in contact with food. It ruined my oven door because it soaked in and couldn't be properly rinsed out enough because it is SO concentrated.
What is lyman?
You're a hoot to watch! Will give it a go.😀
Thanks
👍👍👍beautiful work
If you wrap foil around the top and a bit of the sides of the crumb tray it will keep it cleaner. Then you just have to toss the dirty foil away and put new foil around the tray
Dawn Professional Power Disolver Spray. It comes in a white spray container. I tried to link a picture, but it would not link. My daughter worked at a chain restraurant and they used this to clean the pot/pans. She told me about it and now I use it on everything. It is not a strong odor and can be used indoors. Nice job on the toaster oven
don't have dawn power wash in Australia... I'll have to google for an alternative i guess 🙁
Fairy liquid ❤
Breville tells you to not use abrasive scour pads as can remove the protective coating
Does dawn power wash have ammonia in it? The only thing that usually cuts grease is ammonia.
Thanks for the great tips and all your hard work. You are, of course, insane but luv ya just the same. If the oven isn't smoking and it's cooking fine, I would just put a cloth cover over it when not in use or buy a new one. That size oven is pretty cheap and probably took years to get that dirty. It wouldn't owe me anything. I'd rather work at my job to earn the money for a new one than spend my leisure time scrubbing a toaster oven for hours on end. But you're likely making some cash for what you do and we appreciate it too.
This is a great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Excellent demonstration! BUT why are you wearing such a beautiful top! When I get around to cleaning my TO, I'll have to wear a hazmat suit. 🤣
Maybe use one of those pads that you use on glass stove tops.
Thanks so much for your help I believe it just takes a little time an Clean more frequently like each time you use it or maybe baking soda my help I really just do know but I am working on my on it looks a little better but I did not try as much so I am getting to work on it again with a cleaning product i really appreciate your product an information Thanks I am really afraid of fire thank
Can I use this same method + cleaning products to clean a Ninja Foodi 8-in-1 air fryer oven?
We have an air fryer cleaning video actually - very similar idea to cleaning a toaster oven.

I’m not seeing if the Tineco winner was announced yet? Good luck everyone 😊
Transcript button doesn't work. Trying to get the name of the last product you used to wipe the exterior. Wyman's? Lyman's? Weiman -- found it on Amazon.
Can you spray water on the elements to rinse them? Should you leave the door down overnight to dry it out?
I would NOT spray water directly on the elements to rinse. Use a clean wet cloth to wipe any cleaner or burnt on debris. You may have to do this a few times. Just keep rinsing the cloth and wiping. And yes, leave the door open to dry out before plugging in and using. Over night is a great idea.
Can you use the Powerwash on ovens when you cannot use oven cleaner?
Yes you can, we use power wash on ovens all the time. We bust out the oven cleaner when it is really bad. For a toaster oven we felt it was safest to avoid oven cleaner and stick to power wash.
We cannot use oven cleaner due to having a parrot. Thanks@@gocleanco
;rillow can scratch the coating
Is the wetness cause electric wont work?
Let dry fully before plugging back in and using. Leave the door open and sit for 24 hours if you want to be super safe.
Bravo!!! I also have a keen attention to and for detail. Kitchen appliances IMHO ought NEVER get as greasy, grimy, or have BAKED ON, encrusted residual gunk burned on. I have vastly different characterization of what “PROPERLY” clean is. Have always gone high end with kitchen appliances. Wolf, Viking, Sub Zero, and Kitchenaid etc. Special ordered a Kitchenaid 1800W digital Convection countertop toaster over in a Bimini Caribbean Turquoise Blue for my better half. It was over $600.00. My profession kept me away on the West Coast of the USA, then, 14 months on the other side of the globe. The poor appliance looks as if it has never been cleaned!!! I am happy to see how yours came out. May dive into next week! Thank you so much for your post!
