Yes I got one of those...


Thats what reminded me I needed to clean my oven.


?49.00 upwards is a bit expensive.


Thanks for replying though...


Fox..

Another recommendation for Oven Pride. But be warned it's pretty strong stuff. When I last used it, I put the oven racks into the bag provided and some of the cleaning solution leaked out, marking my wooden worktop. Having said that, if used properly and with caution it's very effective at shifting all that burnt on grime!

For the bastad bits I have used Spirits of Salts but it's a dangerous liquid, 37% hydrochloric acid, eats anything organic and I find that includes oven filth.

be extremely careful with it though. Dulwich DIY do 500ml (?3) or 1 litre bottles (?4).

Wear rubber gloves, protect your arms and wear builders goggles and don't breath the fumes. If it sizzles it's found something organic, hopefully not your skin !

Good morning DulwichFox,



I have an electric oven with induction hob which needed some loving, I considered massaging her with all the leading brands. My concern being the very toxic leading brands happen to badly effect some seals and are not plesent to use. My method being to use baking soda, ensuring the oven/hob is cooled before damping down lightly using a spray bottle is good. I then sprinkle baking soda over the damp oven areas leaving to work its magic. After a nice cup of tea simply scrub up and repeat if need be. It works a treat on the oven window and I feel it way more effective than most toxic foams and sprays.

    • Just a quick post to say that my restaurant reviews column is now one year old. There are 45 reviews here* - mostly of local places (some sadly now defunct, others thriving). There are a couple of recipes from a period when I couldn't afford to eat out, a couple of moans about my health when I couldn't eat out on doctor's orders and a couple of reviews beyond our manor. But the main thing is that it is a free, useful guide to local dining and, I hope, an entertaining read. You can, of course, pay to subscribe or follow for free to get the reviews directly into your inbox as I don't want to spam EDF with every review (doctor says I'm not allowed spam anyway). The pictures below come from my two most popular reviews - Persepolis (new SE22 spin-off opening soon) and Norbert's, a great addition to East Dulwich. Please have a read and please consider subscribing. Did I mention you can subscribe for free?   https://eatsdulwich.substack.com/  *It would have been 46 but one review didn't run because the meal was so disappointing. I try not to be negative. To paraphrase Boyzone (or is it Westlife?) I said it best by saying nothing at all. 
    • I'd like to recommend Andy - came out very last minute to help us with a rental property that was having plumbing issues. We couldn't source the problem but Andy was able to find it / fix it easily & took the stress out of the problem. We have booked him again to put in a new bath for us now too as we were so happy with this work.    Lovely fella - thoroughly recommend using! Andy's number is 07983 688 451
    • If you're looking for a reasonably priced gym, there are a couple of PureGyms not too far away in Camberwell and Peckham. They're less than £20 a month with no joining fee. If you're looking to get fitter and / or lose weight, and you don't have any mobility issues, then download the coach to 5k app and start running. It's by far the easiest, quickest and cheapest way to improve your cardiovascular fitness and it's great for clearing your head!
