Steak grease in oven

My H broiled steaks on a cast iron grilling pan. What a huge mess! The grease splattered all over the inside of the oven. Our smoke alarms kept going off. The inside of the oven is coated with grease. It is so bad that you can see it on the window. Help!

1) What do we use to clean it? The oven has the self-clean function. However, there is no way that I'm turning that on. With all of the steak grease, it will likely start a fire.

2) What should we do to avoid this in the future? My guess is to cover the steak with foil. He said it won't cook the same.

Re: Steak grease in oven

  • I would wipe out as much grease as possible and then use the self clean option.  I've had some greasy messes in my oven which I handled in the above way and didn't have any problems/fires etc

    Good luck! 

  • Thanks, KP. My H got some Easy Off and wiped it out this evening. I think we'll try the self clean function, too. It looks amazingly clean. In the bottom, it has small vents (not sure if that's what they're called). It looks like some grease is still down there. Hopefully, the self-clean will burn it out.

  • Be careful with the self clean if you've already used Easy Off.  I don't know about your oven (maybe check the manual), but mine says in BOLD RED letters to never use oven cleaning products like Easy Off.  Just a FYI.
