Here are expert tips for getting your oven in top condition.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Keep_Your_Oven_Clean\"><\/span>1. Keep Your Oven Clean<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To start, you should regularly clean your oven, especially if you notice a spill or a grease stain. Additionally, you\u2019ll want to undergo a deep clean on an annual basis.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your oven comes with a self-cleaning feature, you can use it once a year to get rid of the toughest stains. Keep in mind that this setting typically takes 5+ hours to run, so be sure you have the time to fully complete it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should also do a manual deep clean, especially if your oven is quite dirty. Be sure to unplug your oven before cleaning it. From here, you\u2019ll want to scrub the inside with a mix of baking soda and water (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/how-to-clean-an-oven\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">recommended \u00bd baking soda per three tablespoons of water<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). Spread this mix around the inside of your oven and let it sit overnight before wiping it up.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For other oven parts, such as racks, glass, and knobs, you can wipe them down with a cloth and a vinegar solution. Just be cautious with the oven knobs, as you don\u2019t want to get any cleaning solution into the oven wiring behind them. It is better to spray cleaning solution onto the cloth and then use it to wipe, rather than spray directly onto the oven, for this reason.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Calibrate_Your_Oven\"><\/span>2. Calibrate Your Oven<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before the holidays, it\u2019s also important to calibrate your oven. If you\u2019ve noticed that foods come out undercooked or overdone, the oven knobs may not accurately be displaying the temperature.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Calibrating your oven is simple. First, you\u2019ll want to get temperature readings. Use a high-quality thermometer and set it on a middle oven rack. Now preheat your oven to 350\u00b0. Once the oven indicates that it\u2019s ready, check the thermometer to see its temperature reading. If your oven is off by 5 degrees or more, it will need to be recalibrated.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every oven is unique, so calibrating it will depend on whether it\u2019s a manual or electronic control. You can get in-depth instructions in your user\u2019s manual, as well as some general guidelines <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/how-to-properly-calibrate-your-oven\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in our guide here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Pro tip: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your oven temperature is way off, your door seals (also called gaskets) may be damaged or warped. Once your oven has cooled down, check to see if they need to be replaced.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Know_Your_Oven_Settings\"><\/span>3. Know Your Oven Settings<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For successful holiday cooking, you\u2019ll also want to understand your oven settings. Newer models come with all kinds of settings, including convention, broiler, and more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should sit down with your user\u2019s manual to get to know your oven settings and what may be best for cooking a turkey, ham or another holiday meal. It\u2019s extremely common for home chefs to use their oven settings incorrectly, leading to unevenly cooked or externally burnt dishes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Dont_Skip_Preheating\"><\/span>4. Don\u2019t Skip Preheating<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s a reason why recipes call for preheating your oven first. Preheating is an essential step for getting evenly cooked dishes. In addition, it\u2019s important for food safety, as you need to bake your dish at the correct temperature to kill off harmful bacteria.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For a holiday turkey or ham, you\u2019ll want to preheat your oven at a higher temperature than the recipe calls for. When you put in the turkey, the oven will lose quite a bit of heat. In addition, it takes up a great deal of space in the oven, which means it needs more heat to get started. Of course, once your turkey is in the oven, you should turn down the temperature as the recipe states (usually 350\u00b0).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Check_Door_Gaskets\"><\/span>5. Check Door Gaskets<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The door gasket is a key part of your oven, as it ensures a proper seal to keep the oven hot. However, if the gasket is damaged or warped, your oven may lose heat, causing all kinds of problems when cooking.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When your oven is cool, take a close look at the door gaskets. Look for any cracked, warped or otherwise damaged seals. If you notice any, you\u2019ll need to buy a new oven door gasket and replace it as soon as possible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Clean_Out_the_Broiler_Pan\"><\/span>6. Clean Out the Broiler Pan<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The broiler setting on your oven is great for \u201cgrilling\u201d different types of foods. It utilizes high, direct heat to achieve crispy and flavorful dishes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That said, you should regularly clean your broiler pan. Often this pan slides out of the oven, so you can easily scrub it down with liquid soap and water. Do this after every broiler meal, otherwise grease and other stains can build up. If you have an especially dirty broiler pan, consider soaking it overnight.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Oil_the_Oven_Racks\"><\/span>7. Oil the Oven Racks<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another great holiday trick is to oil your oven racks so that they easily slide in and out as you cook this season. This only takes a few minutes and will spare you trying to pry out racks when they\u2019re full of food. Simply use a food-safe oil on the rack hinges and wipe away any excess.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Have_a_Smoke_Detector_Installed_and_a_Fire_Extinguisher_Nearby\"><\/span>8. Have a Smoke Detector Installed and a Fire Extinguisher Nearby<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s vital that you stay safe when using your oven this season. In case of emergency, you should always have a smoke detector installed near your kitchen, as well as have a fire extinguisher on hand.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, you can <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hopkinsmedicine.org\/health\/wellness-and-prevention\/tis-the-season-for-holiday-cooking-safety\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">prevent kitchen fires by staying alert as you cook<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Keep flammable items away from the stovetop, clear any tripping hazards and never leave cooking food unattended.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Troubleshoot_Oven_Issues_as_Needed\"><\/span>9. Troubleshoot Oven Issues as Needed<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While ovens can last up to 15-20 years, it\u2019s important to keep them well-maintained. If you notice any issues with your oven this season, you should troubleshoot for common issues and buy any replacement parts as needed. Some tasks to complete include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inspect the gas line<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clean the range hood filter<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check the thermocouples<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lubricate the blower motor<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Replace any damaged burners<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Still can\u2019t pinpoint the problem? You can get even more oven <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/?s=oven+fixes\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">troubleshooting guidelines on our blog here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pressure_Cooker_Crockpot_Tips_for_Holiday_Cooking\"><\/span>Pressure Cooker &#038; Crockpot Tips for Holiday Cooking<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re keen on using your pressure cooker or crockpot this season, you should also keep it well-maintained. Since maintenance on pressure cookers and crockpots are distinct from ovens, our experts have outlined some key steps to ensure best usage with these appliances.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Get_Liquid_Levels_Right\"><\/span>1. Get Liquid Levels Right<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Closing your crockpot without the right level of liquid can be disastrous. Pressure cookers and crockpots rely on having plenty of liquid in order to generate steam during the cooking process. Without liquid, your foods are likely to burn and stick to the pot. Follow your user\u2019s manual for recommendations on the right amount of liquid to add.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Dont_Overfill\"><\/span>2. Don\u2019t Overfill<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though it may seem obvious, don\u2019t go over the maximum fill line on your pressure cooker. Keep in mind that grains such as rice and pasta will also expand during cooking, so you don\u2019t want to overfill the pot and create a blow-out situation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Safely_Release_Pressure\"><\/span>3. Safely Release Pressure<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you turn the heat off your pressure cooker, it will start to release steam gradually. Let the pot follow this process to safely release the pressure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, most pressure cookers have a safety valve in case the pot gets too hot. If you need to, you can also make use of this valve, but be cautious. Wear protective gloves if you need to open the valve and follow your user manual\u2019s instructions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, never force the lid open on a pressure cooker, as this can be dangerous and lead to burn accidents. Instead, allow the pot to release steam gradually.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Clean_It_Thoroughly\"><\/span>4. Clean It Thoroughly<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After every use, clean your crockpot thoroughly. Run it under running water, scrub it with dish soap, and remove the gasket for a deep clean. Be sure it\u2019s completely dry before storing it as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Troubleshoot_Frequent_Problems_as_Needed\"><\/span>5.

However, once a year, you should also perform a deep clean. To help you get a spick-and-span oven, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/how-to-clean-an-oven\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">follow our expert instructions here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_Should_I_Use_the_Self-Cleaning_Oven_Function\"><\/span>When Should I Use the Self-Cleaning Oven Function?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/how-does-a-self-cleaning-oven-work\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">self-cleaning oven function<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can be handy for burning away difficult-to-remove stains. However, you should only use this function occasionally (once a year) and on moderately dirty ovens. This feature is hard on your oven, and overusing it can break the appliance. If your oven is severely dirty, you should manually deep clean it first.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Shouldnt_Go_in_the_Oven\"><\/span>What Shouldn\u2019t Go in the Oven?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flammable items should never go in the oven, such as plastic or paper products. You should also be cautious about your clothing near the oven. Avoid approaching the oven while wearing scarves or loose sleeves, as they could catch fire. In addition, take care that you don\u2019t place empty glassware in the oven, which may overheat without food inside.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_It_Matter_Where_You_Put_Food_in_the_Oven\"><\/span>Does It Matter Where You Put Food in the Oven?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/a-simple-guide-to-oven-hot-spots\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">placement of food may change how it\u2019s cooked<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Overall, the middle rack is the best place to evenly cook foods, while the top of the oven is hotter and good for browning foods. You should also take care that baking sheets and pans don\u2019t touch each other or the oven doors, otherwise, air circulation in the oven may be restricted and cause uneven cooking.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Likely_Is_It_That_a_Pressure_Cooker_Explodes\"><\/span>How Likely Is It That a Pressure Cooker Explodes?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While a pressure cooker will rarely explode, this event may cause severe burns due to the high temperature of the food inside it. Typically, a pressure cooker will explode due to improper usage by the consumer, such as overfilling it. Other issues, such as damaged gaskets, clogged vents or a defective part can also lead to a pressure cooker exploding.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Check_Also\"><\/span>Check Also:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/range-cooktop-oven-parts.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oven Parts<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/how-to-clean-an-oven\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Clean an Oven<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/how-to-properly-calibrate-your-oven\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Calibrate Your Oven (the Easy Way!)<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/a-simple-guide-to-oven-hot-spots\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Simple Guide to Oven Hot Spots<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/gas-range-not-heating-evenly-top-4-reasons-and-fixes-with-video\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gas Range Not Heating Evenly: Top 4 Reasons and Fixes (With Video!)<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/electric-oven-not-heating-when-broiling-top-5-reasons-fixes-with-video\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Electric Oven Not Heating When Broiling: Top 5 Reasons &#038; Fixes (With Video!)<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/oven-door-wont-close-4-reasons-fixes-with-video\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oven Door Won\u2019t Close: 4 Reasons &#038; Fixes (With Video!)<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/how-does-a-self-cleaning-oven-work\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How Does a Self-Cleaning Oven Work?<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/how-to-replace-a-glass-cooktop-assembly-with-video\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Replace a Range\/Stove Glass Cooktop Assembly (With Video!)<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/how-to-replace-oven-door-inner-glass\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Replace Oven Door Inner Glass<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/8-tips-to-prep-your-kitchen-for-a-holiday-feast\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8 Tips to Prep Your Kitchen for a Holiday Feast<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/8-ways-to-keep-your-kitchen-safe-this-holiday-season\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8 Ways to Keep Your Kitchen Safe This Holiday Season<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This holiday season, perform preventive maintenance on your oven, pressure cooker and\/or crockpot so that you\u2019re ready to handle all your tastiest recipes with little to no interruptions.
