Oven Hoods: The oil magnet!
Oven hoods not only absorb odours, they are also a magnet for fat and oil. If you don’t remove it early enough, it will start to clog up the oven hoods, making it tough to thoroughly clean them out. A simple trick would be to wash them in the dishwasher: place the filters horizontally on the top compartment of the machine. Make sure to run the dishwasher without other dirty dishes to avoid catching food residues in the filters.
If you do not have a dishwasher, place the stopper in the sink and fill it up with water. Add a double dose of washing liquid into the water and place the filters in the sink. Leave them to soak for a couple of minutes, scrub them thoroughly with a brush and then repeat the process. Don’t neglect the inside of the oven hood: rinse off the accumulated oil and fat and dry thoroughly, with a 100% cotton cloth.
