Catalytic oven cleaning

Many people like baked meat in the oven, but there are very few who wash the oven after cooking. And it does not depend on the cost of the oven itself, because you will spend the same amount of time and effort. The problem of cleaning the oven concerned not only the hostess, but also the manufacturers of ovens. That is why some ovens have removable doors, sliding carts, and inside the oven are covered with various types of enamel.

The most convenient of these devices is self-cleaning function, one of them is catalytic. This method is used for both built-in ovens and freestanding cookers.

What is catalytic oven cleaning?

The meaning of the catalytic method of cleaning the ovenconcluded in the following: the inside of the oven is covered with a special rough porous material (enamel), in the pores of which most of the fat and dirt remain. Specialized properties of surfaces accelerate the process of oxidation of fat by oxygen and at very high temperatures (2000 C and above) fat and contaminants break down into water and carbon (in the form of soot).

The process of cleaning the oven takes place directly while cooking dishes in it. But too stubborn stains of fat can be cleaned only after repeated catalytic cleaning. The level of cleaning by this method is not so high, unlike pyrolytic.

Most often, special enamel covers the side and back walls of the oven, and in some cases the fan blades. The lower part is almost never covered with this material. This is due to the fact that catalytic enamel can harm products such as sugar and milk and when preparing a number of dishes, such as baking, these products can leak out of the pan and get to the surface of the oven. In this case, you will have to clean it by hand, but remember that it is not recommended to clean it with rough cloths and abrasive powders.

"Shelf life" plates with the function of catalytic cleaning

The catalytic coating of the walls of the oven does not last forever, with time it loses its properties and there is a need to replace it, most often this can happen after 5 years of operation of the oven. But if you use the oven much more often than usual, it can break down much earlier. Do not worry, because now sold special removable panels for ovens with catalytic self-cleaning function.

If you notice that your oven began to get dirty much more often, it will be enough to replace the old panels with new ones, you can do it manually, following the instructions for use. If you are not sure that you can handle this on your own, then it is better to contact a service center.

Some manufacturers use double-sided coatings for side panels: after one side is no longer suitable, simply flip the panels.

Where to find stoves and ovens with catalytic cleaning function?

Stand-alone stoves and ovens with a catalytic cleaning function can be easily found in home appliances stores. Almost all manufacturers have products with such a function, but more often than not gas stoves have this property.

Such devices are much cheaper than devices with pyrolytic self-cleaning function - about 20,000 rubles. When buying such a plate, carefully inspect it.
