Never clean the bottom of your oven again

by pam kueber on September 24, 2009

non-stick-oven-linerFor those of us living deprived of a self-cleaning oven, the Vermont Country Store offers a non-stick oven liner. You put it on the bottom of your oven to catch drips. You then can pull it out and wipe it clean. Guess I will have to get one of these. But, I will need to check, first, if it’s parakeet-friendly. Also, for who is going to make the pie. New this fall, $14.95 online at Vermont Country Store.

when you find the pie maker, could you send him/her to my house please…yum. I especially like pumpkin and ya know….it is the season.

I’ve learned from mom to use a piece of alluminum foil to catch any drips – not cleanable, but it does the job. Just remember to keep the circulation holes along the edge of the oven floor uncovered.

Not a bad idea for those of us who have self-cleaning ovens.
(There should be an industrial use for blueberry pie drippings!)

I bought one of these but haven’t used it yet. For gas ovens, it goes on the bottom rack.
I’ve always put my pies on a jellyroll pan to catch the drips, as I despise cleaning ovens, LOL!

Unfortunately this is made of Teflon, which has gotten a lot of bad press lately. I also use an old cookie sheet in my oven to catch drips. It’s not very pretty, but it works.

Teflon: Kills parakeets when stuff burns it…alas.

uh oh, Pam, I hope you didn’t find that out from experience….

I’ve always used foil….and I have a self cleaning oven.
Foil is something my Mom taught me.

denise, we read up on parakeet care when we got ours – so, no, no teflon disasters here! :)

Yeah, I’d save the money and use foil, which is recyclable, or an old cookie sheet, which is washable and probably ultimately recyclable too. Aside from killing birds, Teflon is a product that involves staggeringly toxic manufacturing byproducts that have shown up in basically every living thing on earth, even in remote jungles and suchlike. No thanks!
