TV chef and food author Ed Halmagyi says keeping your oven clean is essential for many reasons, “but none is more important than what it says about your feelings towards your kitchen.”Oven cleaning is a necessary evil, and its easy to keep pushing this down you to-do list, but if you want to enjoy your cooking experience and better food its vital. A dirty oven makes little difference to accurate cooking, but it can affect the aroma of your meals. Why spend hours preparing a tender roast only to have smelling like old charcoal? Halmagyi explains that, “Burnt and charred scraps make for less pleasant baking.”
