Imagine that you have taken pains to prepare some delicious dishes like apple ties, roast chicken, but suddenly you smell some unpleasant odors emanating from an electric oven. These unpleasant smells may ruin your whole appetite with a sensory annoyance. So where do these smells come from? What are the causes of the electric oven smells? And how can we deal with it?
1.Food Stuck on Rack
Some burned food may be left on the electric oven racks which will definitely cause some unpleasant smells. If you want to eliminate these odors, you need to clean the oven and remove the burnt food regularly.
2.Self-Cleaning Fumes
There is a self-cleaning setting on the electric oven and this setting will produce enormously high temperature for one to two hours. When the oven is set at a cleaning mode, smoke fumes and odors of burnt will emit from the oven. If you want to avoid this, please try to turn off the oven as soon as you finish cooking. Then the smell will disappear.
3.Mingling Food Odors
When holidays or festival come, we will cook many feast like dressing, apple pies, turkey which will often remain on the bottom of the electric oven or on the heating element of the oven. This is one of the causes of the terrible smells.
4.Grease Spills
As we are cooking, the oil or grease will easily spill out of the pot and drop down to the bottom of the electrical oven. It is really dangerous since the spilled grease may cause a smoking odor and even a fire. One smart and useful solution to this problem is by using a foil to line the bottom of the electric oven.
The causes of the unpleasant smells vary from different aspects. Please keep in mind to clean the electric oven regularly and get rid of the food sticking on the oven. I hope will have more fun in cooking by using an electric oven.
