Just got the following question
via Email:
Do you spray it on the heating element also??
Certainly you do not try to spray
the heating element. There is no
need to spray the heating element
because any food that gets on the
heating element is going to be burned
up, carbon and all.
Typically, there is not any carbon
residue left on the heating element
after the oven has been turned on.
However, I know of no way to avoid
spraying baking soda on the heating
element. It is unavoidable.
So, I would not try to get baking soda
on the heating element but I would
not worry about it either.
Keep in mind that this is true of any
and all spray-on oven cleaning solutions.
All spray-on cleaning solutions are going
to get spray on the heating element. It
is unavoidable.
Also keep in mind that baking soda does
not burn. Baking soda is an ingredient
in some dry chemical fire extinguishers.
I'm not an expert but to the best of my
knowledge, baking soda does not cause
fires. If anything, it puts a fire out.
