Oven Cleaning
When I was in the market for a new stove I decided I wanted one that was self cleaning. I thought how great it would be to not have to ever clean the oven again. Well, I should have done my homework. It is simple but it's a job that takes hours to do. I mean like 5 hrs! The temperature inside the oven gets so hot that anything which may have spilled while baking is completely cremated and turned into dust. I've gone through this process twice in the 5 years that I've owned my stove. Oh, I want my oven clean but I've found a really easy way to do it without using so much electricity.
To remove grease from inside your oven, put a small pan of ammonia in the oven in the evening, and then close the oven door. In the morning, remove the pan of ammonia. The grease inside the oven will wipe off very easily.
This works wonderfully. I open the oven door and let the odor escape before wiping out my oven and this process takes about 15 minutes to do and I don't heat up the kitchen with that 800 degree self cleaning method.

I'm from Georgia, moved to North Carolina by way of Florida. I've been in Charlotte for 14 years and love it. The recipes in my book Stir, Laugh, Repeat are all tested by "Food Testers" of which I now have 24. They try a dish and rate it from 1-10 with only those scoring at least an 8 making the book. My website is a holding place for my 2nd book Stir, Laugh, Repeat... Again. Please visit my site to find new recipes and tips. All recipes are easy, using common ingredients and according to my testers, great!
When I wrote my introduction about a year ago and a lot has happened since then. I now have 5 blog sites that keep me pretty busy. Two of my sites are dedicated to nothing but recipes. Martha's Recipe Cabinet holds recipes that will be included in one of my upcoming cookbooks. Martha's Kitchen Korner consists of recipes that are good but still need just a bit of work. On A Book and A Dish you will find my book reviews and the author's favorite recipe. Stir, Laugh, Repeat holds reviews written about my cookbook Stir, Laugh, Repeat and the site you are now on is the "mother" site for all of these. Here you will find cooking tips, simple recipes and updates for additions to the "offspring sites." So, enjoy!
