Cleaning the oven is one of those chores I avoid at all costs. I tell myself the baked-on grease doesn’t affect my cooking (or my life), and since no one sees it, it stays at the bottom of my to-do list.
However, after scrolling through a popular cleaning Facebook group, I kept seeing people rave about a product called the OzKleen Oven Power Kit — specifically, the oven cleaning bag that comes with it. People were calling it a “miracle for racks” and claiming it cleaned without scrubbing. Knowing how filthy my oven was, I decided to give it a try.
How I tested the oven rack cleaner in a bag
To test it out, I followed the instructions on the back of the box. I removed my greasy oven racks, placed them in the plastic bag provided, and poured in the oven cleaner solution.
Although I had gloves on, I didn’t really want to put my hands in the bag. So I attempted to move the gel around the racks from the outside of the bag, which was a little tricky, but still manageable. I sealed the bag and left it overnight in the bathtub. Almost immediately, I noticed grease starting to lift off the surface. It was oddly satisfying.
What I loved
Watching the grime dissolve before my eyes without scrubbing was a chef’s kiss. The oven cleaning bag method is exactly what people say it is: simple and fuss-free. Plus it comes with everything you need, including gloves. I still had enough gel left to tackle the oven interior the next day, which felt like a bonus clean.
Ingredients
According to the packaging, the OzKleen Oven Power Cleaner contains sodium hydroxide, surfactants, stabilisers, and water. Sodium hydroxide is a powerful grease-busting agent commonly used in oven and drain cleaners, but it is corrosive.
As long as you follow the instructions—wear gloves, avoid contact with skin or eyes, and keep it out of reach of children and pets—it’s safe to use.
What could be better
My only gripe is coating the racks evenly in the bag required some fiddling. In saying that, the bag is huge and contained the mess exceptionally well.
The bottom line
If you avoid cleaning your oven because it feels too hard, the OzKleen Oven Power Kit is a total game-changer. It’s ideal for busy individuals, renters, and anyone who wants sparkling oven racks without the hassle of scrubbing. While it’s not totally hands-off, it’s the easiest method I’ve ever used, and I’ll be using this again — and not just once a year.
