I accidently used a plastic tray for cookies and put it in the oven. When I thought the cookies were ready-I was right, but the plastic metled and the cookies were MUSH. How do I get rid of the plastic and cookie mush? PLEASE HELP ME!
Let the whole lot cool down before you do anything Then, just remove the entire tray and bits and bin it Once cold, cleaning the oven will be easier, though not easy.
Depending on the type of plastic that's involved, you can begin to clean your oven while it's still warm and the plastic is still pliable. Sometimes, though, the plastic is so runny that it's near impossible to effectively clean it up. And other times, it's best to let the plastic cool down until it's hard again. . Remove the racks let cool and then use a plastic spatula or flat scraper to carefully remove as much of the plastic that is stuck to the bottom of your oven. If that doesn't work, then you'll need to turn your oven on and set it at a low temp... Wait a few minutes and allow the heat to soften the plastic up some...the plastic should scrape off easily. Wipe up any residue with a soft damp cloth..... You might have to replace the oven racks and allow the low heat to soften up the melted plastic...then, remove the racks and pull the plastic off with your fingers. Wipe any remaining plastic off with a damp cloth. If there's still some plastic residue on the racks, moisten a SOS soap pad or wire brush/steel wool.....and run it up and down the rungs. If that still doesn't do the trick...you can carefully use a razor blade... Good luck........
