Information technology seems to me that the plastic sticking to the racks would be easy to remove once it's cooled. Like information technology should just bit off easily. Using the method on the bottom is another effect!

Definitely not. That plastic won't budge. My elderly mother-in-law did this to my oven concluding week with a plastic tray I use to bread things. I'd rather only close the door and forget about information technology. Lol
J did the same thing, except it was a lunchroom food tray. Melted all over the racks and the bottom. And, the fumes, OMG! I ended upward having to replace the rack, and I am still scrubbing plastic from the bottom. I used dishwashing soap, topped information technology with salt and used a scouring pad. I too had to use a scraper before it was completely clean. Then, I got to the whole oven with Like shooting fish in a barrel Off! The table salt works as an annoying!

According to heloise: For a regular electric oven: Identify a bag of ice straight on the melted plastic to arctic it and make information technology more breakable. Then advisedly, using a razor-blade scraper, lift off the puddle of plastic. This procedure will not injure an interior porcelain finish.

The answers hither pretty well have intendance of it. If you can't become the racks clean enough, try an appliance repair store or a Habitat store for used racks. I agree with Janet, use either wood a plastic scraper to get the plastic off of the flooring of the oven.

Warm and apply a window razor. And scrape information technology off. It volition be hard to match upward your racks. Even through yous would think they are all the aforementioned they aren't. My tardily married man had a store. You can order them straight from the manufactor. If u can't get it off. Best bet

I'ld nevertheless be crying and breaking dishes. Proficient luck!

Same, crying and then finishing the oven off then go buy a new one. Lol

Been there done that. Remove with estrus gun and non metallic scraper. Clean residue with goop off. Then clean with lather and h2o. Worked for me. Good luck.

What is goop off? I had plastic cook on the base of my oven and I got the main plastic off. The rest won't come off. If you could please aid me I am desperate.

what to employ if no heat gun? a hair dryer?

Yes with out the difusser. Probably have longer but you simply need to soften plenty to get it scraped up with the scraper. Toy know if information technology's a self cleaning oven you could maybe employ that to get up the residue left.

DON'T FORGET THE FUMES FROM THE PLASTIC YOU ARE INHALING. Practice Not Employ THE OVEN LINERS THEY ARE MADE OUT OF SOME Type OF PLASTIC Considering MINE MELTED But Like PLASTIC.

I USED HAIRDRYER TO SOFTEN IT, SCRAPE AND Peel. TOOK A WHILE THO.

Put in freezer if you can when its cold it will snap right off and be very clean

Careful. This is how I stabbed my hand many many years agone. I developed a few more brain cells since so at least towards not stabbing myself anymore.

My husband did this with thin alum foil. Information technology stuck to the lesser of the oven and when he tried to skin off left strips of alum stuck to the flooring of the oven. Can yous think of something that will remove this? Self cleaning oven, ii years sometime. Did not attempt cocky clean cycle-thought it might take hold of on burn down. ??

IF THE LASTIC THAT HAS MELTED IS LIMITED TO THE Lesser TREY & RACK...REMOVEFROM OVEN, OBTAIN Dry out Water ice,PLACE THE RACK ON THE TREY AND Dry out Water ice Under , PLACE IT IN A BOX @ Bottom OF BOX PLACE OLD TOWELS ORT LINE West/ STIROFOAM AND LET SET, THE Wrinkle OF THE Metallic Will Suspension THE PLASTIC. USE CAUTION WHEN USING DRY ICE, Article of clothing GLOVES & METAL TOUING'Due south

Elwanna y'all're right, the plastic really changes its molecular compound when heated, so the more you heat and cool information technology, the more it becomes rigid and can cutting you. The best example is that plastic becomes like that dreaded blister packaging we all hate and cut ourselves on while opening a bundle. I wonder if she ever got it out? I'd still be crying

Try using dry ice, that should interruption the bail between the metal & plastic. I would not apply the oven until clean, since plastic gives off harmful chemical's

My consequence is the fire extinguisher stuff I cleaned it up the best I could but worried most the toxic result. Okay our oven was make new and the maid put the dirty dishes in the oven. We rarley utilize it but I turned it on we hard flames coming from the oven three feet high 😞😡. The burn extinguisher stuff went all over. nosotros picked off the big pieces only am afraid to warm the oven to soften the balance.

Your maid put the dirty dishes in the oven? Im dying over hither.
Burn down extinguisher pulverization is similar to blistering soda and is not harmful unless a huge quantity is inhaled, as in sprayed into the mouth and inhaled causes suffocation. Just wiping it with a damp material is not harmful.

flames three feet high?

time for a new oven right?

Try using easy off oven cleaner and leave it over dark. Wipe it clean in the morning. I tried it and it worked. Hope this helps.

This simply happened to me! Not impressed by my daughters cooking abilities. Definitely easier by adding some oestrus so plastic tin can melt a flake. Concur onto racks with a dishcloth, so every bit non to burn yourself and scrape away at plastic. Even better, every bit I got tired of scraping and about burning myself, is putting the rack into a roasting pan and letting it melt completely into the pan, especially if you've put a bit of oil in the pan. Much easier and all the plastic slides correct out. Brilliant

Afterwards years of cooking why did I practise this?!!!

These answers fabricated it then much simpler.

If you accept a big freezer I would just bag racks etc and place them in in that location until plastic frozen and easier to break off.

I just have small freezer in apt fridge.

Did i rack at a time.

1. Heated rack in hot oven.

2. Oven mitts on. Removed rack to sink. Scraped off all I could with wooden spoon. It works!

So pulled off what looked pullable.

iii. Used stiff kitchen scissors to cutting into and off larger pieces.

iv. Razor blade Scraper to remove

what was yet left.

v.Then reheated in oven and wiped off bars on racks with damp cloth.

half dozen. Sigh of relief...

7. Well I too managed to start a burn down in oven merely baking soda took care of that. Sigh.

Now wonder what landlord thinks I am cooking...just otherwise all is good. Thanks to all for communication.😊

For the plastic that's wrapped around the oven racks, after it cools and hardens, a pair of pliers gently twisting cracks it right off in tube pieces.

My granddaughter put two stuffed unicorns in the oven and I decided to make pizza. the oven was on fire. I got them out, merely 1 of them was dripping all over the bottom of the oven. The whole within of the oven is coated in plastic film considering I had to exit the door closed to snuff the flames. I might be able to get the stuff off the lesser, merely I am non sure how to get it off of every unmarried inch of the inside of the oven. I am afraid to self-clean for fearfulness information technology will fix itself on burn again. Information technology was smoking so badly. the whole firm smells like a defunct toy factory.

I had a client exercise this. I ran the rack nether really hot water and used coarse steel wool and a metal scraper to become it off. The inside I heated upwardly, wearing a mask, but til the plastic was sticky and scraped it off with a metal scraper. Then steel wool to ensure it was all off.

If the oven is giving off even mild fumes, people breathing that air should be wearing properly fitted *respirators*, not merely plain paper masks. Even an N95 won't practice. The plastic fumes include individual toxic molecules, non but larger particles. Those molecules will pass through ANY thin permeable fabric. Respirators have rather thick cartridges that capture and chemically pause downwardly the fumes.

I have an older gas oven/stove.I accidentally melted a Tupperware bowl in it last week.Thesmell was awful.I immediately turned off the oven and removed the oven rack with the melted basin even so attached. Was able to pry off about of it and put the oven rack in my freezer until the attached plastic became brittle.I was able to remove almost of it past paw,just had to employ a pliers to get the rest off.The bottom of the oven also had some plastic drips on it.The lesser oven metal plate was removable,so I used the same freezer method with that.Just to be on the safe side,I then cleaned the whole within of the oven with oven cleaner,including the bottom plate and the racks then scrubbed everything with steel wool pads,then wiped all down with vinegar and water.There is absolutely no visible plastic on anything,but the oven still has a slight smell of the plastic.I am concerned if my oven is still safe now to cook food in.

This is my Exact situation... cleaned it but still a faint burnt plastic olfactory property.. concerned near safety/fumes... no visible plastic left in stove

And so I left a plastic Tupperware in my stove. It burnt all on the bottom of the oven. I caught it quick (as information technology was on fire). Right now information technology is -13 degrees out. I opened all windows, and doors I could. As information technology got common cold I scraped out the cooled plastic with a Metal spatula, wiped what I could then heated up the stove and used a SOS pad, and keep Wiping as I was going. With the stove warm the plastic just wiped off. Cleaner and then it has been in a long time. And no odour at all.

I would support and park my 1250hp mk4 toyota supra right in forepart my oven and two-step the hell outta information technology.. If the melted plastic didnt melt away, your oven sure would have!

A good pair of needle nose plyers and near twoscore minutes of my time and a croaky knuckle later, I snapped the cooled plastic clamper off. I used the cutting part of the needle olfactory organ to cut chunks off until it got close to the rack. Then I gently twisted it back and forth until information technology snapped right off. Now to try the other methods here to get the blob off the bottom of the oven. Cheers folks

I've literally just done the same with the pliers on mine.

And that took nigh 30 seconds. Oven was totally cooled. I used a silicone covered spatula and only used gentle pressure at the base of operations. It popped right off. Used regular hot h2o with a light-green scrubby and there is no residue behind. Thank you everyone!

I saw the advice to use a heat-gun which fabricated me think of the lighter I had. I took the rack with the melted plastic attached. I ended up re-lighting the plastic which burned away. (Although I must say the flame did build up higher than I expected.) The next thing that occurred is that the plastic is hard plenty to hammer abroad. I placed the rack on the garage floor and hammered information technology away, finally it was completely removed.

Estrus the oven a bit, then use a hard plastic flipper or spatula to jab at the hardened plastic. Could take awhile to get it all off, it'south quite a job.

For the oven racks with plastic (due east.g. polypropalene) melted on them. I put the racks into the freezer (4 degrees F) to make it brittle. Some bits came off easily with a one" paint scraper; I whacked big lumps with the side of pliers or pinched them, then scraped the residue off with the scraper. 20 minutes. Washed, good as before the meltdown!

Rut upward the oven until plastic becomes easier to remove. Once the oven has the plastic removed, clean information technology in the normal way.

I baked frozen oysters from the store, following the instructions, and the plastic tray melted! I'chiliad so happy that HomeTalk has some solutions I can try!
