    Hot tips

    Keeping your oven clean is easier said than done, if you lead a buissy lifestyle.

    The answer could be in this oven liner I came across at a customer's house. I was so impressed, I asked her for the details.

    It is called "Magic oven liner" and can be found online at www. lakeland.co.uk

    nice pic

    The oven liner is placed at the base of your oven where it will catch everything.

    A quick wipe and it is clean again, ready to be used once more.
