3. Regular cleaning: Clean your oven regularly to prevent the formation of tough stains.
4. Avoid baking in excessive grease: Use very minimal grease to bake your food. If you must bake with oil, use a splatter guard to catch any spills and prevent grease from splattering and creating a mess in the oven.
