Mission: Accomplished!

Ladies and gentlemen, we have touch-down.  Or rather, lift-off.  That's right!  I'm happy to say that, yes, I sucked up my hesitancy to clean the gee-darn oven and just got it done.  Perhaps it was out of need to avoid other things or simply to get something simple accomplished as a temporary confidence boost, however, it is now done.

Let me just tell you that Easy-Off really did work wonders.  I had my doubts when I cracked open the oven in the early morning, shook up the compressed cylindrical can and sprayed up the whole inside of the oven, door included.  I'm not sure if you have an oven full of burnt of your own but, if you do, I found it really easy to clean everything off with a little scrubbing after spraying it in the morning (around 7 am) and then cleaning it off when I got home from work in the evening.  However, as I say, it is totally, completely, utterly and awesomely clean.

This can only mean one thing: please, please let's bake something soon! ^_^

p.s.  Fish-bake from the Crock-pot for dinner.  One word for you: yum!

The disaster as it appeared after sweeping out most of what was loose on the surfaces (top left).  This caked-on junk was not to last, however, as it was covered entirely in the awesome white foam of Easy-Off (top right).  The current state of affairs (bottom).  Oh, yes.  Baking will ensue.
