Yeah, I’d go for the hot water on a rag approach too. It takes a little longer, but it also doesn’t require much effort. Stick in the rag when you start the evening dishes, take it out when you’re done. (Uhhh…unless you have a dishwasher, I guess.)

Thanks for the advice! Makes me want to clean it now, if it wasn’t 9:30 at night. We always forget until we’ve pre-heated the oven that it’s going to smoke.

You can also take a washcloth soaked in hot water and lay it over the spill for about 15-20 mins then remove the top layer of the spill. Repeat as many times as it takes to get rid of the build up and vow to use a cookie sheet underneath next time.
