Place one of these oven liners on the bottom rack of your appliance to catch drips and spills. Once dirty, pull it out and place it in the dishwasher to get it clean — it’s simpler than trying to clean the actual oven. The pair of liners are trimmable for a custom fit and can be used in a toaster oven, grill, or air fryer, too. They’re heat resistant up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit.

One Reviewer Wrote: “This is probably one of my favorite products. I hate to clean my oven and this makes it so much easier. No matter what bubbles over or drips it slides off this product easily. I simply remove it from my oven wipe it clean and replace. It also was much larger than I realized when I bought it but it was super simple to customize with just a pair of scissors.” — Amazon customer
