Wipe away the paste with a damp cloth, using vinegar spray for stubborn areas to lift residue. Clean the oven racks separately and dry everything thoroughly before placing them back.

In recent months, some inner-city suburbs have rallied in a bid to reject development proposals, voicing their opinions on social media, in submissions to council and even with vandalism. It comes as the number of Australian fast food and takeaway businesses in the country surpassed 26,000 in 2025, IbisWorld data shows.
