What is your most hated kitchen cleaning job?

[Mountain Cat]

First - cleaning the oven. Things bake in there. And since I don't have air conditioning here, turning on the self cleaning option is nasty in summer.
Second - cleaning the fridge. Especially when something decides to go off in a corner and die.

All the other tasks are fine.

We have a glass cooktop, and that thing is impossible to get clean, short of standing there with a razor blade and applying copious amounts of boiling water.

Scrubbing the grime - be it the stove top, wall or any other place. I can't stand grime and I hate scrubbing it. Any guesses for what I finally do? I scrub. Sigh.

Some people let their stove get like THIS! I wouldn't eat there!!

I wouldn't live there!

I have a self-clean oven, so that's not a problem. I hate cleaning the fridge, though. Emptying it all out, wiping all the shelves, it's just cumbersome and annoying.

I started cleaning the fridge as I put away groceries. It's been a lifesaver habit.

We do something similar, plus we keep a little kitchen cloth down in the fridge door for liquid spillages (remember there's no dairy in our household). Anything bigger than a splash is dealt with immediately and if a glass shelf needs wiping down, then it's done there and then. The veg/salad drawer gets pulled out and washed as needed.

Dealing with a clogged drain!

Dealing with a clogged drain!

And I can't use chemicals or biologicals to deal with it either (septic tank)! <shudders>

Clogged toilet is worse...

Hopefully, dealing with a clogged toilet doesn't count as a kitchen task!

True - but neither does a drain.

Oh, I suppose it does if the kitchen sink is blocked due to the drain...

Mine does - that's one spot where I access the drain, right under the kitchen sink. I've had to snake it more than once.

I had assumed a blocked or clogged kitchen drain included the u tube underneath the sink(s). Mine often block sadly.

Not to mention the occasional need to recover something that had gone down the drain that should not have...

I don't like to clean the bins and containers of leftover.
