I’m not familiar with Bush ovens but presumably you are referring to the catalytic liners? If so, oh dear big mistake and chances are they are now completely useless. Catalytic liners are a special coating that should not be cleaned or washed with anything. They’re designed to burn off fat and food deposits by simply increasing the oven temperature to the highest setting. That allows anything stuck on its surface to burn off (catalyse) and fall onto the floor of the oven. Now with the special coating damaged there is little hope of resurrection and only replacement liners will resolve the problem.

Lakeland Gel has a warning on the instructions NOT to use it on anything other than enamelled surfaces. 😉

Your reply confirms my suspicions, they are catalytic ( non- stick) liners as I thought and to coin a technical term are now bu&&ered. Continued use and the remaining pieces will cascade over your fairy cakes. The lingering smell of the Lakeland gel will taint the Sunday roast and give a new dimension home cooking.

Unless those catalytic liners are removable (on most makes they usually are by the way) then you can seek replacements. Until they arrive its best not to use the oven to be honest.
