The Best way to Clean your Ovens (self & non-self cleaning)
Old grandmother trick that works -- with a note of caution, this is smelly so I recommend when you will be out of the kitchen for at least eight hours. Pre-heat oven to about 250 degrees - or do this after baking something and the oven is cooling - put a pan of sudsy ammonia in the warm oven, close the door and leave the room for at least eight hours. Next morning, wipe down the walls etc with some of the ammonia. Rinse with clear water until no smell remains. The pan of sudsy ammonia somehow loosens the burned on gunk and my (old) ovens wiped clean in a breeze.
I should add that this method has the bonus of being dirt cheap; needs something to make up for the "Phew-y Factor".
Another good way to wash out whatever caustic poison you end up using is to get yourself a good, big spray bottle. Fill with water, spray down the sides of the oven. Then all you need to wipe is the floor of the oven. Repeat if necessary.
I found my first oven cleaning so traumatic (even the "non-toxic" stuff was awful and it took ages of scrubbing) that I started doing occasional maintenance. Now I clean up after particularly messy roasting sessions. Baking soda on a scrubby sponge does the trick if there isn't too much gunk. I also learned the art of putting foil or a baking tray under things that might drip.
