So we have a nice, fancy oven. Worst purchase I ever made :-). Anyway, I go through hell every time it's dirty, cause it says that it's self-cleaning, but it's sooooo not. It has self-cleaning panels, which food doesn't stick to. But there are other parts of it (like the door) that doesn't have the panels, and I don't know how to get those clean.
I don't think I can use the heavy-duty oven cleaners for it, cause it might hurt the panels. And I can't use ammonia, cause I can't find any here. What I've used in the past on the door is a straight razor blade to scrape off the gunk, with decent results, but I still have gunk on there that needs to come off.
Ideas? I gotta get above the elements too, and the floor. Sigh. And ideas so that it doesn't get so gunky (and "cook neater" is not constructive!! :-) )?
Thanks!
