Wall Oven Cleaning Methods
Self-Cleansing oven has a high-heat cycle, with temperatures as high as 1,000 degrees. The heat turns oven soil into a gray powdery ash that can be wiped up with a damp sponge. When the cycle is in use, the oven is locked. Self-cleansing ovens have a special porcelain enamel on the inside and a special door seal to stand up to the high temperatures. Continuous-Cleansing ovens have walls that have been treated with a catalyst that oxidizes oven soil while the oven operates at normal temperatures (I know science class was a long time ago). This system does not clean as completely as a self-cleansing oven, but eliminating the high heat cycle reduces its purchase price. Standard Cleansing ovens must be cleaned by hand, using soap and water or a commercial oven-cleansing product. Some models have a removable oven bottom or a removable door to make it easier. Remember, you want your oven as well as all of your appliances to cater to YOU. So make sure their functionality makes your life easier, otherwise it’s like spending money to do more work. With that said, if you don’t have a self-cleansing oven look for other features that will make the wall oven more accommodating, such as a removable door, a removable oven bottom, a tilting electric element and digital controls. All of these features will make things easier and quicker for you. However the self-cleansing option would really be worth the extra money; not only do you save time and effort, but the cycle generally costs only a dollar per use - less than a can of EZ-Off. Also check for other special features such as controls that automatically start or turn off the oven in your absence, digital control panels, LED displays, digital timers, even-baking features, high and low broiler or double-broiler settings, storage drawers, and meat probes to name a few.
