Pyrolytic self-cleaner

So what else can safely go in there boys?

FASCINATING JUST FASCINTATING.

I had a gas self cleaner that put ridiculous levels of heat in the room during an *incineration* cycle. The good part was with no heating rod/element on the bottom (naturally.) Heavy wares and goods can go right on the oven floor, as long as the heat /air vents are not blocked. (without the need for an oven rack).

Aluminum? really?

Gas stove grates and porcelain(black) burner underliners was my favorite *trick* when I was a professional cleaner. Teh broiler pan is sometimes a necessity too.

Trick is, IMHO not to open the door after the cycle until cool. I believe a too rapid cool-down puts hairline cracks in procelain finishes.

Well, some self cleaning ovens can get too hot for some aluminum. I ruined a lid to a rare cast aluminum pressure cooker once. The sides weakened from the heat and the bottom edge flared out. It looked like a cake that was under-baked. Over time, the aluminum GE reflector pans will get soft as a wet taco from the self cleaning cycle.
