So, what should you do?
Cleaning your oven with a simple baking-soda paste is way better. This works on toaster ovens too. Of course, you can buy oven cleaners in powder, liquid, or wipe form.
Those are magical and will erase everything including a few brain cells if you inhale them too deeply. When I moved into an apartment that had previously been occupied by something guys who never cleaned their kitchen, oven cleaner -strength wipes were the only thing that removed the three-plus years of grease spatter stains from the fridge. Why is it standard practice in so many apartments to put the white fridge next to the stove, so it's begging to be covered in bacon grease and barbecue sauce splatter?
Admire your clean oven and get it dirty again. Remove all the racks from the oven and hand wash them with a scrubby sponge. If they seem very covered with grease, soak them in hot, soapy water for a while—if you have a tiny apartment sink like I do, you may have to complete this step in your bathtub. If you have no bathtub and a tiny sink, just do the best you can with hand washing.
If the grease won't come off the racks with dish soap, use extras of the paste you're about to smear inside the oven. If there are any easy to remove chunks of charred food in the bottom of your oven, scrape them out and into the trash.
Use a large, clean paint brush or rubber glove-covered hands to spread the paste all over the oven, including the inside of the door. Foods normally cooked in this manner include meat , casseroles and baked goods such as bread , cake and other desserts. In modern times, the oven is used to cook and heat food in many households across the globe.
Modern ovens are typically fueled by either natural gas or electricity , with bottle gas models available but not common. When an oven is contained in a complete stove, the fuel used for the oven may be the same as or different from the fuel used for the burners on top of the stove. Ovens usually can use a variety of methods to cook.

I'm guessing they had a "baby sitter" The oven constantly circulates the air and recycles the steam.

The most common may be to heat the oven from below. This is commonly used for baking and roasting. A fan-assisted oven that uses a small fan to circulate the air in the cooking chamber, can be used.
An oven may also provide an integrated rotisserie. Ovens also vary in the way that they are controlled. The simplest ovens for example, the AGA cooker may not have any controls at all; the ovens simply run continuously at various temperatures. More conventional ovens have a simple thermostat which turns the oven on and off and selects the temperature at which it will operate.
Set to the highest setting, this may also enable the broiler element. A timer may allow the oven to be turned on and off automatically at pre-set times. More sophisticated ovens may have complex, computer -based controls allowing a wide variety of operating modes and special features including the use of a temperature probe to automatically shut the oven off when the food is completely cooked to the desired degree.
Some ovens provide various aids to cleaning. Continuous cleaning ovens have the oven chamber coated with a catalytic surface that helps break down oxidize food splatters and spills over time. Self-cleaning ovens use pyrolytic decomposition extreme heat to oxidize dirt. Steam ovens may provide a wet-soak cycle to loosen dirt, allowing easier manual removal. In the absence of any special methods, chemical oven cleaners are sometimes used or just scrubbing. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. For other uses, see Ovens disambiguation.
