Cheap Dollar store oven cleaner. Remove racks, put them in a trash bag and spray them down, close bag by just folding it under, take them outside and lay them in the sun. The heat activates the cleaner. Hose them down after a couiple of hours. (Time for some quilting while waiting). Spray down inside the oven turn on 200 just long enough to get it warm in there then shut it off. Let set for an hour or two while quilting. the gunk just slides off. No scrubbing! Works on old cookie sheets and pizza pans too! Shoved them in a bag set them outside and couple hours later looks like new.
I hope I caught this before you did it! You are supposed to heat the oven to 200, THEN spray it! Heating the cleaner can release toxic fumes in a form that can BLOCK your lungs, and that is never good. It could have the same effect as the "Huffing" that is KILLING kids. Be careful, you are important to us. Whew!
