Years ago we had a continuous clean oven. What a crappy idea. It was
never really clean. Go back to a self clean if you can.


We bought a cottage with an old continuous clean oven, and I LOVE it! Not
because it's so great with cleaning, but for this reason:

If you leave it on "preheat" instead of "bake", say at 350', both upper
and lower heating units click on to maintain temp. I LOVE this feature!
I use it for certain recipes, potatoes, veggies, anything I'm roasting
that I want to brown a bit also. Works great! You can get brown and
crispy on top and bottom.

Of course, gotta remember to switch over to just "bake" if it's a cake in
the oven. I need to replace my range at home, and can't find anything
that calls itself continuous clean anymore. Most newer ranges of course
will preheat, but once desired temp is reached, only lower unit engages.
I'd really like to find a range where I could maintain a steady temp and
have the heat coming from upper and lower unit heating coils.

Any advice? I don't want to pay a fortune for expensive convection oven.

Thanks,
Sue

They don't even make continuous cleaning oven.
I am sure I just saw a Kenmore continuous clean oven advertised
recently - and GE too???

self cleaning is the only way to go..... they are better insulated so more energy efficent. and although its not recommended i put my gas grill parts in my self cleaning oven on a short cycle, they look brand new when they come out.

once they go thru the self cleaning cycle i let them get cold, and put them in the dishwasher....
