THHN is rated at 90 deg C

That's just not high enough for the application. When the oven is running
HOT (especially is self-cleaning mode) the top of the over can get above
boiling.

PFAH and TFE types with nickel coated copper are rated to 250 C and are
approved for 'leads within apparatus' according to the NEC (Table
310.13). The question is whether 250 C is sufficient for connections
within a stove/oven.
