Hi, My oven is not a self-cleaning one.
I ended up cleaning it with a scouring pad, at first, with soap and water. The layer of scalded milk and soup was pretty thick, so I had to scrape some off, with a metal utensil, as I really have short fingernails, and that would have hurt anyway! I did get most of it off; I have to work on it a bit more tomorrow, to finish the job, but it took a lot of elbow grease. As a reward, I went out to dinner and the store, with my sister, because i was fed up with my working at home all afternoon, over two hours, on that darned oven.

Hi, don't know much about this sort of thing. However I would be very careful using steel wool or any abrasive. especially if the oven is self cleaning.
