What do you mean they're self cleaning?!

So, one of my least favourite chores is cleaning out the oven. Apparently they make ovens that self clean. I've never ever ever come across this in my life.

Seriously between this, the dishwasher, the washing machine/dryer and a roomba, what else do you need to do?

Buy a Thermomix, obviously. (I hate those things)

Every house/apartment I've lived in since the 90s has had one. It takes a while for it to work. Basically, you flip a switch that locks your oven door shut for a set period of time, and the cleaning setting runs the oven REALLY HOT. Like 800-900 fahrenheit. The lock is so you don't accidentally open it while it's so hot. It burns off all the gunk and sometimes leaves a fine layer of ash, but usually it's just all burnt away. You can't even use chemical cleaners on a self-cleaning oven, as it messes with the finish on the oven walls. I love them and can't imagine having to break out the spray cleaner again.
