At this point I probably won't recommend it. For me it's a convenient back-to-back watch on Friday night cable. Not sure I would tune in just for it though. It has sort of remained so-so while Dark Matter has grown on me as something I really want to watch.

Wife ran into Kohl's, I stayed in vehicle. Just heard a woman lecturing her husband on the way out about him buying the wrong size of pants.
I have a really stupid bachelor dude question.
My oven is self cleaning. But do I still spray oven cleaner in there, or am I just supposed to turn it on and let it do its thing?

Bumping this. I've always wanted to know if that feature actually does anything. I have strong doubts.
Well hell, going to have to get my Kitchen Aid manual out now. Just sitting here watching baseball anyway.

Dude, I apologize. I didn't want to emasculate anyone. I should have thought about the consequences of posting before I did that.
Well, it does have a clean cycle. Don't think I've ever used it. Oven is only used for pizza rhubarb crisp and I have foil down and it's never really gotten messy. I actually used the little micro/convection combo upper unit above more often as it is big enough for single meal stuff.
You cannot emasculate me any more then living into my 7th decade has already done. Just sayin'.
Hey, at least my hamstrings and foot blisters are sore today. That's kind of a manly running thing, right? Oooh, and yesterday I worked on my garage! Finding studs, hanging up ladders and such.
I'm mostly opposed to using chemicals in my oven or microwave. I've understand the oven. CLEANING is to heat and burn food to ash. Then you wipe it out after oven cools down.

That's manly. You're good to go.
So if there's gunk from liquid spilling onto the bottom, you still don't need and cleaner?
Theorecticaly. I've had to use some strong scrubbers and arm strength to get some things off. Have you tried simply wiping and scrubbing first?
Yeah, it's like glue on there. I actually forgot it was in there and preheat my oven and there wasn't so much smoke in the house it seemed like it was burning down. I scraped it when it was still hot because it "liquified" it a little more, but when it's cool it's pretty much like dried glue.
I never use the self cleaning feature. I think it makes the oven die quicker. I suppose if you are renting though, who cares? Have heard some suggest you should leave the house due to the fumes but I wouldn't be comfortable with that, leaving with an oven on over 600 degrees. The fumes have been known to kill pet birds.
I use baking soda and vinegar once a month.

Use the oven cleaner setting for the full cycle, then wipe it out with a moist cloth. Use a plastic scraper on the stuff on the bottom. Wipe again with moist cloth. You may need to go through this cycle a couple of times before you get all the gunk up if you don't use chemicals.
After the oven is as clean as you can get it, but before you use it again, line the bottom with a piece of aluminum foil (UNDER the burner). Use the wide roll so that one piece covers it. You can change that out when you have spills, and it's a heckuva lot easier than using the cleaning cycle.
