Reply to comment by bdubelyew in GE P-7 came with the house from the 60s - still heating well by bebetterinsomething

That makes sense, thanks for a piece of advice!

Modern ovens have steam clean - which is not as thorough much much faster. They hide the bake element under the bottom so you can put water directly there. It essentially bakes for 15-20 minutes filling the inside with steam and loosening everything to make it easier.

You can do the same by putting some water in a sheet pan and baking at 250 or so - just wipe afterwards and should be pretty easy as long as you haven’t baked on stuff.

That's how it worked at our rental apartment but I agree with you performance was not top notch. This old GE cleans itself much better.
