(:-o)!
Well, I have a "dollar store" within walking distance...but not the ones
you've suggested. I did go there...and got NADA!
I've printed your note out, and will haunt at least 3 of them tomorrow...on
the way back from Pacheco (helping a SP ranger with some nest box site
selections...).
Thanks!

Try Home Depot. I've seen orange smelling cleaners there.

Actually I find the orange Fantastic works well on some grease, but I use
Easy Off in a spray bottle for the oven.

I originally wrote to the group hoping to get a neat, clever solution such
as: "To remove pine sap from hands, use a bit of Mayonnaise as you would
soap." That one's been used by us for decades. I guess I was kinda hopin'
that someone had a similar solution for a dirty oven.

Thanks for that "Dollar Tree" stores list, Rusty. I tracked down the
closest one.

Went there. Found it (the "Awesome Orange"). Took it home. Put it to
work.
Since I was curious about how well any of these things worked, I made a test
case of my oven. I bake exclusively sourdough, and mostly bread. But I do
make other SD things, Cinnamon Rolls & Schiacciata come to mind--and these
often cook over and spill in the oven. Besides the occasional turkey, ham,
and/or roast spill or spatter; I've been fooling around with an old-world
cheese cake recipe. A lot of butter leaked out of the spring-form pan. And
that was the reason I'd decided that it was time for one of my
sesquicentennial oven cleanings...
Given that most of my bread bakes pretty near to 500F, and I do it often,
the stuff that had been hiding under the hydration tray was truly nasty! So
I divided up the areas, and tried a number of different cleaners:
* "Clean It!" from Carbona. Sez itz an oven cleaner that will also do BBQ
grills. Tried it after 15 min, 2-hours, and overnight. On a 1-10 scale,
where #1 is the best and #10 the worst, it got about a 7. It cleaned the
easy stuff, but that was about all. However, it had the least noticeable
smell.
* "Orange Pro," by USA Labs, Inc.; "The Big Orange," by Carroll Company;
"Orange Clean degreasing foam," Orange Glo International, Inc.; and "Awesome
Orange," by Awesome Products, Inc. Names and claims aside, all of them were
about the same. Tried it after 15 min, 2-hours, and overnight. I gave them
a 5-6 or so. While smells varied, most were "orangey", and quite pleasant.
* "Easy Off, Heavy Duty Oven & Grill Cleaner," by Reckitt Benckiser, Inc.
Tried it after 15 min, 2-hours, and overnight. It did pretty good. Got off
lots of caked and baked on stuff, and even got the window clean. I'd give
it 2.5-3. The really tough stuff still needed a spatula for encouragement.
Although a disagreeable smell, it wasn't overly strong or cloying. It was
probably the strongest of the lot.
And now, <drum roll please!>, the winner!
* "Carbon-off!", heavy-duty carbon grease remover, by Discovery Products
Corporation. Tried it after 15 min, and stopped there. Everything came
completely clean. It did smell a bit, and had a pronounced "ammonia"
'nose', but again, not something strong enough that you'd try to duck from
it.
All of these products had a spray setting, and the material would cling to
vertical surfaces. Although the "Clean It!" and all of the orange cleaners
did run and eventually puddle, they did leave the surface wet, so their
cleaning "power" should have been viable.
The "Easy-Off" and "Carbon-Off!" did not run,
HTH someone.
