Obviously I would do it while my wife is out not
around :-)
I think my wife would draw the line at powder coating,
though.

I believe the self-cleaning cycle gets to 600 deg. or
so.
I just finished an experiment: the oven needed
cleaning anyway,
so I took a really cruddy bolt that had a thick layer
of gunk on the head and put it in the oven.
The self-cleaning cycle finished in 75 minutes, and
the
bolt had nothing left but a crust that was like dried
mud,
that easily came off under a stream of water with a
brush.
It came out much cleaner than my last experiment:
boiling a bolt
in a 50/50 mix of Simple Green and water for 30
minutes.
