| Thanks for the suggestion. TBH, while they do a good job, I'm looking for a company that will make the inside 'like new'
I also think that the reason why oven cleaners have such harsh chemicals is because nothing much else will shift the cooked in oil | |

Actually, harsh chemicals don't have to stink your whole house and make it unlivable.
You just need a strong lye.
Waschsoda (sodium carbonate, not bicarbonate) could even do it, wear gloves, make a paste, towards liquid side, smear all around, put plastic foil over it so it doesn't dry too fast, leave overnight.
That one is easy to buy, but I admit, it's finnicky to do it I guess. I haven't tried, just sharing what is a good lye, and since it has nothine else, there's no smell at all.
Or, lazy way - use this thing:

I forgot which lys exactly is in it, I think KOH, but might be some other one.
It smells decently nice actually.
Use same procedure as mentioned above, ignore the pinsel instruction, just shove and smear it it with your thick gloves all around.
Leave overnight.
Come back and rinse well.
I did it for just an hour or so, and it removed all but few small stubborn spots, and I was lazy to do the another round, then we moved out...
However, for all other parts it was indeed 'like new'.
Considering how it was almost zero effort, it's like a magic.
Pics in the reviews are indeed genuine show and tell how it works.
I think I've read that some potz has the same base ingredient, but your signature might be needed for that? Sorry, forgot the name when people were talking about it.
And yes, wear protection and be insanely careful, it IS strong lye. I saw a review now of someone who didn't take the precaution seriously and now is blaming the product that 'it's too strong' :facepalm:
I've checked, yes indeed, ingredient is 'Kaliumhydroxid (vgl. Ätzkali)'
Plus some perfume
At least now I remember why I have KOH in my basement exactly, I wanted to make my own without any smell
