New Oven self-clean vs manual and non-stick interior
QUESTION:
My wife and I are shopping for a new stove, we are trying to find the best interior, does anyone make a manual clean oven with out non-stick interior. I may be ok with ths self cleaning models that use steam (Samsung) but was still wondering about the toxicity of non-stick interior. I hope this has not been too obtuse, we just want the best non-toxic stove without paying an arm and a leg.

DEBRA'S ANSWER:
I haven't looked at new stoves recently. The Tappan self-cleaning oven that came with my house has a regular enamel interior. You might want to consider a used stove if you can't find a new one you like.

Hi I\'m new to the site and also green living but am keen to do my bit :) I recently bought a Tefal self clean activys oven which I put on my kitchen counter. I baked and grilled meat in it and did the self clean function regularly, but after a month, the oil spots on the interior walls and smell didn\'t go away. I called the brand manager, she said the interior is made of porous enamel which absorbs the dirt (?)residue after self cleaning and there is no need even for me to wipe the interior down with paper towels. She couldn\'t answer my qn about the smell though. Has anyone had experience with bad smells in their oven? I worry about food contamination. Thanks. JA
