Perhaps the oven door glass is tempered enough not to scratch, but I've used
a razor on a window once before - emphasis on once. Scratched the hell out
of the glass.

That said, self-cleaning ovens are the dumbest, laziest, most energy
consuming feature you can have on a home appliance. Oh yeah, let me run my
oven at over 500F for 4 hours while I take a drive in the country.

News at 11. lol
