Score one for the toddler, who snuck an undetermined number of plastic sippy cups and perhaps other items into the oven when I wasn't looking. Turned on the oven to heat dinner, and soon had a smouldering mass of melted plastic and horrible fumes. Poison control tells me the fumes are not toxic, just irritating. I hope that is true. Many fans going, all windows open.
However: how to get the plastic mess (no longer goo, not quite brittle either) out of the bottom of the oven so that it is useable again without emitting noxious fumes every time? Some of it peels up, some does not.
I'd especially love suggestions for effective cleaning methods/materials that are not in themselves noxious, but honestly, I really want whatever is really going to remove this horrible mess.
Alternately, I'd love to know of internet sites that might address this cleanup problem, or where to get an oven lock that actually works -- we have tried 4 different types with no luck.
