   Yes, that's the continuous cleaning.  I had one for 25 or 30 years and I   
   really liked it.  You don't have to do anything.

   It has a porous coating and the splatter gets on it but I think spreads   
   out enough that using the oven later makes it burn off.   So once the   
   oven gets a little dirty, it's never perfectly clean again, but it's not   
   your fault and YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING. What could be better than   
   that?  I'm not sure they still make them.   
      
   In my case, I think something greasy in the oven, maybe a pan I kept   
   using without cleaning, got too hot and caught fire and that a) burned   
   off part of the coating, b) ruined the thermostat, iirc.   I thought   
   about finding a new thermostat and repairing it, but I also put an ad   
   online somewhere.   I explained that I had had a fire, and of all   
   things, someone looking for firewood saw my ad and called me and sold me   
   pretty cheaply a spare oven he had.   I couldn't buy one new because   
   they didnt' sell harvest gold color anymore.   He was selling his so he   
   could buy a white one for his mother-in-law, who lived with him, I think   
   in a ground-level basement apartment.       Maybe this was craig's list,
