I've often run my oven's self clean cycle when the oven itself didn't
particularly need cleaning. I use it to clean my baking stones, as well as
the enamelled cast iron grates to my gas grill. AFAIC, it's worth the few
pennies it costs to run the cycle, and also cleans better than any amount
of scrubbing or other cleaning methods you might apply. Just my 2¢.
