Thanks.
Actually the element in an oven is not too dissimilar to an element in a kettle - although I certainly wouldn't spray the elements directly when hot - just the panels of the oven and the racks.
My cast-iron ridged griddle approach is a convenient and safe way of giving a short initial intense steam environment and the water is contained for a few seconds ....
