Traditional oven cleaner is lye, it chemically turns the baked on fat and oil to soap. This soap then helps clean off the other baked on stuff.

I don't know (yet) how the new lye free oven cleaners work.

The use of oven cleaner involves a chemical change. The active ingredients in the cleaner react with the residues in the oven to break them down into simpler substances, which can be wiped away.
