Is this cast iron, and what is the best method to remove the built up grease?

Not installed by me and I have no idea as to how old it is. But I believe due to the weight it’s cast iron. It’s damn near impossible to get the built up grease off, I’ve soaked it in dish soap, tried the steam cleaner with a nylon brush, but I’ve been cautious about using anything too abrasive as I don’t want to ruin it. Is it safe to use oven cleaner or something similar to get the grease off? Are there more effective methods? I haven’t tried the dishwasher because I’m concerned about rust. Is this something where I’m better off getting someone in to do it? Any and all advice greatly welcome and appreciated.

▲ 79 r/Hypermobility

What signs were there in your childhood that you were hyper mobile?

I didn’t find out I have hyper-mobility until I was 32, and wasn’t diagnosed with EDS until 34.

I was born with something called clicky hips. I did see a Dr for it and I had limited treatment for it as a baby.
When I was 3 I apparently walked with a limp for several months but the Dr couldn’t figure it out so my mother decided I was being dramatic. She would always say how good an actress I was because I kept up this ‘fake’ limp for months.

I had a lot of pains in my joints, that my mother did end up taking me to the GP for, but the GP just said it was growing pains and recommended ice and some leg raises.

I was really clumsy, fell over a lot, frequently fell downstairs, or just tripped over nothing.

Weak bladder from a young age. My mother thought I was just lazy about not going to the bathroom.

I was just also generally pretty stretchy during sports.
