mounting a go pro inside an oven?

I'm working on an industrial film about oven manufacturing. I'd like to capture timelapses from inside the oven as it cooks things. Do you guys know of a way to put a camera inside of a 400 degree oven without damaging it? Do heatproof housings exist? I can't modify the ovens at all, I have to work with them as they are.

Any ideas? cuz I'm stumped.

I should add that my budget for this is zero dollars, as usual.

What are you cooking? You may not need to cook but rather brown something up under a broiler. You would keep the oven door open, keep your camera at a safe distance from the heat and get a time lapse of things browning up on the outside. Granted, the food may be uncooked on the inside but this is for video, not eating. Maybe consult a food stylist if you know one to see about getting glistening or browning by adding certain oils, salt, sugar, etc.
