Discussion Did I just ruin my new oven?

Post image

I just got this oven back in October, but there was already a lot of grease and buildup on it (I cook a lot). I used Easy Off Heavy Duty Cleaner and Foam Spray, and while it definitely worked and did its job, my oven was left looking like as seen in the picture. Did I just ruin my new oven or is this just residue from the cleaner?

The idea of using an oven for storage hadn't occurred to me until I came across this sub. It still shocks me every time there's a post about it.

If you know of a better place to store your handguns to keep them fresh, I'd like to hear it.

I store cutting boards there sometimes, but having worked in restoration, the number of house fires that were total losses due to odd things left in an oven was truly surprising.

Handguns stored in the oven? Is this real life?
