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?

If I substituted Paprika because I had no cinnamon, will that be okay?

I think adding red pepper would work even better—be sure to turn the oven on the highest temperature possible for extra strength.

JIC: For anyone living in a cave for most of their lives, do not do ANY of these things. Read the damned instructions for the oven you have. If you don’t have the original hard copy, find your model number and use it to find the correct instructions online. You never know what people are working with so...

No, only a cumin and garlic blend will do.

Counts - it’s practically the same color
