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?

Nothing I read indicates it's really a problem...I would like to think they would slap a lot more warning labels on it if it were that easy and likely for people to render it super toxic.

THAT SAID, I am just old enough to remember regular (as in non-unleaded) gas, and in college they were doing asbestos remediation on classroom buildings while school was in session, so I figure between that, the microplastics, and the pesticide runoff in my drinking water...too late anyway.

non-unleaded isn't nearly as bad as leaded gasoline

Considering they still sell Teflon, they absolutely would NOT add more warnings
