Ez off oven cleaner

Had a really bad spill in my oven. Used EZ OFF oven cleaner on it. Got most of it out. Just want to know if this is safe to use? Not going to turn the oven on until I know for sure. Thank you in advance.
  • Works great for restoring cast iron pans by removing all the old crud. Have to re-season after.
  • Ez Off Oven Cleaner is sodium hydroxide in a paste form. I make my own from 100% sodium hydroxide (lye) drain cleaner and a little bit of corn starch and water added. Works exactly the same and the results are the same and I treat it with caution like it's Ez Off Oven Cleaner.
  • I recommend the baking soda. Totally safe ! Be patient with it, it will work.
    Vinegar is also a good cleaner. Both are cheap and not harmful to skin or respiratory. Heck you can eat them !
    Oven cleaners are caustic to skin. And fumes are toxic. There ought to be skull and crossbones on it.
    I certainly would not put it near anything I eat.
  • Zep Heavy Duty Oven cleaner. May need to do tough spots twice. No gloves, no going outside for an hour.
