Easy-Off Heavy Duty Oven Cleaner is a benchmark for removing carbonized grease through the use of high-concentration sodium hydroxide (lye). This 14.5 oz aerosol is optimized for cold-oven applications, meaning no pre-heating is required to break down burnt food and polymerized lipids. The surfactant package is engineered to provide vertical cling, ensuring the chemicals stay on the side walls of the oven to do their work.
Due to its high pH level, this product is highly caustic and requires the use of nitrile gloves and adequate ventilation during application. It is important to avoid contact with aluminum trim or linoleum, as the chemical reaction can cause permanent pitting or damage. This formula is also not compatible with the coatings in self-cleaning ovens, so users should check their appliance specifications before use. When used correctly, it is one of the most effective tools for restoring heavily soiled ovens.
For a lighter degreaser safe for daily use on stovetops and range hoods, the Fantastik Advanced Kitchen Cleaner is a non-caustic option.
