No, it is not safe to use oven cleaner on a stove. Oven cleaners are specifically designed for cleaning the interior of ovens, which are typically made of materials like porcelain or enamel. Stovetops, on the other hand, are made of different materials such as glass, ceramic, stainless steel, or cast iron, and they can be more sensitive to certain chemicals found in oven cleaners.
Using oven cleaner on a stovetop can cause damage to the surface, discoloration, or even lead to pitting or etching. Additionally, oven cleaners often contain strong chemicals, such as caustic soda or lye, which can be harmful if they come into contact with skin or are ingested.
To clean your stovetop safely, it is recommended to use cleaning products specifically designed for stovetops or follow the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning and maintenance. Always check the label and product instructions to ensure that the cleaner is suitable for the type of stovetop you have.
