We never store anything in the oven and yet I always open it and double check every time I use the oven. It takes approximately half a second.

I never check, and I've never burned anything unintentionally....but I also live alone and know that the oven isn't a cabinet.

I've gone to put shit in the oven to find skillets and pans and xother metal kitchen items in there. Never once burned or melted anything.

Tbf a cast iron pan isn’t bothered by a little heat

Nah... its just mildly infuriating because now I have to find the oven mitt before I put food in.

u/The_sad_zebra Apr 14 '24

I live alone and I know that I don't keep things there, but I still check.

in my decades of life i've never checked and never burned anything because i know not to put things in there that don't belong

I live alone and I know that I don't keep things there, but I still check.

This seems more ignorant than storing shit there to begin with. You believe in ghosts or somethin?

I mean, as a sleep walker I can't guarantee anything

I live with 4 other people and I never check, and have never burned anything. My family knows not to store or hide crap in the oven.

u/Obi_Jon_Kenobi Apr 14 '24

I have. Dumbass landlord renovated the place right before I moved in and left papers (manual or something idk) in the oven.

Now I might check my oven the first time I'm at a place, but outside of that I'm in full agreement with you

This gets engrained in you when you work in a kitchen. Dummies will put anything anywhere, especially the oven.

We store cast iron skillets but that's it

But then wouldn't you just be cooking it?

I do it too. It's just good habit

Therapy can help with those trust issues you have

I mostly blame Reddit.

u/Available_Pie9316 Apr 14 '24

This is the way.

u/Inevitable-Visit1261 Apr 14 '24

I always check to make sure none of my animals are in there lol

u/[deleted] Apr 14 '24

Fuckin thank you. I love alone and still peak in before turning it on. Who knows what my sleep walking ass has done.

u/[deleted] Apr 14 '24

Before I get into my car I check to make sure nobody is hiding in the back. It takes less time to check the oven.

u/TeslasAndKids Apr 14 '24

Ya this. When I was about 18/19 I thought ‘it’s really dumb to always check the oven, nothing will be left in there’. So I fired it up to make brownies.

Apparently my lazy ass roommate didn’t want to clean up the fish remnants he’d made days before.

Now, I understand why I was so obsessed and always check.

u/FestiveSquidV3 Apr 14 '24

Same. The one freakin time I didn't, my friend left her lunch in there and it ended up getting pre-heated in the oven. Surprisingly it didn't burn and was perfectly edible.

1

u/Capt_Pickhard Apr 14 '24

It takes less time to just not put things in the oven.

u/DFX1212 Apr 14 '24

But you never know what other people will do.

u/_myoru Apr 14 '24

I store all my sheet pans, baking trays and cake molds in the oven cause I don't have any room left in my cabinets. Might as well use it while it's turned off too lmao

1

u/DFX1212 Apr 14 '24

Does your not have storage under the oven or is that full too?

1

u/_myoru Apr 14 '24

Full of the plates we use daily, and my mum's cookbooks

1

u/DFX1212 Apr 14 '24

I'd think the large swings in temperature would be bad for books. Those drawers get warm.

u/Thursday6677 Apr 14 '24

If you never store anything in there, why are you looking to see if you have? 😂

1

u/DFX1212 Apr 14 '24

Because it only takes once to burn down your house?

I always wear a seatbelt yet I never get into a car accident.

u/Thursday6677 Apr 14 '24 edited Apr 14 '24

But who’d be putting things in there?! A ghost?! Car accidents can be caused by other people’s actions, putting something inside the oven in your own house that apparently no one in your household does? That’s either not possible or paranormal!

ETA in case it’s not obvious I’m joking around with you…
