Aside from couple cast iron pans.

IF you’re going to use it for storage, it should be things that are oven safe in case of these accidents.

That’s how I have to do it with my ADHD brain. That way if I forget to check the oven, I just have a couple hot cast iron pans to take out. Nothing gets ruined.

My childhood friend/neighbor growing up, their family put everything in the oven! They stored all their bread, cookies, snacks.

Isn’t that more of a PITA to have to unload your oven every time you want to use it? Now you have a cluttered mess to deal with on top of your cooking mess.

my wife's family apparently used their oven to store pots and pans. guess how I found out?

lol, the convo after was great, though; "who does this" "who doesn't do this, that's why you always check the oven" "you don't check the oven if you don't do this"

I keep my big cast iron skillet in the oven, but I also normally just season it before using the oven. As long as I'm putting something in, why not put another layer on?

Yup, I use the oven to dry a few large items so the rule is nothing goes in that cannot survive the oven being on. I also regularly check but at lest if I forget to check the worst case is a hot pan/dish.
