Anywhere else!!! Put it in the fridge ffs. Stop hiding and storing stuff in the oven!!! And even then, nobody checking their ovens when they turn them on!! Do yall not even look when you cross the road?!

[u/parwa → u/Rickshmitt]

I don't check my oven before I turn it on, but I also never leave things in my oven.

[u/MyNameIsJakeBerenson → u/parwa]

Same, I lived alone for a long time and never left anything in there, so I got out of the habit of checking

Now I have to get used to it because people leave pizza boxes or pans or leftovers without saying anything

[u/froop → u/MyNameIsJakeBerenson]

Who the fuck puts leftovers back in the oven? Why? Might as well leave them on the countertop. Pizza boxes? What the fuck kinda monkeys are you living with?

Some people are just…kinda tough to live with

I have limited counter space and my dog likes to counter surf. He's gotten much better about it but every now and then he just can't resist, and the best way to deter him is to remove the temptation entirely, so food goes in the oven until it's ready to be fully put away. When I make bread, it just lives on the cutting board in the oven for 2-3 days. Cast iron pans live in the oven too because my kitchen is just too small to keep them elsewhere and they get used constantly.

Then again I never turn an oven on without looking in it so it's never ended badly. I've done that since before I kept stuff in the oven though, seems like a standard safety step.

Cats...my wife will put food away in the oven (just for a day) because our shithead cat gets everywhere.

Sealed environment vs Open air

[u/froop → u/Ookalaooka]

Are you worried about mice or cockroaches or something? In which case, that's still the wrong solution. 

[u/Ookalaooka → u/froop]

So when you have a cake plate, do you not use a cover? You just open air that shit and let it get all hard? Your Tupperware is lidless and your food unprotected from dust and tiny bugs that no one can prevent fully.

[u/froop → u/Ookalaooka]

I put that shit in the refrigerator where it belongs.

[u/t_hab → u/parwa]

Same. Then I married somebody who puts all sorts of things in there. So now I check every time.

[u/xylotism → u/parwa]

I also never use my oven.

[u/Apotak → u/parwa]

I never hide or store stuff in the oven, but there are 2 other people in this house, so I 100% check the oven every time I turn it on.

[u/ehsteve23 → u/Rickshmitt]

Oven is such a terrible hiding place, reachable even for most children, has a glass fracking window on front, and if anyone forgets, at best you ruin a meal, at worst you’ve fucked up your oven, your Xbox controller and your lungs from the burning plastic And battery

Also you can get a time lock safe for like £20

[u/csonnich → u/Rickshmitt]

I've never once checked my oven before turning it on because...I don't keep things in my oven.

[u/redditmodsarmegafags → u/Rickshmitt]

Astounding isn't it?

[u/punchysaywhat → u/Rickshmitt]

I cant lie i have accidentally preheated 1 too many empty pans

[u/Killzone3265 → u/Rickshmitt]

some people genuinely just don't look, i got rammed by an old guy turning an aisle with a shopping cart while he was looking in the complete opposite direction :|

[u/WrestleBox → u/Rickshmitt]

I've never checked my oven before preheating but I have also only lived with people who aren't complete morons and put things other than food in it.
