Cleaning my oven

[GadgetGuy]

My stove has a manual clean oven, I don't use it for roasting much because I hate cleaning it!! What a messy job!! So I just use it for stuff that doesn't splash or spatter. Like cakes & bread.

I prolly use my oven daily.
Cheese on toast etc. If the toaster isn't on the bench I grill bread for toast I'm that lazy .

I have thought about goats. But you must have two, apparently because one would die of loneliness. There is insufficient grass for two.

And they smell!

Terrible.

Isn't it only the males that smell?

As I never got around to getting any, I cannot comment.

My last range/cooker had two ovens - a main oven (a little smaller than a standard oven) and another much smaller oven positioned right above that.

It had a toasting function, and it worked much better than the countertop toaster, so that’s what I used. I was to the point of getting rid of the toaster to get back some space, when the range crapped out and I had to replace it.

For whatever reason, dual-oven ranges had shot up in price at that time, and there was no way I was paying what they were asking, so I went back to one oven - a decision I kick myself over every day. Next range will have two ovens, regardless of the cost!

Ours (electric) is the same as kaneohegirlinaz - it comes with a self-clean cycle (two, actually; one is for steam, but it doesn’t do a very good job).

Press the button, the door locks, the ovens heats up to about 4 bazillion degrees and burns all the crud off, and once it cools down to a safe temp, it unlocks - takes about three hours and raises the ambient temperature in the kitchen by a noticeable amount, so I usually run it around early November and again in early April, unless I have some sort of nasty spill I need cleaned immediately.

You might find one these days in Colonial Williamsburg that isn't "self cleaning".

I dunno CraigC in my Mother's new digs, she has one that does not have the self cleaning mode so she refuses to use it!

Must have been a model close out from 20 years ago!

I had a double oven before moving to this joint. Single since then. I miss my double oven.
