    I do not understand ever storing anything in the oven, its a cooking tool not a storage tool.

    I will agree if you have a gas stove that checking the pilot light is a good idea, but those are becoming less common as we are discovering just how bad they are for your health - that, and induction is amazing for anything that doesn’t require an open flame (and that’s what bbqs are for!).

      It turns out that burning a highly flammable carcinogen in your living environment isn’t the best idea.

          Disagree…induction is far better to cook on. It has much better temperature control, heats up faster, and when you’re done it’s easier to clean.

          And it doesn’t do as much to heat up the kitchen because the heat stays concentrated in the pan.

          I wish they’d installed an electric stove in my current place…now I have to get an electrician to come upgrade the circuit. 🙄

            I don’t know any chefs who agree with you but I know four who disagree. And I disagree. But admittedly that’s a small sample size. I paid to have the gas line extended to reach my kitchen.

          Disagree. Electric you don’t get heat fucking everywhere, it goes into the pan. Gas is so uncomfortable and loud if you’re doing it right and have the fan in full blast. And I don’t understand how people think it’s hard to cook on electric.

      I know people who store valuable documents, items of devices in their ovens. Usually the reasoning is “if a burglar breaks in they wouldn’t think to check the oven for valuables”. Honestly, pretty stupid reasoning because I’d imagine any burglar worth their salt has heard that old chestnut and will probably place the oven fairly high on their checklist.

      If you’re in a small place, you store where you can. I get the impression most people never use their oven.

      I can’t even remember the last time I saw a gas range or oven that didn’t have pizoelectric starters. My cousin has a stove from the 1930s, that was probably it.
