Constantly shocked by people that don’t open the oven door at look every time prior to preheating the oven.

How else will you find:

  • no pilot light
  • a blanket
  • cast iron cookware cooling
  • loaded guns
  • forgotten food

Look in the oven people! It takes 1 second.

AA5B ,

Why would you expect anything to be in the oven? Maybe the cast iron is the exception but only because it can take the heat

MNByChoice ,

Fun fact: Some ovens have a storage drawer at the bottom (drawer under main door.) Some ovens have a broiler at the bottom (drawer under main door. Maybe only gas ovens, maybe not.)

AA5B ,

And some call that storage a “warming drawer”.

Hopefully you know what you have, plus why would you put anything in storage at someone’s house, if not the place it came from?

I keep my fireworks in the warming drawer.

I’m reminded of a joke from Burn Notice where Michael has kept a folder of critically important blackmail files in his mother’s oven for several seasons. He just casually points out she never actually cooks anything herself.

That show was awesome.

DarkSirrush ,

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.

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.

conciselyverbose ,

Because normal people don’t put random shit in their oven to check for?

Ilovethebomb ,

Thinking that’s a good idea, and remembering to do it, are two different things.

Hey America, how you doing?

Don’t keep your gun in the oven.

Oh.

Ideally, avid gun enthusiasts and the dumbest fucking people on the planet would be two separate circles of people, and yet…

SirEDCaLot ,

They generally are.
Problem is there is a tiny little overlap in the middle of that Venn diagram, and that tiny overlap seems to be responsible for a great deal of problems.

OhStopYellingAtMe ,

We will have to disagree upon how tiny that overlap is. I don’t think it’s as tiny as you’d like to believe.

Do not store a LOADED gun.

You need a proper goven if you’re going to do that

Amazed to see this. New old house. Used oven for first time. Some sort of stench and black gunk dripping from top heat shield. Gas stove. Investigate. Pull out pieces of a gun. Glock or something. Previous owner stops by for mail (unusual situation). I had over the melted pieces, “you forget something in the oven?” “Oh shit. No problem, I can fix it.” "uh… Okaaaaay… "

He can 3D print or just but a new frame. The metal parts will be fine.

But maybe that individual should not.
