I put it on the stove to simmer for my breakfast and came to check my blog... Well we all know what happens when you check your updates and start writing comments. And I'm a woman!

On the plus side, the oven is a self-clean model where self does NOT have to clean it! <br /><br />The stove part is ceramic and attracts dirt more easily than a two-year-old.

I can,process food, cook meals and everything else daily. And I am *very* bad about cleaning the top as its gas and I have to take it all apart and clean, and then it takes most of the rest of the day to dry, the yokes on the gas parts that get wet when I soak them. If I don't let them dry totally, as they are cast iron, and will break if heated.<br />Lesson learn...clean the top as best as you can and come back for round two in the morning. :")denimflyzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04737448177805751756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-5424098028516778862012-04-17T14:42:01.340+01:002012-04-17T14:42:01.340+01:00I totally agree, Cro but Keith won't hear of i...I totally agree, Cro but Keith won't hear of it.

Recently I had a bag of mixed raw nuts that we had picked from our friends orchard and it was my intention to roast them under the gas grill then add an egg-white coating, sieve off the egg-white and roll them in herb and honey coating and then cook them off in the oven.<br /><br />Unfortunately I didn't hear the timer alarm but I did hear the smoke alarm for stage 1 - the "roasting" bit. We not only had a kitchen full of smoke but also the bitter smell of burnt nuts hung around for days!JohnDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00608216150220329902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-65657677045083132412012-04-17T06:17:43.464+01:002012-04-17T06:17:43.464+01:00I think mine is headed that way.I think mine is headed that way.Susan Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14400003572211042194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-65557015140609956472012-04-17T06:12:12.126+01:002012-04-17T06:12:12.126+01:00The best solution is not to walk away and let it b...The best solution is not to walk away and let it boil over lol...what a hard mess you had to clean but it looks like you did a great job,the cleaning of the oven is the worst job in the home i think.carole johnstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05721058683205450682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-77814349171631641562012-04-17T06:11:32.216+01:002012-04-17T06:11:32.216+01:00Never, in my life, have I cleaned an oven; better ...Never, in my life, have I cleaned an oven; better to just replace it, methinks!Cro Magnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840670227576695352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-30446467083612174512012-04-17T06:04:28.917+01:002012-04-17T06:04:28.917+01:00with the oven as next worstwith the oven as next worstSusan Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14400003572211042194noreply@blogger.com
