I'm the only one who uses my oven but I never turn it on until I look
inside. A friend of ours with a busy toddler pre-heated his cell phone or
remote? something awful. So. I look first.
Before I heat the stove top, I seriously wipe it with a micro/thing
cloth. So much easier to remove a spray of oil or whatever before it
petrifies. Never thought I'd see the day when I cleaned the stove top
before I cooked but so it is. Polly
