I very rarely use my oven during warm weather, that'd be silly with
central air on, I save oven baking/roasting for winter. Warm weather
cooking is on the outdoor grill or light cooking on the stove top.
Which reminds me I still haven't got my new Weber assembled... it's
been too hot and/or rainy or I've been busy buttoning up late summer
chores... I'll get to it on a cool fall day.
