Tells you everything you need to know about how often my mother cooks. She uses the fucking oven as a pantry. |
My mother has kept pots in her oven. In mine the gas oven's pilot light keeps the oven warm making it a suitable place for leaving bread to rise and drying wet clothes or shoes etc. I habitually check inside my oven before heating it as I accidentally singed a pair of socks on one occasion.

When a gas oven was not available to me and the weather was cold and damp I have used the microwave to speed up the time taken to dry my hand washed garments. When the clothes were steamy and almost dry I hung them up to complete the drying.
