(OT) Totally OT

So, I'm a bachelor, and since I moved in to my apartment the light in the oven has never worked. I cook a lot, but this has never really bothered me. But today I opened the oven, and the sun was such that it was shining in to the oven, and something in there looked up at me and said "time to clean the oven man". So today I bought some Oven Cleaner.

My question after reading the label directions is thus: Has any human being ever survived using this stuff? I mean forget about Anthrax, it seems that if the religious extremists got their hands on a couple of cans of this stuff we'd all be in big big trouble.

Usualy there is a button on the oven that cleans the oven as well. I think it just gets hot and nasty to burn stuff away not really sure how that works. the chemical you use for the oven, well..not sure what it is, should have directions. Make sure the place is well ventaled, windows open, door open is possible. Make sure if you have pets you lock them up in a bathroom and put a towel along the door so they dont breathe the garabage in. Could probably wear a handkerchief or paintmask to help you deal with it as you clean the oven. Im sure its cancerous though, but everything is

How the hell did the inside of you oven get dirty.

Bachelor 101 states...

1. The inside of the oven is to keep the pans.

2. The only time you ever insert food is when you have removed it from a cardboard container and it will keep itself contained.

3. In the event you forget to pay the gas bill it is a survival tool.

4. If you decide to impress a woman and pretend you know how to cook, follow these steps.
A. Purchase food from someplace pre-cooked.
B. Get one of those pan thingy's that don't melt.
C. Place pre-cooked food into pan thingy's and set to warm.
D. As you hear the knock on the door set the timer for 2 minutes.
E. Once timer goes off remove and serve.

5. If for some rason the oven gets dirty like for instance you mom comes over and cooks - Dispose of it immediatly and purchase a new one.


Hope this helps grimm

Jean, that's a "self-cleaning" oven, and yeah, it just makes both the elements as hot as possible, and turns everything inside to ash. It is a hella fun way to cook some things if you're brave.

The oven that came with my apartment is not self cleaning. It is barely self heating.

And Xavier, tonights options were:
a) cheap take out pizza
b) Grilled New York Sirloin steak with pepper and rosemary, home-made roast-garlic bruscheta and romaine lettuce salad.

Guess which I picked.

After inhaling oven cleaner it may not matter what you eat tonight. It'll all taste the same.... like oven cleaner.

oh yeah I forget theyre called that minde is busy with other things sorry


if the chemical is pretty stinky like you predict I would probably wash dishes too, or store them in dishwasher . . . or well..keep them in the cuboard and lick the plate to see if it tastes funny--if it does wash it and hope you didnt just set yourself for doom for licking it.

I know with a bug bomb you have to do that.


not taste it, but wash dishes.


I asume you dont use ppaper plate like most boys ssince its impresive the oven is dirty. may want to mention that to the next person you try to impress they will think youve got skillz in the kicthen

BUMP!

Just thought I'd bump the first thread in the Off Topic Forums

Did something happen to her in RL?

Didnt you hear? She was a hot Swedish model who died in a tragic accident in her porsche.

Oh wait.. that was someone else.

First, if you haven't already toxified your living space by using that foam oven cleaner, get rid of it right now! It's bad, bad, evil, bad stuff. Really. Bad.

The point of the oven cleaner is to CHEMICALLY burn away all the food residue. Think about it. That's some pretty serious stuff!

The best way to clean your oven is to turn it up as high as it will go and leave it on - empty - for an hour. Then let it cool down completely. Once it's cool, get in there with some steel wool and scrub away! (No water, just dry steel wool.)

You won't get that shiny shiny result that you would from the oven cleaner, but it will be clean and you won't have to wonder if your apartment will soon be declared a SuperFund site.

Bhodi,

I did end up using it a couple of months later, and it mostly worked, and I didn't loose too much skin. It's just H2S04, a strong acid to be sure, but it's just a simple acid. Mosieur Clean or Windex probably have more harmful chemicals in them.

Once again, I would like to advocate the automatic locking of threads that have no activity for more than 6 months.

I find the best way to keep an oven clean is not to use it.

Johnny was a good boy
But Johnny is no more
What Johnny though was H2O
Was H2SO4

A porche 911 I believe. I read salon too.

But anway, what did happen to Jean?

I believe she threw one event too many, resulting in being hurled off-world, never to be seen again... Damn beta.

fen-

um, she moved on? Last I heard she gave away all her cash and left the game. Nothing tragic.

I thought those animals she made ate her.

Ah, jean cook I remember paying her $10 to strip for a liason at the welcome area.

Good times
