the stove is one of the most popular appliances at this time of year the oven in particular is most popular,no one really love to bake in the summer time,however in this turkey season here is a simple mistake that many customers make,they try to use the self cleaning before they start baking,in my opinion this is a bad idea,why, you might ask,if the oven is dirty the right thing to do is to clean it before you bake,i say bake first and clean it after the holidays are over--what's the difference?. well sometimes your ignitor or element might burn out in the cleaning cycle,and if you decide to clean the oven on thanksgiving eve you will not be able to bake your turkey,so clean if you must after the holidays. happy holidays to you all.
