More Lovin' for my Oven


Now, THIS is gross.

In my ongoing (but now, for your benefit, completed) navel-gazing study of the cleanliness of my own personal appliances, I came across this evidence of months-old pizza cheese/bacon fat droppings.
Clearly, I need to do this...


To go out and purchase this...

So I can turn this...

Into this.

  1. Yeah, that is gross. But I think there are SO many things that are more important than a clean oven. When we are gone no one will even remember or care to remember if we kept our ovens clean. Right?

  2. Wow. Is that really the end of this rampant exhibitionism? It's not going to be the inside of your bathroom cabinet or down your loo next?

    Actually, it's not bad. It took me best part of 2 days to get through the 8 years-worth of baked on cake mix and overflowed casserole sauces when I moved out of my last house. And I hardly ever cook.

  3. You're right, that IS gross. You did so well with the fridge, and now this.

  4. OK, aside from the kind Cherry Pie -- who seems to have some wee bit of compassion -- it's near unanimous.

    It's gross.

    Carm...

    At least you have seen it in your heart to offer that having a slovenly oven isn't all there is to life...

    CP:

    It's the end of my rampant appliance exhibitionism. No immediate plans for an up-close look at the loo...

    My weekend will be taken up cleaning both my fridge and oven...

    Anna:

    I need encouragement, not wanton disregard for my innocent and unaware and unclean maleness!

  5. I dunno . . . you could rent it out to the Iranians for uranium enrichment. They wouldn't need any centrifuges or gassification machines - just put the stuff in on 350 and bake for 50 minutes.

  6. It is fairly well off BUT! - it is not all bad! At least you have used your oven. There is a man I know who has never even used his oven - not even once.Not even to reheat pizza or anything - it would be too much effort.

    I already did. They didn't offer enough. And besides that, they said, they think I'm with CSIS, Canada's laughable version of the FBI/CIA.

    They laughed and hung up.

    Lee:

    Well, seeing as we had that discussion about you not using your dishwasher, and now you see I actually use my oven, aren't I just the guy about town?

    I also use my microwave and even my electric can opener. But I still can't get a handle on the coffee bean crusher thingy. I'll have to practise.

    In the meantime, I drink instant.

    Keshi:

    Thank you, dear Kesh, for that outburst of understanding, credit and compassion.

    Anna:

    That's what I'M sayin'. You're in La Belle Province and I took French up until Grade 10. Any suggestions?

  10. Wow, lots of pretty pictures... Jack can run, Betty can run too! :)

    That oven is gross, though... ours probably looks much the same. I dread the thought of actually looking at it close enough to find out!

  13. Stace:

    Well, you'd better put Aidan to work then, hadn't you?

    Keshikoo...

    When are you coming over? I'll clean the oven, clean the fridge and even scrub the loo and sink...

    MJ:

    Yeah, I figured this "rampant exhibitionism" as Cherry Pie called it would just make me a chick magnet, and it has.

    Still, my 18-year-old daughter, when it was (jokingly, of course) suggested she hold an Appliance Cleaning Pajama Sleepover Girls Party at my place, rolled her eyes and said: "Uh, no, Dad."
