October, 2019 ~ What's cooking today?

But, hey, I've still got it under warranty so I figured I'd give it a try.  Got nothing to lose, I guess.

I did pull the stove out to the middle of the kitchen in case it got really hot.  I didn't want it sitting within 1/2" of the wood cabinets.  And I just touched the sides (in the middle of the cycle) and I'm glad I made that decision.  It's really hot.  Fortunately for me it's easy to slide straight out on the tile floor.

I have the oven racks outside in a heavy duty trash bag soaking in some ammonia and hot water.  Today is just a lovely day ~ overcast and cool (73°) so I can have the patio door open and the ceiling fans all on high to move the stink outside.

I told Dane the instructions warned that some small birds may be affected by the fumes so, just in case, if he starts to feel light headed he should tell me and I'd drag his body out in the courtyard to the fresh air.......

LOL
