Had an incident with he who longer lives here (Just me and the cats now)
where the oven door shattered. The claim is he slipped on oil on the floor,
his knee hit the door and it shattered. I did not buy this story as there
was no oil on the floor. I had Angela double check this. Yes, there had been
oil on the floor two days prior and it took me a long time to clean it up.
So that part, I don't buy. Then there was the fact that other things in the
kitchen were damaged and he claimed those damages were related to the
shattered oven door, but they couldn't possibly be. I am not going to get
into that!

I finally have my kitchen back after his hideous foray into cooking. But...
No oven. I have the low end, GE, self cleaning one and it's about 15 years
old. So I think it would be better for me to replace it rather than repair
the door. Still shopping around.

That being said, in researching shattered oven doors, it's a fairly common
thing and the incidents of it happening are on the rise! The first I heard
of this was last year at about this time when my friend got a new, high end
oven. She was looking forward to cooking the holiday meal, and the day
before the holiday, the glass shattered. The oven wasn't on and thankfully
no one was near it. My friend makes everything from scratch so they had a
very disappointing holiday meal as she was unable to bake anything.
Thankfully she had already made her cookies.

Just spoke to another friend who said there was a segment on the news about
shattered oven doors being on the rise. But the reason is unclear. My
research said it might be linked to the high heat of self clean and perhaps
we should not use that feature. I did the self clean a day or two before the
incident and that makes me feel slightly guilty.

Anyone here ever have this happen? Or have you heard of it? Makes me want to
buy some cheap thing with no glass in the door but they don't seem to make
them that way any more. I did have one many years ago and mostly I made
cookies, muffins, cakes and biscuits. My nose always told me when they were
done. It never fails me for things like that.

She who lives here does not cook so I am not too worried about a shattered oven.
I have never seen a shattered oven door.

Yep that's what the G says.

Never happened with a good number of ovens we have owned and We have
also never won the lottery.

Sounds like you have a rather high worry quotient. Just replace it and
carry on worrying about something else.

I can't help with an oven search but it sounds to me like you're well

Because she just loves helping people! Of course they'll have to be
interested in eating a lot of rice and beans and have all the same food
intolerances.

Why would anyone lie about this? He's admitted to breaking the glass, so why
do you care how exactly how it happened?

Her biggest problem will be finding someone else to move in so she can
complain about them. They would have to be willing to live there
rent-free. Do odd jobs around the house. Move in with a dog and a goat
and share the same food intolerances. Must love rice & beans.

Recenly she posted about shattering glass/pyrex mixing bowls in her
sink. It was strongly suggested she use stainless steel mixing bowls.
Glass and Julie's kitchen do not mix.

Nrver had it happen or heard of it.... but I suppose it could happen.

>Makes me want to buy some cheap thing with no glass in the door but they don't seem to make

I haven't looked but I'm sure some companies must make oven doors
without a glass window. My GE profile oven door has a glass window,
however in the 20 years I have it I've not once used the glass window
to look inside the oven... it's really just something extra to clean
because even though it has an auto clean function it cleans the oven
but not the glass window.... I still need to use a razor and Windex to
clean that glass... it's a PIA job and it doesn't stay clean very
long. The oven works great but were I to do it again I'd look for one
without a window in the door.... I still need to open the door to
check what's cooking inside.... with a meat thermommeter stuck into a
roast I still need to open the door to read the thermometer. Maybe my
vision has deteriorated. I probably should sget one of those wireless
thermometers that sends the temperature to an external gauge. I still
wouldn't trust it without actually examining the roast and taking its
temperature with my trusty Sponge Bob anal thermometer. LOL

This is why we should have cameras inside the oven and ditch the glass in doors. Just put a display on the door or stream the video to your cell phone.

She doesn't. It's really all about the fact that he's left her.

If you do not have one yet I would strongly recommend an airfryer
oven!

The oven door is neither here nor there.

There must have been something to upset him because, as I understand it,
he got cheap food and lodgings.

I would strongly recommend not getting an airfryer. Unless you're cooking for one, the size of the cooking chamber greatly reduces its usefulness. I don't cook a large quantity of food but the size of my air fryer is frustratingly small. If, however, you like to fiddle and fuss with your food and cooker and enjoy babysitting your food as it's cooking, I suppose you might find the air fryer satisfying.

I found a couple of apartment sized ones. No glass. They are white, and used
but reconditioned. They are more in my price range. Store wasn't open today
and isn't open tomorrow. I'll go look. They're more in my price range.

One handyman has already been here. My dryer is working and the locks are
changed but he doesn't do electrical and plumbing. So my old handyman is
coming tomorrow. He's happily married.

The only ones I found were apartment size and oddly they are more expensive.

I would strongly recommend not getting an airfryer. Unless you're cooking
for one, the size of the cooking chamber greatly reduces its usefulness. I
don't cook a large quantity of food but the size of my air fryer is
frustratingly small. If, however, you like to fiddle and fuss with your food
and cooker and enjoy babysitting your food as it's cooking, I suppose you
might find the air fryer satisfying.

I did look into them. I see no need for one whatever and I'd rather have the
counter space. I have no place to store one.

We cook for 2 and the air fryer is big enough. Maybe in your country
portions are different?

can't you just contact an appliance repair man and get a new oven

Sure, but it may cost half a new range. Depends on your situation. If
you have an older range and can afford an updated model, great time to
do it. If not, new door is cheapest. Only takes a phone call to find
out the cost.

With a car you can always find a new fender at the junk yard. Shame
they don't have appliance junk yards.

That would be too easy. Heck, even *I* can find an appliance repair
person to come to my house. Also, if he admitted to breaking it, what's
the excuse? Slip & fall? It's not as if he was in a supermarket. *He*
was the one using the oven. He admitted he broke it, he should pay for
at least half of the cost of repairing it. That won't happen. I'm
betting he didn't leave a forwarding address.

Years back I remember seeing "scratch and dent" appliance stores. There
was nothing wrong with them other than they were not pristine in
appearance.

Actually they exist but as appliance stores in "poor" areas of a city.
Such shops sell reconditioned appliances and usually have a large stock
of oven and fridge doors.
Before I renovated my kitchen, I had an old, chocolate brown fridge in
which the door liner was cracked. I found a replacement in such a store.

I bought a fridge and a stove at a scratch and dent sale. They were
both Maytag. There was a small dent on the side fridge, about a foot up
from the bottom. It was well hidden behind the counter. The stove was a
glass top with a honeycomb pattern with little
interconnected octagons and each cell had a dot in the middle. One or
two of the cells were missing dots.

I had problems with both of those appliances. The stove worked fine
until I put something on the right front corner. I got to know a few of
the Maytag repairmen. They replaced the oven and I had a the same
problem with the one. Several repair calls later the guy figured out
what the problem was. I would say it was just a bad connection, except
that bad electrical connections can be dangerous. The fridge worked
okay but the door shelves had a habit of slipping out of place. The one
with the butter keeper fell out so many times that the clear lid broke.
I tried to get a new one but they just weren't available.

You forgot to mention occuring due to stupidity.... in fact most times
it's not an accident, it's stupidity... I seriously doubt it was an on
purpose. No one is stupid on purpose... 'cept maybe Kootchie.

I wouldn't want something I'd have to clean that's only capable of two
toddler sized portions.

If I'm going to take the time and make the effort to actually cook I'm
going to cook enough to have lots of left overs for my freezer. I've
already seen what the Ukelele calls cooking, I wouldn't want any,
especially not as left overs.... all his dishes look exactly the same,
closely resembling what comes from a can of Chun King.

I have reason to believe otherwise. Not gonna get into that.
