Yesterday I was reheating turkey from the freezer and heating some bread covered in cheese spread, in foil, at 350 and the oven started to give off smoke. This doesn't usually happen until I bake at 400 or more. I started to worry the thermostat was broken (why would it smoke at that temperature?) but after things were done I turned it off and stopped worrying about it.
Tonight, my son (19), was making granola for us, in the oven at 200 F. I could smell smoke and at 200 F there shouldn't have been smoke. He even had the family room fan on to dissipate the smoke.I was going to sleep and heard a terrible noise downstairs. I ran downstairs.
The entire front of the oven door, glass, completely blew out in small pieces all onto the kitchen floor. Seriously, in my 50 years, I've never seen such a thing. My son was standing there, with the look of awe on his face, without an idea how this could have happened. He wasn't hurt in anyway. Thank God.
He had the temperature at such a low temperature.
It's a mess, I took pictures I'll post tomorrow.
The glass kept on (for over an hour) cracking (on the floor) into smaller and smaller bits, it must be some kind of treated glass. It was like mexican jumping beans, cracking apart, little by little. We figure by tomorrow it should all be in tiny pieces.
It was a gas oven (I made sure it was off and going cold before I went to bed). I've cooked on both gas and electric, I've never seen this.
Anyone have any experience or advice? Yikes!
