    My oven can’t be left on. You always have to dial in a duration for how long it should be on, along with mode and temperature. Timer runs out, it turns off. It’s a good safety feature.,

    Unfortunately being used to that, every time I’ve used someone else’s oven, I’ve forgotten to turn it off.

    Better to be safe than sorry. That 0.0001% of the time where you actually do forget is enough to destroy a good chunk of if not your entire home.

      How on earth would leaving an oven on destroy your home? It’d make it smell a bit at most

    Meanwhile me searching: “Is it ok to set the oven to cook something for a few hours then leave the house”

    On the other hand, I have to go back 3 times to make sure I locked the door

    Ive left on one oven plate over night one time. I had luck nothing stood on it. Now i never stack anything on them, i think this is a huge improvement safetywise.
