When you're done baking, and it's cold outside, do you leave your oven door open a crack to heat up your kitchen?

Like, after you've turned it off. Obvs.

Of course, cooked the grandkids tea tonight and left the oven door ajar to warm the kitchen, yes i turned it off.😁

sharonleetee.bsky.social•87 days ago

Of course, why waste that heat, lol.

joisagirlsname.bsky.social•89 days ago

Totes

orblueduck.bsky.social•89 days ago

Yup

darleen.bsky.social•89 days ago

We get 30 below where I live. It gets so cold your eyes and nose hairs freeze.

darleen.bsky.social•89 days ago

Yep.

gcriv.bsky.social•89 days ago

It's going to waste otherwise

basiab.bsky.social•89 days ago

Absolutely!

chellelavixen.bsky.social•89 days ago

All the time. I don't want to waste the heat 😁

mslonib.bsky.social•89 days ago

Yes I do. My kitchen is very cold in the winter I did this just tonight after cooking with the oven.

janeotn.bsky.social•89 days ago

Me too!

hellyeah2030.bsky.social•89 days ago

Always

elmatthews77.bsky.social•89 days ago

Yes!! I totally do this! Why waste all that heat I've already paid for - I love warming my hands/ass/kitchen with the residual toastiness 😁

fleabee.bsky.social•89 days ago

Absolutely!!! Why waste that little bit of heat! 😌

sfnuevomexico.bsky.social•89 days ago

Always!

redmischief.bsky.social•89 days ago

Yes when I lived in Iowa, now in New Mexico only when its proper winter (jan and feb typically)

labeeee.bsky.social•89 days ago

Of course. Why waste the heat?

clarkaliciouss.bsky.social•89 days ago

Shoot yeah. That’s heat we’ve already paid for, may as well put it to work.

dargonluce.bsky.social•89 days ago

Always. Doesn't everyone?

joanmacrae.bsky.social•89 days ago

Always!

imhereareu.bsky.social•89 days ago

Yes

penny999.bsky.social•88 days ago

whether you open the oven door or not the heat will eventually dissipate into the kitchen

othurone.bsky.social•89 days ago

It’s gotta bleed off somewhere. Might as well, thinks dude now at Latitude 43 for his first serious winter in a while…😎

lakeeriesunsets.bsky.social•89 days ago

Yes!

tar202000.bsky.social•89 days ago

Or pull up a stool and sit with your back against the door

jerry-scott-fl.bsky.social•89 days ago

Cat owner in the house. Looking out for the pets! 🥰
You said the key words: only leave your oven door open A CRACK.

italy24.bsky.social•89 days ago

No, but now i need to bake some cookie!

dovewoman.bsky.social•89 days ago

Always

wintersoldiershere.bsky.social•89 days ago

So where does the heat go if you leave the oven door closed? 🤭🤭😉😉☺️

janeotn.bsky.social•89 days ago

No. No. Don't come at me with logic. 😆

wintersoldiershere.bsky.social•89 days ago

I've never been accused of having logic. 😂

summerhdaye.bsky.social•88 days ago

That and simply cook a lot to heat up the house.
Works every time.

talkslowplease.bsky.social•89 days ago

Yes, exactly.

notannwilson.bsky.social•89 days ago

I already paid for the electricity, I may as well use it to heat the place

janabw81.bsky.social•89 days ago

It’s been a while but I used to when I lived up north. 😅

janeotn.bsky.social•89 days ago

😆 You are naturally hawt. ❤️

janabw81.bsky.social•89 days ago

Hahaha. Awww, thanks! 😜💙

joeli913.bsky.social•89 days ago

Oh ya 😏

mkddebbie.bsky.social•85 days ago

I do.

annelisemcl1.bsky.social•89 days ago

Yes! And it is a daily battle between me & my spouse. I leave it open & soon after, he comes along and closes it.

jefffariassomd.bsky.social•89 days ago

Always

eheart.bsky.social•89 days ago

It’s what I always do. Good advice.

edgeoforever.bsky.social•88 days ago

Boiling water is way better !

nealfig.bsky.social•88 days ago

It makes sense to me, especially if the kitchen is not heated enough without it.

aurorazeugmid.bsky.social•89 days ago

I’m from a state where it gets so cold the car door locks sometimes freeze us out. Yes, we do this.

resistancewoman.bsky.social•89 days ago

Let me guess… MN

aurorazeugmid.bsky.social•89 days ago

Think treeless windswept corn barrens ☃️

resistancewoman.bsky.social•89 days ago

Ok IA

adelpreore.bsky.social•89 days ago

Overheard

redmischief.bsky.social•89 days ago

I remember getting off work at 7am and my car was covered in a solid quarter inch of ice, the only door I could get open was the hatch, so there i was in my truck stop skirt crawling into my car thru the hatch with a row of truckers behind me getting one helluva show, my hose were shredded 🤣 Iowa

janeotn.bsky.social•89 days ago

I've used a broom to get inches of snow off my truck. Winter isn't for wimps!

redmischief.bsky.social•89 days ago

This was ice, the truck stop I worked at was a safe haven for big rigs, our lot was maxed out. It had "rained" ice most of the night. The broom is great for snow, it took a long time to get it started softening off the window. I love where I live now, it snows sometimes and melts off quick

janeotn.bsky.social•89 days ago

We don't have ice in Canada. Just snow.

redmischief.bsky.social•89 days ago

hahaha, if only, right?

justwaititwillbeok.bsky.social•89 days ago

Is that an adequate excuse to miss work???

sidmacleod.com•89 days ago

I also leave my basement door open bc my heater cranks like it’s from the 9th level of Hell.

It is also great for making yeasty things happen.

ryr47.bsky.social•89 days ago

Yes.

Until my wife sees it.

Then it gets closed like all of the cupboard doors.

I'm not even sorry.

janeotn.bsky.social•89 days ago

😆🤣

monalisav59.bsky.social•88 days ago

Yes, to alert others to the presence of fresh cookies!

bretonlioness3.bsky.social•89 days ago

My SO does this, I do not. Cause our dog is an idiot asshole.

bretonlioness3.bsky.social•89 days ago

But I do leave the finished dishwasher open a crack.

janeotn.bsky.social•89 days ago

🥰

oldtony.bsky.social•86 days ago

Always. Never waste the warm!!

cathyjones.bsky.social•88 days ago

Always!

klr-reno.bsky.social•89 days ago

yep

rocketdog3.bsky.social•89 days ago

yes

amandaleatherm3.bsky.social•89 days ago

Every time.

ritesideguy.bsky.social•89 days ago

💯

linasb.bsky.social•88 days ago

Of course!! I was taught not to waste anything...

heatherss.bsky.social•89 days ago

I live in north central Maine. Of course!

bjgt.bsky.social•89 days ago

Yes, we German Midwesterners know how save on heating bills

therealsec.bsky.social•89 days ago

Of course!

jimpittsburgh.bsky.social•89 days ago

Absolutely. That way you can stay warm while you stand there and eat half the cookies.

deborahlynne100.bsky.social•89 days ago

Yes! Every little bit helps

mangoseed.bsky.social•89 days ago

suewho82.bsky.social•89 days ago

Yes! And now that we have heat pumps, I really miss the little heat trap that blew warm air on your feet while you were making your coffee.

janeotn.bsky.social•89 days ago

oh we just got a heat pump! Those little hot air vents are glorious on a cold winter's night!

suewho82.bsky.social•89 days ago

It’s my husbands business. 😄 Took me forever to get mine. You know, the cobblers children and all…😂

marymolitierbo.bsky.social•88 days ago

Yes

montyjen.bsky.social•89 days ago

Always

dansimchuk.bsky.social•89 days ago

Absolutely. Why waste the heat?

thelivingplanner.bsky.social•89 days ago

Sure do!

lillypad58.bsky.social•89 days ago

I used to do that until I burnt the electrical panel on the stove out! The service man said damage was caused by the heat escaping from the oven door. You are supposed to let the interior fan disperse the heat with the door closed! Just saying!🤷‍♀️

annelisemcl1.bsky.social•89 days ago

My stove doesn't have a fan in the top oven & the bottom oven only has a fan if convection heat is used. 🤷‍♀️

janeotn.bsky.social•89 days ago
