Couldn’t resist doing an “editted blonde joke” (substitute “Jon” in for “blonde”).
Jon once brought home a turkey from the market and then burnt it to ashes in 15 hours. When asked by the FD why this happened, he explained “well, the instructions on the turkey stated ‘1 hour per 4 pounds’; since I weigh 160, I figured it would be 40 hours cooking”.

The oven is that large white box thing in the kitchen, right?
My girlfriend used it to make food, but I’m not sure how.
I usually only use the microwave and toaster.
THAT’s bachelor, baby!….
Doc, add a George Foreman Grill and you will be “upscale”!
Oh my gosh! Men don’t know how to use the oven. Look at Bobby Flay, Alton Brown and other chefs use the oven to bake something deliciously. I use the oven a lot and bake something easily and deliciously. All the bachelor men need to go back to home economic class at the school and learn how to use the oven. DUH! Sheeshhh!
As a college student, I rented a house with 5 other guys. I was the cook. They all loved me. But I never cleaned the oven. 2 years later, the landlord does the home inspection, and everything is no worse than he expected for renting to college students - except he said we had to clean the oven. It wasn’t self cleaning. It took us 2 days and many cans of oven-off.
But now you bachelors are the “green” cooks - the oven turns out to be the least efficient device in the kitchen, fuel-wise (and self-cleaning, of course, burns even more fuel). Any other choice is more efficient. The microwave is best, followed by stove top, toaster, toaster oven, grill, etc.
@lincolnhyde - self-cleaning ovens are actually the most efficient. They are more efficient by far than most of the other methods you mention (which except for the microwave dump most of their heat into the air). Self cleaning ovens are very well insulated, and only lose significant heat when you open the door. A good cook doesn’t do that very often.

Q: What would Jon do if it had been a “continuous-clean”?
(I’m guessing he would think it will never get dirty at all)
Chuck1002 over 15 years ago
Don’t you clean it by taking out the old aluminum foil from the bottom and putting in new?

Men are useless and incapable in the kitchen with exception of Bobby Flay and Alton Brown.

John, when was the last time you used your oven??? When garfeild put the rat in it of course

Jon, you idiot! You still have to set it up to SELF CLEAN! DUH!
Smiley Rmom over 15 years ago
When my husband was a bachelor, he & his buddies never cleaned - just moved every couple of years. I’m so glad I didn’t work for their landlords!

Chuck1002: even that needs an order-of-magnitude higher commonsense than Jon has.

And Jon was worried about the refrigerator; maybe she hasn’t gotten to that yet.
