joethefoodie Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 In no-doubt an abundance of caution, the manual for this here oven states (and my guess is that it says similar for other ovens): Quote Do not place cookware on oven floor or use aluminum foil or other material to line the oven floor or side walls. Failure to adhere to this notice will damage the porcelain and will void your warranty. Cookware that is placed on the bottom of the oven, such as a cookie sheet, will melt to the oven floor and cause permanent damage. Any material or object that falls to the floor will cause damage if left there. This includes lids, pie weights, utensils, etc. So why do it, especially when a baking steel in the oven mimics an oven floor? As far as pouring water directly onto the oven floor - just be careful...and make sure it hits no glass. If I recall, you have problems with your oven, but probably not due to pouring water onto the oven floor, or cooking directly on it. Hacks are good; except when they're not.

bloviatrix Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 We believe the issue with the oven is two-fold: there's something wonky with the thermostat (a class action has been filed regarding it) and the touch pad. I've managed to make do the past few months although we can still replace it. Actually, it was the repair guy who suggested the water in the bottom. Of course, he suggested pouring it in before running the self-clean feature but I figured why not? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joethefoodie Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 I've always felt that water (and steam) are not that good for these type (oven) of electronics, especially at high heats. Probably why the oven we got has none. No don't go defeating the self-clean option to make pizza, as many hackers have done. That will truly void whatever warranty there might be.

bloviatrix Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Reverting back to the thread topic, lunch today was hummus and pickles on a homemade challah roll. Salty, savory heaven. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
small h Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 We had a $50 Uber Eats credit, so I ordered from E-Noodle. Noodle soup with shrimp wonton/shrimp dumpling/preserved egg wonton, and curried fried tofu. All very good, and more than twice what I can eat at a time, so I've got lunch or dinner for tomorrow, too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Behemoth Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Lentil soup with vegetables, speck and pasta. Parmesan on top. The mini's complained bitterly before trying, but then had two helpings each. 🙄 Observation: it is easier to get kids to eat vegetables when they are in Italian food form. Chinese sometimes works as well. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

voyager Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Lentil soup was our son’s favorite. I used to tell him, “If you like lentils, you’ll never be poor.” 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
