I’m 35 and was working with an oven in the “50+ year mark”, just a few years ago.
I have preheated overnight
I have baked cookies, cinnamon rolls, frozen pizza etc… overnight
I’ve had it justa warming my house, cause I didn’t turn it off
Maybe I’m irresponsible… maybe older ovens are less forgiving. When my stove/oven was finally replaced, I didn’t have that issue. And it also cooked properly/evenly (a bonus).
What I’m kinda saying is: old stoves/ovens don’t “easily” die, because they’re easily repaired. But ya gotta keep your eye on them when they’re cooking. And they will keep cooking, regardless of timer.
That “timer” is an analog ‘buzz-noise’, but it don’t do anything to stop the heat. It’s a reminder/warning… for you to come deal with it
At least back then they made things to last. My parents installed a new oven not even 10 years ago and it’s already faulty. I got their old one and it still operates like it used to 20+ years ago.
Are there really ovens without a timer that will keep cooking indefinitely? I’ve only ever known ovens that require you to set a time.
Privilege speaking. Dude cannot fathom older ovens existing.
Mine is older than me. I’m 22

sorry didn’t realise by old you meant ancient
Lol yeah…I guess it’s relative. Thinking about it, that thing was probably considered an antique. May as well have had a wood burning stove
