My ex-girlfriend used to leave a griddle in the oven with the drawer below the oven completely empty. What???

Sauces are always the hotness right off of the stove. The “Inward Blow” (That’s what she said) is always a good technique – and you all know what I am talking about here – as well as drinking something cold. Gravy, Pizza sauce, cheese, etc, all can kill your mouth and ruin eating for the next week and a half.

Why would anyone place pots and pans in the oven? If you don’t have enough room for pots and pans in the kitchen cabinets, you need to reorganize your stuff.

No, “housewives” (thanks a fucking lot Limon, not all Live-in’s are Housewives!) don’t always check the fucking oven, or the grill either… (Huh Flickerbock???)

So, do housewives check ovens for heat, much like a firefighter must check a door for heat like in backdraft?

When I was cleaning out my place in Rawlins, my landlady told me to remember to remove the racks from the oven before I cleaned it.

I forgot, and I never checked inside. 2 hours later I wonder why the house stinks and why my eyes are burning, I thought man this oven must be getting clean. Nope it was just the metal racks losing their nice no stick coating at 600+ degrees.

My mom always checks the oven when she turns it on. Always.

Ok, so I was on the right track. It refers to food that is hot enough to sizzle and make noise, like musical pipes also make noise. There was a bit about the Canterbury Tales as well.

P.S.
According to adults that I have met, you should always check the oven before you start preheating anyway so that you can make sure the racks are in the right place.

I always thought of it like steam coming from the whistle on a train, there seem to be a lot of pipes that get the steam to the whistle and I bet its pretty hot. I’m going to look this up.

“Piping hot” is a weird phrase. What exactly does “piping” even mean?
