DawnCavanaugh Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Apparently 350 degrees is not correct :) Reminder to self....when working late, check to see if absent-minded co-workers left their containers in the oven before pre-heating it to warm leftover pizza! After one hour of pulling sticky, very smelly goo from the oven, I zapped my pizza! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quilting Heidi Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Oh but such a great thing to laugh at! :P:P:P I'm sure that was absolutely no fun to clean up! I was drying a crocheted angel in the oven one year when my then teenage son decided he wanted to make some baked fries. Well you guessed. He turned that oven on and I started smelling something burning. Yup the angel was a nice dark shade of black! I think he was more upset about burning up the Christmas Angel than I was. It wasn't near as messy to clean up though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LA Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Dawn,,, I am trying to figure out how or why tupperware would ever be placed in the OVEN? Seriously who & why? I would let it cool & have them "pick" it off for the clean up! Reminds me stuff room mates did in college to hide the dirty dishes in an instant when parents came over! We wont even go there about the fridge or toliet! Hopefully those things at work are good to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ffq-lar Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Oh Dawn! I guess you found the exact right temp for Tupperware! What a mess--"ask" the person who left their plastic stuff in the oven how they plan to clean it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustSewSimple Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 DAWN, Be careful!!! I hear that Tupperware is very poisonous when melted. Really, honestly! check that out before you try cleaning by yourself! I burned down my kitchen once and that is all the firefighters were interested in!

DawnCavanaugh Posted March 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 I think Tony is the culprit because the pieces look like (or at least they DID look like) his wife's yummy bars. Or maybe Heidi, not sure. I have both the front and back doors to the office open and a huge fan blowing the smell out the back door, Sylvia! I scraped nearly all the goo off as it was just at the "melty" stage and not boiling...but as soon as it hit the cooler air of the room it solidified right back up again! It looked like rubber icicles clinging to the racks. PEE-UUU. I'm being careful not to breathe the toxins:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyAboutQuilting Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Oh Dawn! Yuck!!! Here you think you're going to get ahead by getting some work done and all you end up doing is wasting time trying to clean up a mess!! Poor you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witha'K'quilting Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 I wonder if ice wouldn't help remove it. Sort of like it works with gum. But, really, meg has the right answer...get a new oven. I bet that stuff will cause havoc for a while. So sorry about the late night. Hope your pizza was good though.

saratogaquilter Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Well Dawn, believe me, your co-worker is not the first person to do this. Those large Fix and Mix bowls take up a lot of room on the kitchen counter and fit in the oven very nicely. My ex-husband took my oven racks down to his shop and ground the stuff off. After two destroyed bowls, I started storing them in the microwave. No pre-heating required. What can I say, I was really young and dumb! Try the grinder, it does work.

quiltmonkey Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Oh no! Dawn, I did this (once at Thanksgiving) when I wanted to keep my mashed potatoes warm. I had them in metal bowl but the lid was plastic. Guess what happened to my plastic lid? LOL It melted into a blob of goo on top of my taters! How in the world did you scrape off the goo from the oven floor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neher-in-law5 Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Sorry that you needed to spend your night that way! My sister had a roommate in high school that didn't know anything about cooking. for Thanksgiving she was told to put the dinner rolls in a paper bag in the oven to warm up, so she did---no one told her to take them out of the plastic bag!

RoseCity Quilter Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 LOL! Sorry Dawn, I'm sure you don't think its funny, but I sure got a good laugh and I really needed one tonight so thanks so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnCavanaugh Posted March 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 You are all too funny:) You know how office kitchens are supplied, don't you? Paper plates, paper napkins, plastic spoons, etc. I dug around in the deepest, darkest depths of the drawers, crawled around in the cupboards, found two "real" teaspoons and commenced to scooping and scraping. Needless to say they are now very creatively "sculpted" around the handle base and tip from all that pushing and shoving. The oven floor doesn't look too bad now, but I'm liking the idea of sand-blasting or grinding the grates! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
