You should always look in the oven before turning it on.
Seems simple to me. Before making the oven hot, make sure there’s nothing in there you don’t want to get hot (and that the racks are in the right place.) Takes maybe a second.
But a lot of people seem to find the idea that they (or anyone in their household) would ever leave something in the oven, when not cooking, to be deeply offensive.
My ex would always say “always check for dead cats” because her aunts cat somehow crawled into her oven and died and her uncle turned on the oven and baked the corpse without knowing it was there
I don’t mean harm but this reminds me of the political compass and centrists who just want to grill. Like, if this is your most controversial opinion lol
I had an American guest over in Denmark, where he offered to cook. Her turned the oven on with all the trays inside, and then went on an angry rant that those should never be stored in the oven. It’s my house, my rules, mother fucker!

Controversial opinions for those who have never left the house, watched or listened to media, or conversed with a fellow human.
