Trying to dampen my goodness and failing!

The house still stinks a little. The manual says to open a window. I got no window. My sliding glass door to the outside was open for a bit but it got too cold. So we still have stink.

I thought a baked potato would be the best for my first convection oven test. I picked a small one and read and followed the directions. At the appointed time it was still under done so I put it back in for 10 as directed. Still not done enough so I cut/mashed it as best I could and it and the plate back into the oven.

Finally it got done. I buttered it up and then went to move the plate totally forgetting it had just come out of a 400 degree oven. OOOOOUUUUUCCCCHHHH! I only burned two fingertips but ugh.

Dinner was ok but hard to cut my meat with burnt fingers.

I dropped stuff in the oven which I will clean out as soon as it cools which will still be a while. The whole kitchen is a mess.

BUT... even so... I love my new stove. It's pretty. The oven is blue in side! Tomorrow, eggs and sausage on the griddle. Hopefully the stink will be gone. Stay tuned.

I always think it takes a while to get used to a new oven. The one I have now has convection and it took me long enough to realize things cooked quicker!
