    I would give it a wash first though ;-)

    Leaving one full of burnt bacony bits and fat would be pretty gross.

    I once bought a house that had been empty for over 2 years: (at auction, never having looked inside it..). On gaining possession I discovered it came with a set of weights, a rowing machine and in the cooker, under the grill, a grill pan with congealed fat & one petrified small sausage: Was the petrified wee sausage a symbol of the previous owner's trouser department issues I wondered??

    Cooker was cleaner, 2 parts replaced (£10-ish) and I used it for 4 years....

    In the garage I found a car: Odd, thought I: Asked the neighbour: Ah, that's Curly's! Spoke politely to Curly: He advised me that if he returned from a convivial evening with the lads Eileen was wont to bar the door on him: So he kept the car for somewhere to sleep.. Would you kindly move it Curly? Aye, I will he said.. think it went some 3 months later..

    Happy days!

    Cheers!

    LOL ( and lol to Poppy sarah, too!!)

    I have in fact cleaned the oven in readiness for it's new owner. :-) (It is a single oven with grill combined). The grill pan is cleaned after each use, so no risk of fat of any kind (Euuuuch!)

    i set fire to my cooker once because i had not cleaned out the grill tray after grilling bacon ... i had to get the fire brigade in - very embarrassing as they sent 2 units.... - "you would be dead now if you had gone to bed" said one of the fireman - thats when i went out and bought myself smoke alarms...

    all my tenants have had them since day one of their tenancy.... doh ....
