    Just wondering

    why do you have to clean an oven?

    getting really hot surely kills all the germs? And its basically like a big fire, you wouldn't clean a fire would you - you know if we all still lived in caves, you might sweep it up a bit I suppose.

    I am clearly the opposite of a domestic goddess here, but I just wondered.

    Last time I cleaned mine (which wasn't so long ago ;)) I found a piece of charcoal in the bottom that had been a chip in a past life :rotfl:

    Anyway I bought some OVEN PRIDE which I guess is the same thing. Looks like it could take the paint off a car :eek: I normally steer clear of such scary chemicals - but needs must, so off I go.

    Will report back later!

    Back home from an excellent day's skiing. Extremely tired so not intending doing a great deal today. I didn't do the macaroni cheese last night, so will do it tonight instead.

    Hope you have all had a good day x

    Well, I got the macaroni packet out, and there was a recipe on the side of it for macaroni, cheese and bacon frittata.....so that is what is currently cooking in the oven.

    I will report back on it later, and if it is any good will post up the recipe as it seems to be a good storecupboard thing.....

    Have also discovered that the red wine I am currently favouring is half price on Tesco.com at the moment.......:o

    Hi Hypno,

    I use a recipe from my Nintendo DS chip - it is basically boil macaroni, make beshamel and melt soem cheddar in it and stir in macaroni. Easy, fast and about 4,000 calories per serving. But my men love it. I had a baking disaster - my cakes always turn out as Mongolian tents but today's was more like Yorkshire pudding. Well, I was probably not born to be a domestic Godess.

    Do the bags come with the oven pride and can you get it in Mr T? It is the 1 thing I didn't get around to tackling over the summer hols - but I HATE my oven with a vengeance. It is only 4 years old and one of the range style ones with a double oven. It is all gas and burns 'everything' on the bottom - it is as if the base of the oven isn't thick enough to distribute the heat. I should have complained at the time but had too much going on at the time and couldn't face another 'battle' - at the time I used my energy to fight different issues - as soon as I can afford it I'll buy a new cooker to fit in the space and put it down to experience. But every time I try to bake I have to put a roasting tin of wter int he bottom of the oven!!!!! I have roast pork in at the mo and the crackling WON'T crisp - I've had to cut it off and place it on the BOTTOM shelf - the hottest spot should be the top - 'sorry' had a bit of a rant there Hypno.

    Glad the sun shone and you got 3 points.

    Yes, the bags do come with it and I am fairly sure Tesco stock it.

    The frittata is fantastic - so when I have finished chomping, I will post up the recipe.
