Put a nice piece of pork shoulder in the oven to roast. After it had been in there a bit, prepared some veges to go with it (potatoes, kumara/sweet potatoes, parsnip, carrots, beet(root), (Pacific) yams, garlic), went to put them in... and discovered the oven was on grill/broil and the meat was barely warm.
I've changed the oven setting now. Dinner will still be good, just a little later than we thought.

<groan> Been there done it. Worse yet is the time I threw the roast in and a couple of hours later discovered that I had not only failed to pre-heat the oven, I failed to heat it at all. I hate it when I do that.

When I was a teen I didn't realize what the "preheat" setting in my then boyfriends' mom's oven meant let's get it really, really, really hot! (Shut up, Sheldon!) So we were going to broil some hamburgers. We put together our pennies, a pound of ground beef was about 75 cents back then. Hamburgers, yeah, surely we can do this. The broiler wasn't even turned on at that point. The preheat setting had the oven to about 425F and I honestly don't recall if I ever turned it off that setting. We wound up with nice round burnt burgers within minutes.

One time years ago, I or my dad put a whole beef tenderloin roast in the pre-heated oven, and somehow either I or my dad accidentally turned the oven dial to "clean" (ruhroh!). The oven then locked itself with the roast in the oven (big time ruhroh!). We tried to turn off the oven to disengage the 'clean' option. Because this happened so long ago, I forget how the roast turned out, but it was edible as I remember.

The only way that it could have turned out OK was if you'd pulled the plug on the range (at least the way that my mother's used to work).

Unfortunately, that wasn't an option because it was an in-the-wall oven. Perhaps we could've gone to the breaker box and turned off the circuit, but I don't think my dad had the circuits labeled at that time.

The funny thing here is that the oven is very effective at getting up to temperature quickly.
Keyron hasn't yet realized that a timer is his friend. Usually I'll re- heat pizza in the oven since doing so in the microwave makes it all soggy.
I've found that heating the oven to 400F yields good results when the pizza is placed on the rack for no more than 7 minutes, therefore a timer is a necessity.
He has yet to learn that so he always ends up with charcoal.

So you just cycle the power mains off for about 30 seconds and then back on.

Easy, Sky, it's the biggest breaker apart from the mains. In the 230V AC system we run in NZ, it's usually 32A or maybe even a bit bigger.

😉 Miche. I don't think we thought about it at the time, or perhaps my dad did. It was a long time ago, so I forget the actual details. Dad was/is a "double-E" (retired now) <g> so I left it up to him how to take care of it (I think?!).
