The Rules

Right. My oven has a few roasting dishes in it that live on the bottom, and that’s it. Who the fuck puts non-cookware in an oven when it’s not in use?

My grandfather never really used his oven for anything, only the stovetop, so he stored boxes of cereal in his oven. You know, cardboard ones.

But when he hosted for the holidays, other people would show up and use the oven... We figured that out PDQ, but not before at least one box of cereal went up in flames.
