We always leave it open, figuring more makes it into the room rather than getting absorbed by surrounding cabinets, etc. Probably same net effect as you say.

The oven is electric, so there is no outside vent. After I'm done, should I open the oven door, to let the heat into the room quickly, or keep it closed so that it radiates heat for longer? I think that the math says that the same energy will be put into the environment regardless, since there is nowhere else for it to go. So will the room be warmed by the same amount if i keep the door closed vs open? The things I think about when I'm hungry.... -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
