Is that like the old puzzler about when to add the cream to your coffee?

your net energy consumption will be lessened by opening the door. with it 
closed it wont change the ambient temperature enough to affect the thermostat 
thresholds. With it open, it may raise them enough to delay or skip a heating 
cycle.

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.

We're in the single digits in chicagoland today, and I just made my self lunch 
in my oven.

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....
