You should use a microwave oven, then you wouldn't have this problem because only the food would get hot.

The furnace may still run it's normal cycle, but should run for less? My gut says opening the door is better, but I'm trying to think through the Math, and it's saying no.

With it open, it may raise them enough to delay or skip a heating cycle.

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?
