Re: oven doors!! I was stunned when I noticed the "oven door disappearing from sight" on the "Great British Baking Show" on PBS. What a stunning idea. I'm just a wee bit over 5 ft tall and reaching over the door into a very hot oven to take a temperature reading (even with an instant thermometer) is NOT my idea of safe/fun! My new gas Electrolux convection range can make all baking a very hot project as the oven heat is blown out the front of the top, right across the burners thus making a dinner using the stovetop and oven VERY hot, indeed. My old oven, which I loved, a Thermadore, had the best of all worlds -- a gas cooktop and electric oven with optional convection -- alas, after just 12 years or so, parts were no longer available and I was forced to replace it...sigh.
