Is it safe to use a conventional oven for too long?
Sometimes I use a conventional oven for up to 2 hours in succession to cook multiple things. Is there some limit to how long you can leave your oven heated and cooking?
Answers:
Two hours is not too long to leave your oven on. Your oven might heat up the kitchen more than you like, and it costs money for gas or electricity, but otherwise nothing bad will happen if the oven is in good repair. You should never leave it on while you're not there.
A decent sized roast can take hours and as long as you don't do anything silly you can use it for hours on end.
I have left mine on full all night by accident and all I had in the morning was a nice warm kitchen.
It isn't something I would do again or recommend.
Conventional or Convectional?
