I don’t know why, but it just popped into my head that it really isn’t the best idea to store your paper cupcake liners in the oven [even when off, you never know]. Please remove them and store with your Tupperware.

Haha, I love the Mom Logic here. It’s ok to use paper cupcake liners when the oven is on, but not off. Much more dangerous.
December 19, 2008 at 11:55 am
Um… why are there paper cupcake liners in the oven when its off? Am I missing something? Did my mother not teach me correctly, is the oven (when off) an extra cupboard???
December 19, 2008 at 11:58 am
My mom drives me nuts storing things in the oven. You actually have to unload her oven of every single skillet and some of her pans. They all go into the oven. She did that when I was a kid, but now I have a hard time remembering and over Thanksgiving I almost cooked her entire collection!
December 19, 2008 at 12:11 pm
KAB– LOL! I ruined my Mother in law’s pan preheating the oven at her house at Thanksgiving! I didn’t know people used it as storage! It smelled so bad! I felt awful, but she was sweet about it.
December 19, 2008 at 12:15 pm
HAHA yes mom (and now I) do this. I guess it’s like the toilet paper over/under – once you do it that way, that is the ONLY way to do it. If you know about the “oven closet,” you check for pans in there, but if you don’t, well then, watch out!
December 19, 2008 at 1:11 pm
how else would you dry your pans when you take them out of the dishwasher???
December 19, 2008 at 6:11 pm
My mom stores all of her bakeware in the oven, as well as a bunch of other pans. It takes about 10 minutes to get all the crap out of it to bake anything, and another 20 minutes to put it all back afterward, since it will only fit if it is stacked a certain way. It’s like playing tetris. I never store anything in my oven.
I knew a guy who used to store old pizza boxes in the oven before taking them out to the dumpster. His roommate broke him of that habit after nearly burning the place down several times.

We used to have a cat that would get on the kitchen counter and tear into the bread bags. So, my mom started putting the bread in the oven. We were also having a small problem with mice at the time and my mom would put the dog’s food dish in the oven for overnight storage. I can’t tell you how many times the smell of burning plastic permeated the house because my dad could never get in the habit of checking the oven before turning it on.
Eventually my mom gave up on the oven as storage idea and the cat was sent outside on a permanent basis (I grew up on a farm) and extra mousetraps set.

Little bossy, yeah? “Please remove them…” and then cut apron strings.

But why do you store cupcake liners in the oven?
