Dave had a late-night call this evening so I set about making some peanut butter and chocolate chip muffins in my new oven. I turned it on to preheat and set about making my muffin batter, only to find that by the time I’d put the batter in the muffin tray, the oven had actually turned itself off. It took me another 10 minutes to get it working again – it lights and then when you turn it to the right temperature, it switches itself off. I don’t understand it – it’s like it has a mind of it’s own. Anyway, my muffins were meant to take 10-15 minutes to bake, they took 40 minutes….40 minutes to bake muffins??? Ridiculous. I’ve no idea how to use a gas oven, clearly. They look a little anaemic too as they didn’t seem to want to brown on top BUT they taste delicious, so it’s okay. The oven then took an absolute age to cool down, even the handle on it was boiling hot for a while afterwards – I’m sure this can’t be right, I’m worried we’re either going to end up gassed in the night, or blowing the house up…hmmm.
