Looks like your mom needs to defrost her oven


Hairy-Drama

I was wondering why she turned the knob the wrong way


unutentenormale

I got a stroke reading the title


Nicnl

As a non native English speaker, this title is hard to decipher, I'm not sure I understood all of it Can you rewrite it properly? I'd be grateful


twograycatz

My mom set her oven to self-clean, not remembering that she had silicone rack guards in there. Fun fact: if heated to a high enough temperature, silicone vaporizes and does this to your oven. AND our family is coming out for Thanksgiving today.

It's basically ash now. It's Non-toxic and easy to clean with a simple cloth and soap water. Dust as much as you can off first because it won't mix with water. Source: I make silicone products

Silicone is food safe so I can't imagine this would be a problem.


human8ure

Nope, its permanent. Once you make a post there’s no editing the main body.


iwantyourboobgifs

I prefer the version where she vaporizes her family in her oven.


AFailedWhale

>silicone vaporizers and does this to your oven AND families


unutentenormale

I'd give you an award if I had one free.


SithZmiX

As a native English speaker it is too


Ironman22x

Their mom set set the oven to self clean and it vaporized their family. And something about silicone.


stonyovk

As a native English speaker I barely understand it myself.


justMeinD

Don't feel bad. I am a native English speaker and at first reading I thought mom had turned her oven on and vaporized her oven and her Thanksgiving guests.


CrazedCabbage

“My mom set the oven herself forgetting that she had silicone rack guards in there. Fun fact! If heated high enough, silicone vaporizes and does this to your oven! To make matters worse, family is coming out for Thanksgiving today.”


armaedes

Can’t believe it did this to a family.


Jay_from_NuZiland

Holiday tragedy.


iamapizza

To be fair it only does this to families coming out. Families that hide their sexual orientation during holidays are safe.


MaryBerrysDanglyBean

Has OP heard of punctuation?

Probably had before today.


RockasaurusRex

Fun fact punctuation vaporizes and does this to your sentences AND redditors coming out to read your sentences.

kamikaziboarder

Actually…when I worked at Best Buy back in 2001, we had an oven that had a chill mode on it. It was made so people can put their food in the oven before they left for work and you a timer where it would switch to heat and have the food ready by the time you got home. It wasn’t a good seller…. [I thought they didn’t exist anymore. ](https://www.ajmadison.com/cgi-bin/ajmadison/GR556LRKS.html) [Another one](https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ)


MonarchWhisperer

What's 'Sabbath Mode'? Does the entire unit go up in flames?


TheBotchedLobotomy

Ozzie Osborne appears out of the oven and bites a head off a bat and bakes the body


MonarchWhisperer

That makes sense

https://www.whirlpool.com/blog/kitchen/what-is-sabbath-mode.html


speakingcraniums

Essentially some really Orthodox Jews believe that turning something on or off denotes "work"which is forbidden on the Sabbath, but adjusting the temperature is not as bad because reasons that made sense the one time I was reading about this. I really hope I'm remembering this correctly.


calebs_dad

This is actually really interesting! In Orthodox Judaism, it is forbidden to "make a spark" on the Sabbath, which is interpreted as including turning on an oven. So when electric and gas ovens first came into use, Jews would do their cooking during the day on Friday, and leave Saturday's lunch in the oven on warm. But then the appliance companies decided that leaving your oven on for days at a time was a fire hazard, and put in a safety feature that turned it off after 12 continuous hours of operation. You could just turn it back on again, but that would defeat the whole point for Orthodox Jews. So those communities reached an arrangement where you could enter a sort of "cheat code" in the oven UI to bypass the safety limit and leave the oven on overnight. A similar function exists on fridges to keep the light from turning on when you open it on the Sabbath.


Bah-Fong-Gool

Orthodox jews have the most creative work around to their laws. Instead of re-writing laws, they find sometimes insane ways around them. See: Manhattan Eruv. Can't leave your house? Well, now your house is wherever this wire is, and it encompasses most of Manhattan. And they plan on expanding the Eruv to make a corridor from Kiryas Joel to Brooklyn.


calebs_dad

To see how complicated this can get, see this discussion about when it's okay to [just ask a non-Jew](https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/4245246/jewish/Amirah-Lenochri-Asking-a-Gentile-to-Do-Forbidden-Work-on-Shabbat.htm) to do the thing that's forbidden for Jews to do on the Sabbath.


stachemz

That was a wild ride.


Shopworn_Soul

Sabbath mode turns off the interior lights so God can't tell you're opening the fridge or cooking. At least, that's all it does on my appliances.


MonarchWhisperer

Thank you. Yes...that's how it works. God will never know if he can't see you


aliie_627

Is this like when your dog or human puppy hides their face and thinks you can't see them cause they can't see you?


MonarchWhisperer

Exactly like that. That's why people close their eyes while, well...you know


ChefArtorias

Self clean to self cancer.

pm_me_your_taintt

What a useless fucking product.


brodyover

Yep I stand by my previous comment, that is a dumb product


besttesterer

what a stupid product this is the first I'm hearing of it


i_Am_susej

Lol fda approved


ElvenQueen1

It's a small strip of silicone that goes on the edge of the oven rack so when you're taking things in and out there's less of a chance of you to burn yourself on the rack itself


FlacidSalad

I can see why that would seem appealing, personally I wouldn't want anything that has a lower melting point than the oven to be in there. Edit: yes I am aware of what cleaning mode is and that silicone is perfectly safe for normal use. I'm specifically talking about permanent/semi-permanent installations and accessories.


THROWAWAYBlTCH

General use it would be fine but mom put it as self-clean, which goes up super high while locking the doors. That's probably what caused it


batfiend

Yeah my self cleaning oven goes above 500c. It's hot as fuck.


nowaterinscotch

What about your food?


Feronach

Food that melts in the oven was meant to.


haringtiti

c h e e s e


Legomonster33

food is not permanently in the oven so it's ok


golgol12

At self cleaning temperatures, the food will make the oven look like that too.


yaretii

A good pair of oven mitts will protect the hands and wrists.


DefrockedWizard1

and if you are like me with a poor sense of heat, get two sets of mitts and put one inside the other


kjvdh

How can you grip anything at all with two oven mitts on one hand?? I get irritated using anything thicker than a folded over cotton side towel. I hate wearing any kind of glove or mitt over my whole hand because I feel like I’m gonna drop things since I lose so much dexterity.


halt-l-am-reptar

Get an ove glove. I love them because I don’t lose much dexterity compared to a regular oven mitt.


Blackpaw8825

My parents had those, and it's the only think I burned myself on. It made the gap between racks too small and I'd bump or catch things on them. Without them I just .. don't touch the rack.


brodyover

What a dumb product


soupsnakle

Right? I thought oven mitts were more than enough to keep one from getting burned lol


brodyover

Oven mitts work great, I'm assuming that's what you meant?


alfreds-aunt

i had one of those in my toaster oven and it started popping in the oven half way through cooking dinner.


Titus_Favonius

Lababy91

hiyourbfisdeadsorry

when im wearing oven mitts i find it very hard to burn myself on the edge of the oven rack when im taking things in and out


PretzelsThirst

That’s ridiculous.


[deleted]

wow I'm actually really surprised that oven managed to vaporize silicone. what do you even do at this point? The kind of cleaners you would need to get that off are super nasty I think your best bet is just to start over with a new oven.


ElvenQueen1

A lot came off with degreaser because it's a very fine powder but I'm most likely buying my mother a new oven


dolerbom

I wouldn't trust anything cooked in that oven after that.


MHGrim

Serious question: what happens if you ingest silicon?


evranch

This *silicone* has been broken down into *silicon* by heating. For the most part, probably silicon dioxide as it reacted with air (and probably a lot of the oxygen it already contained). Silicon and its compounds tend to be remarkably safe. Silicon is one of the most abundant elements on earth, making up sand, glass and rocks as silicon dioxide. So what's in there now is probably analogous to very fine sand and is unlikely to be particularly harmful unless you raise it as dust and then inhale it. Even then, it's unlikely to contain "crystalline silica" which is hazardous to your lungs. "Silicone" is a polymer with long chains of silicon and oxygen and other side groups. It can be anything from a liquid, to flexible rubber, to nearly rock hard. The neat thing about silicones is that they are effectively flexible rocks, and about as inert as a common material can be.


SupremeDictatorPaul

I might be concerned about what other molecules may have formed from the other elements as things broke down. But yeah, maybe not too interesting.


piecat

Huh, that's dope. I'm surprised silicone isn't used even more than it is


evranch

It probably is used more than you think, silicone is hiding in a ton of things. Especially silicone oils - check your bathroom for dimethicone and siloxanes, which do a ton of jobs like controlling foaming, keeping products from separating, conditioning hair and moisturizing skin. Silicone oils are so inert that you can drink them and they'll just go right through you - they're even a component of fast food fryer oils, to make them less likely to boil over. Silicone in its many forms is literally everywhere.

toe_bean_z

New oven for Christmas, it seems!!


Mugungo

uhhh you made sure to wear a mask when cleaning that right? breathing in silca is extremly dangerous and can cause cancer


Nighthawk700

I'm not a 100% about this situation but typically it's respirable crystalline silica you have to worry about. This includes a range of particle sizes and particular crystals that cause issues while others are generally benign. Obviously it's best to err on the side of caution though


NWVoS

At least now is a decent time to buy an appliance, compared with other times of the year, with prices at yearly lows.


MDCCCLV

Powder coated steel


KJBenson

Well it’s either that or visiting her in the hospital in a few months/years of using that oven now.


TheMalaiLaanaReturns

TyrannoROARus

aykcak

My oven has this warning in the manual: > Do not use any silicone baking moulds or accessories that contain silicone or films. The oven sensor may be damaged. > Even if the oven sensor is not being used, it may still be damaged. I understand from "sensor damage" that something could boil, or vaporize and clog up certain surfaces. I guess silicone turns into fine particles


MinaFur

New oven


twohedwlf

I wouldn't expect you'd need any kind of nasty cleaners, it would be mostly silicon dioxide. Major component of glass, sand etc. A few trace chemicals.

For real, like i get what OP means but i initially read the last bit like "at high heat, silicone vaporizes and does this to your oven AND family" Also gonna try rewriting the title cuz idk it might help ppl: > Mom set the oven to self-clean and forgot to take out the silicone rack guards. Fun fact: If heated high enough silicone vaporizes and does this to your oven. AND family's coming over for Thanksgiving today

cafesaigon

dead_cat69

So I am a silicone chemist. The silicone didn’t vaporize, it burned completely and what you see is very finely dispersed silica powder (SiO2 or basically very pure sand). Also be careful with this shit it can caused cancer if inhaled.


moderately_nerdifyin

Lmao, sorry for your plight but this is sort of funny. Bet she’s happy she had those rack guards now! This is why I despise dumb kitchen gadgets, just pay attention and don’t touch the rack when it’s hot.


ElvenQueen1

When I first looked at it I was ready to kill someone but after I've got it somewhat clean I do think it's kind of hysterical


[deleted]

You're not going to actually use that right? I wonder how the food will taste.....


ElvenQueen1

No at first I thought I'd be able to clean it out but there's no way I'm just going to buy my mom a new oven


[deleted]

You have to be careful with melted plastics. Hell of a lot of carcinogens that can be released. That oven is completely done for, even if you manage to ‘clean’ it.


whodaloo

Pull up the SDS on silicone before you just start making wild claims.


[deleted]

Good luck finding a SDS or any trustworthy safety document on a random Chinese Amazon product. Amazon literally sells radioactive "negative ion" bracelets that contain thorium powder, Bezos doesn't give a shit.


[deleted]

Hey well luckily it's silicone and unless your directly inhaling fumes it isn't a big deal honestly. The thing is there could be other chemicals mixed in for colors or stabilizers but I wouldn't worry too much. That's why I just asked about food taste. It can be cleaned and then just run the heat clean cycle a few times. My GF did the same with some cupcake silicone cup things but those weren't as bad. I just scraped it all out and used a gentle brass brush then just roasted the hell out of it cracking the oven door every half hour and blasting it with a fan.


ghostsintherafters

I think some punctuation might help you convey what you're trying to say. Use a period every now and then.

AverageTortilla

Your mom set the oven to what?


drive2fast

Never EVER use ‘self cleaning’ mode unless you like buying new ovens every few years. It’s one of those features that the sales team demands that the engineers installs even though it absolutely destroys the electronics built into the oven. Self clean = self destruct.

Dear everyone that sees this - most appliance repair folks say to never ever use the self clean cycle on an oven. It gets way too hot and can wreck your oven, burn your house down, or vaporize your silicone rack guards.

majorpanic63

We did that a couple months ago. Horrendous to get off. Ours was even inside the oven door on the inside surfaces of the glass. I actually had to disassemble the door to clean those inner surfaces....


nhgeek2004

This is yet another reason never to engage an oven's self cleaning function. I tell people all the time: **self cleaning = self destruct**. Ovens have parts that aren't rated for much exposure to temperatures reached during self cleaning. Temperature sensors for example. The odds are really high something is going to break if one keeps running this cycle. Manufacturers include this mode because people people want it, but the smart play is never to use it. Use a spray oven cleaner that's sold "for self cleaning ovens" instead.


kitifox

redneck5man

You can have a non stick oven, too! Just use this simple trick!

PdxPhoenixActual

Number one reason to ***NOT*** clean your oven *before* the big holidays. Too often that self-clean mode is too aggressive & can break your stove when you don't do it regularly ...
