I’ve never heard of an oven turning off when a timer is done, can you provide a link to one please?
What if the food isn’t done cooking and needs more time? Now it needs to warm back up, and it can also still continue to cook in the still warmIsh oven even if it turned off. So I don’t see the point either?
I’m 35 and was working with an oven in the “50+ year mark”, just a few years ago.
I have preheated overnight
I have baked cookies, cinnamon rolls, frozen pizza etc… overnight
I’ve had it justa warming my house, cause I didn’t turn it off
Maybe I’m irresponsible… maybe older ovens are less forgiving. When my stove/oven was finally replaced, I didn’t have that issue. And it also cooked properly/evenly (a bonus).
What I’m kinda saying is: old stoves/ovens don’t “easily” die, because they’re easily repaired. But ya gotta keep your eye on them when they’re cooking. And they will keep cooking, regardless of timer.
That “timer” is an analog ‘buzz-noise’, but it don’t do anything to stop the heat. It’s a reminder/warning… for you to come deal with it
The timer on my oven might as well just be glued on the front after the fact. It’s just a little clockwork twist timer with no connection to overall the mechanism of the oven at all.
I’ve never used an oven that automatically turns off after the timer buzzes. That sounds luxurious!
(and honestly, sounds like a super helpful OT tool/accommodation for me to be more independent/safe when cooking, so I know what to look for in a new oven… Not that I get a choice of oven as a renter, you get what you get)
check out my “luxurious” oven from the 90s that shuts off automatically after the timer ends (it has both microwave and convection (hot air) as well as other options I never use)
I mean every oven I’ve ever had has a cook time and a timer, the cook time turns the oven off when done and the timer just beeps, plus it doesn’t require that your oven be on, so you can use it for other things. Also your link doesn’t work.
Are there really ovens without a timer that will keep cooking indefinitely? I’ve only ever known ovens that require you to set a time.

Still, link please.
Well if you don’t take too long it’s still hot so it will be fine.
I guess, but at least it won’t be cooking at full capacity anymore. If anything this is good because the oven is then keeping your food hot.
I don’t have a link. The one I have isn’t being sold anymore and the company only sells printers these days.
I’ve only ever used ovens without a timer, no protections whatsoever against leaving them on indefinitely
where do you live man that’s wild
Privilege speaking. Dude cannot fathom older ovens existing.
Mine is older than me. I’m 22

sorry didn’t realise by old you meant ancient
Lol yeah…I guess it’s relative. Thinking about it, that thing was probably considered an antique. May as well have had a wood burning stove
I have a 3 year old one but its a basic model so the timer only beeps after it runs out and you still have to turn the knob to shut it off.

The last 3 places I’ve lived in have come with various models of this budget burner

it’s a gas oven and mine is electric so maybe that’s why?
