I was shoving pot scourers into that scam-ney as fast as I could!

I was happy to hear that my friend's electric bill had dropped even more than the temperature in her hot kitchen!
Ya that's why if you're cooking something in the oven and have optical smoke detectors near by they'll false alarm when you're cooking something, without even opening the oven door.
"Eco mod my oven"?
