[Sca-cooks] The Tiniest Little Gloat

[euriol]

This reminds me of an issue with an oven (at home, thankfully) I had
*thinks* 13 years ago. My mother put in an acorn squash to bake, and after
an hour we got what looked like a lump of coal. Now my mother has baked
acorn squash since I can remember... since it was the first time we used
the oven after buying the house, we got an appliance repair man to look at
it. What happened was the oven got stuck in the self-cleaning cycle and was
cooking that poor squash at 900F. So to think that food could surving any
length of time higher than that, well my experience tells me otherwise.
