[QUOTE="klmno, post: 121502, member: 3699"] Donna- I hadn't used my self-cleaning oven either for the same reason but I watched my Mom do it while she was visiting once. It was a good tting I did- it heats up the whole kitchen, can smell and loook like it's getting ready to catch on fire and apparently this is normal. I don't feel so afraid of doing it myself now but if I hadn't known it was supposed to do this, I would have been calling the fire dept.! Marguerite: Great suggestions! David: Great to see (read) you! If you get tired of tacos and pepper steak- I have found that any beef (roast, steak, burgers) comes out great on my little charcoal grill if I only dash it with worstecchire sauce. I have the same problem if I try to cook it in the oven- unless it is meatloaf. Yes, I grill in the middle of winter! If the roast isn't done on the inside, stick it in the oven a little longer- it still has great flavor. Or, get a crock-pot- They come with a recipe book for roast and vegies. All you have to do is throw them in there and turn it on! Or, I buy a bag of frozen meatballs, a jar of spaghetti sauce- brown crumbled ground beef in skillet with a jar of mushrooms, chopped onion or whatever you like, add the meatballs a few minutes, move that to a big pot, pour in jar of sauce and simmer. It's easy and lasts a few days and is next best thing to home-made sauce! Chili: brown ground beef with chopped onion, mix in large pot with pack of chilli spices, large can of kidney beans - liquid and all, small can of tomato sauce, small can of diced tomotes, dash of worstechire sauce. Simmer. We serve with grated cheese on top. Also lasts a few days. If you don't eat it all, put in plastice container and freeze- it can be heated in micro anytime. As a single working parent myself, I understand the need for quick easy meals! And- when my difficult child went to detention, I didn't eat a bite for 4 days. I think I finally lost the last few remaining pounds I put on while pregnant with him! [/QUOTE]
