One evening, I was quietly sitting in the living room when I heard a loud bang 💥 coming from the kitchen 🍽️. I ran to see what it was.
I was shocked 😱 to see the oven door completely shattered, even though it wasn’t even turned on.
In reality, this kind of situation is more common than we think 🤯. You can find all the reasons and tips to avoid such incidents in the article in the first comment 👇👇👇.
According to several internet users, this type of incident happens often.
Since 2019, more than 450 cases have been reported to the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
And in all these cases, the ovens were not plugged in.
So let’s try to understand the reasons for these incidents.
Firstly, this can happen because of the new types of glass used for ovens.
In the past, manufacturers used heat-resistant borosilicate glass.
And now, they use cheaper glass that cannot withstand heat as well.
The second reason could be physical damage.
Even small scratches, which are not very visible, can weaken the glass over time.
So, to protect yourself from such explosions, avoid cleaning the oven with rough products.
Close the door gently without slamming, especially when it’s on.
Check the glass regularly, and if you notice small cracks, replace the glass.
