BikeBookBread Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 to be with the oven?? It came with the oven when we bought the home new. The oven also has a probe attachment, which of course, I'll leave, but what about the broiler pan? I know this is a WEIRD question, but we're prepping our home to move out and rent, and I'm wondering if I should take the broiler pan with me. I use it ALL the time, and it's a nice heavy enameled pan, not like ones you buy aftermarket. For those of you who rent, is there generally a broiler pan with the oven?

Snickerdoodle Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Well, with a gas oven the broiler sometimes is at the bottom and the pan that came with the oven is the one that fits into the racks there. I consider it part of the oven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I consider it part of the oven. It's an electric oven, and the pan doesn't fit anywhere specifically -- just the pan with removable slitted top. I keep it in the drawer under the oven. (It's a freestanding range.) The oven isn't super high-end, but it isn't bottom of the line either -- it's a 3 year old GE Profile ceramic-top with 5 burners (1 is a warmer, and two of the burners convert into a bridge burner) with convection oven.

KatieJ Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 I have been a landlord for over 25 years and I left ice cube trays, broiler pans..etc. Unfortunately, the tenants felt no guilt about taking them with them when they left! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
********* Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 It's an electric oven, and doesn't fit anywhere specifically -- just the pan with removable slitted top. In that case, no, I would not expect the oven to come with a broiler pan. Only if it were like the pp said, a gas stove that has a bottom broiler with a specific pan that fits it.

Unicorn. Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 I haven't rented in years, but when I did, I didn't use the broiler that came w/ the oven. I say take it w/ you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scuff Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 If you want that one, and it's not stove specific, you could juat get an aftermarket one to leave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debora R Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Having rented out a home once upon a time....I would recommend that you keep your broiler pan since you use it so much. If you feel that you "should" leave one with the oven, buy an aftermarket pan that will fit well enough. lol - I took my nice dishwasher with me! I bought a contractors' model to leave with the house. I left it for my SIL when we moved this last time, but it's still going strong!

I keep hoping that they ask for our washer/dryer. We're moving to NOVA, and most of the homes have a washer/dryer in them...usually nice front loader, too :) But as DH reminds me, if we left it, and it died, we'd have to buy new ones for the home to replace the ones we left.

Parrothead Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Every house I've rented, and there have been many, has always had a broiler pan with the oven. There is no way to tell if the one I end up renting is original to the oven. And I cart mine with me so I end up with two. Except right now I've got 3. I'm not sure how. :001_huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In the Rain Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 I was going to suggest buying a cheapie also. You wouldn't mind so much if they packed it up and took it accidentally. If I was a renter, I wouldn't expect a broiler pan though, any more than I would expect other pots and pans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how. :001_huh: All of our houses, except the on base house overseas (where the movers pack everything!) has had a broiler pan. I don't know if it was teh original to the stove, but I think of them as being PART of the stove. One came with the stove, one should stay with the stove. If you like yours so much, buy another to leave with the stove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoyfulMama Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 There was no broiler pan when we rented here. I wouldn't have expected there to be one. However the packers packed mine from the house we sold, so I still have one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherry in OH Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Take your broiler pan with you. If your tenants complain, buy a cheap one for them. As an aside, new stoves no longer come with broiler pans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TX Bluebonnet Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 I would never miss it. But if you feel inclined to leave a cheap replacement that would be nice. I would not leave the good one, you'll probably never see it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scuff Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Glad to help :) Another broiler pan tip: after they leave, if you have a self-cleaning oven, stick it in there when you clean the oven. It'll be just like new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 When we bought our new stove, we would have had to buy the broiler pan separately for an extra amount. So we don't have a broiler pan at all. I say take it & enjoy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraGB Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 I can honestly say that I don't remember ever having the broiler pan in a rental. Bought my own and toted it with me with each move. Which is why I currently have 3 (the original one I bought and the ones that came with the 2 new ovens over the past 15 years). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kissy Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 (edited) I have rented many homes and never did it come with a broiler pan. I do agree if things are left most tenants feel that the last tenants forgot it so they either take it or throw it away. I personally threw away dishes I found in an apartment that I moved into. I will not use stuff if I don't know who used it last and how they cleaned. Would you leave a cookie sheet too? I wouldn't think anyone would expect any pans, pots, etc to be left unless negotiated in the contract. Edited June 4, 2010 by Kissy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Wife Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 I was very annoyed to discover when we bought our house that the broiler pan was not with the stove. We'd always had broiler pans come with the rentals (and the Army housing did as well). It never occurred to me that it WOULDN'T be there.

laundrycrisis Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 We just bought a brand new gas oven and it did not come with a broiler pan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Buckin' Longhorn Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 When we moved into our rental, there wasn't a broiler pan in the stove. I complained to the landlord and had them provide one. To me, it's a part of the stove. I bet if we moved and it was not there, they'd charge it against our deposit. I guess, since we rent, I've made a very concerted effort to report even the smallest things like that to the landlord. They don't mean much to me in day to day living, but they sure seem to mean a lot (in terms of $$$) when we move out :glare:. If you don't want to leave your nice one, buy another one and leave it in there. I'm sure your tenants will appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikeBookBread Posted June 4, 2010 Author Share Posted June 4, 2010 I had no idea this thread would be so popular! You never know what people have opinions about, huh? :lol: 2:1 take the pan with me. I'm definitely taking my pan, but I'm going to buy a replacement to keep with the oven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ToGMom Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 We're the homeowners. So when the renters left, they might take it with them??? You'd be surprised at what renters will take with them...:glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nestof3 Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 (edited) I feel stupid for asking. I thought a broiler pan was something you buy -- like a pot or a pan. Isn't it the thing with a slited top that you cook things on? Why should something like that come with an oven? ***************** I just googled it and it looks like something that comes with an oven. I had no idea! I thought my husband bought it (the oven was here before I was). So, if I were to look in the instruction manual, which I would also leave with the stove, and see the broiler pan mentioned as part of it, then: yes, I'd leave the broiler pan.

Impish Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Every place we've rented had the broiler pan. This place we're in now, it was all new appliances, so a brand new broiler pan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatieJ Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 We're the homeowners. So when the renters left, they might take it with them??? Absolutely do not expect it to be there when they leave. If they don't ruin it, it just dissappears. Sorry, but too many years of experience here. manuals for furnaces and applicances we carefully left in the house, all dissapeared along with the broiler pans and ice cube trays.
