Melissa in Australia Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 I made a beautiful venison casserole for tea with leftover venison roast. Was cooking in the oven beautifully in my great big airtight pottery casserole dish Has cooked for 3 hours Took it out carefully and checked if it was ready Thought it needed 20 minutes more Put it back in the oven and THE DISH BROKE ALMOST IN HALF I managed to rapidly tilt it on its side, yell out to ds13 to bring the biggest stainless steel dish and save enough for tea. I still have to clean the oven It was my favourite dish. I had it on display on an open shelf when not in use On the bright side I now have a dish for planting succulents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amira Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 I'm sorry. :( But I'm glad you can still use it for another purpose and that tea wasn't ruined. Yuck on cleaning the oven. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa in Australia Posted June 27, 2017 Author Share Posted June 27, 2017 As it is a wood combustion stove the oven cleaning is not so bad. Once it cools I will scrape the larger derbies out then light the stove , heat the oven up and let it all carbonise, then sweep it out.

Junie Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Sorry about the dish. I've had quite a few break over the years, but never one like that. And, in the interest of full disclosure, when I read the first line of your post, I thought the title of the thread should be "Oh, deer". :leaving: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
