That rubber strip around your oven door is called the gasket or seal, and it's vital for a perfectly cooked meal! If it's torn or damaged, heat can escape, making your oven work harder, wasting energy, and causing your food to cook unevenly.
Why is it so important?
● Keeps heat in: It creates a tight seal that prevents heat from escaping, ensuring your food cooks evenly and your oven doesn't have to work overtime.
● Saves energy: When heat leaks out, your oven has to use more energy to maintain the set temperature, leading to higher utility bills.
● Protects your kitchen: A faulty seal can cause the area around your oven to become dangerously hot.
Regularly inspect your oven door seal for any tears, cracks, or looseness. If you notice heat escaping, or if your food is cooking unevenly, a new seal might be all you need.
