A lot of times, it is thanks to “accidents” that we learn something new. In my case, I was making banana bread (sorry, no post on that one, it was something that I thought on doing on the spot) and, at the end, by mistake, I did not turn off the oven completely. (I did not realize this until the following night). In a way, I am ashamed as one of the first lessons I learned from my mother was to NEVER walk away from a heat source… Sure, it was barely “on” and the heating element of the oven was just warm but a mistake is a mistake. Of course, that also taught me I could use it to slow roast something…
