      I have a 3 year old one but its a basic model so the timer only beeps after it runs out and you still have to turn the knob to shut it off.

        Yeah so it’s not “privilege speaking”. Since my oven is so old I assumed every new oven would be like that.

      I’m 35 and was working with an oven in the “50+ year mark”, just a few years ago.

      I have preheated overnight

      I have baked cookies, cinnamon rolls, frozen pizza etc… overnight

      I’ve had it justa warming my house, cause I didn’t turn it off

      Maybe I’m irresponsible… maybe older ovens are less forgiving. When my stove/oven was finally replaced, I didn’t have that issue. And it also cooked properly/evenly (a bonus).

      What I’m kinda saying is: old stoves/ovens don’t “easily” die, because they’re easily repaired. But ya gotta keep your eye on them when they’re cooking. And they will keep cooking, regardless of timer.

      That “timer” is an analog ‘buzz-noise’, but it don’t do anything to stop the heat. It’s a reminder/warning… for you to come deal with it
