I am a 52-year-old woman who loves to cook and try new recipes. Unfortunately because I work full time I am unable to enjoy cooking as much as I would like. Anything with chicken, pasta or Italian I am Polish and have fond memories of my mom and grandmother's polish dishes. I recently baked a blueberry pie which I hadn't made in years. It came out absolutely delicious. One day I was baking something in the oven and as I was removing the item, I dropped a steak knife with a wooden handle which went to the very bottom of the oven. because it was so hot I decided to let it cool and go back for it later. Well of course I forgot about it and the next time I turned the oven on I remembered all right my new GE oven was on fire and the entire house filled with smoke in a matter of minutes. I thought I was fortunate that my husband was home to help but as I was calling the fire department he proceded to distinguish the fire with water from the sink. Finally we realized that all we had to do was to turn the oven off. By that time the fire department was in my house with about 6 men. Luckily everything turned out fine and my house did not burn down but miraculously my new stove and oven survived. The moral of the story. 1) Never leave anything flamable in the bottom of your oven and 2) the GE profile stoves are excellent!!
