use black construction paper instead of black paint for the bottom of the box…much more non toxic lol

Great idea! I’m going to try this project this summer when it is too hot to use my indoor oven. Thanks for sharing! =)

o, ok if your that worried you also better stop breathing too, all cars produce the same gas.

You are correct, this paint will work for hi temps, however they will not not pass an fda inspection applied to internal oven surfaces, you are missing the point, paints OUTGASS volitile substances when temps rise, even after curing, these hi temp paints flake off and can contaminate baked items.

You go to the store anyway so you just get it when you go…no waste of gas.
Everything gets thrown away eventually.
Using it over and over offsets the original production energy.
If everybody didn’t use the oven for that 5 minutes, there would be a huge energy savings.
Also, it’s a survival item.

I think I would use more energy driving to the store getting the products….also you are going to have to throw that away after a while so there is trash…if you do not recycle it all….not to include the energy it took to manufacture the items you are using….sooooooo I will stick to a few mins in the oven.
