Why do ovens have a button for toggling the internal light off and on? If the oven is on, the light should be on. If the oven is off, the light should be off. Simple. #TheDesignOfEverydayThings#FoodieUX

@cleverdevil Say you wanted to use the light to raise the temperature just a little to nurture your sourdough leaven ???

@jeremycherfas sounds like an edge case to me ;)

@cleverdevil in a college physics class I had to determine the difference in bake time with and without the light on.

@cleverdevil why use more, even a bit of electricity then needed? Would love to know...has to add a mimnimal fraction of heat

@cleverdevil I mean, it was technically faster with the light on...but by a completely negligible amount. The math also didn’t take into account energy usage, and I bet it’d be a wash if you did because most appliances are limited to how much power they can draw.

when cleaning the oven you might want light but no heat

The cleaning cycle could keep the light off :)

🤷🏻♂️ I still need to clean mine by hand and it’s useful to have light for that.

@jgmac1106 the heat and electricity are so minimal, I think it’s worth it.

When the door is open, the light is on!

@cleverdevil I thought it was all about edge cases.

sometimes you need the light on and the oven off, like when you want your yeast to raise at a controlled low temperature, or you need to make yogurt overnight

Wow, honestly I never thought of this but you’re totally right! #TheHottestOfTakes

I heard that yeast doesn't react well when the light is on. For those who bakes their own bread (PS: My family name, Boulanger, means bread maker. But I am not an authority on the subject #meta)
