    I used the oven to make some deer jerky once. Not really "baking", and I don't consider it "weird", but some might.

    I've baked a stainless steel telescope counterweight in my oven while I chilled the brass shaft sleeve insert in my freezer so that I could slide it in for an interference fit. The counterweights and shafts I used to make are a work of art. --Jerry

    edit: for scale the bore is for a 1 1/4" shaft. Weight around 6" diameter and 25 lbs each. The lock knob pushes on a brass plunger that is spring loaded to retract and follow the lockscrew out when loosed. Nothing but brass ever touches the polished stainless steel shaft an it doesn't rotate against the shaft as it is tightened. It is my own design. --jerry

    I once had a Studebaker Avanti. A wonderful sleek powerful car. It had these glass headlight covers...well one night coming home from work I hit TWO deer, and broke some of the fiberglass bodywork, and one of the headlight covers.

    So, ever resourceful me made a plaster cast of the unbroken one, and then in the oven heated a piece of lexan to droopy formable condition, and laid it into the plaster mold to shape and cool.

    Worked like a charm. A few years later, I sold the car to a ex-NY state trooper...and the car then became "SEP" (somebody elses problem) (I wonder how he ever fixed the rusted through door/windshield support?)

    I use the dishwasher for my bowling balls (no dry cycle, of course).

    I baked this when I painted it. Not weird to me, but maybe strange to people not in the business. Probably a few coins under the seats.

    Besides coins (to experiment and learn to ID doctoring)? Well, dessicant for my safe, pumpkin seeds, and a ship's gyroscope. Cheers, RickO

    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!
