We had mashed potatoes, carrots, and sugar snap peas, with haddock,
dusted with seasoned flour and sauteed in half butter, half sunflower
oil.

Oh, that sounds good, mmmmmmm haddock! I'm dreading that oven.
Not the actual cooking just turning that dial knowing my kitchen
will feel like a blast furnace for over an hour.

Americans here often say that their oven heats up their kitchen if not
half their house. I've never noticed much heat coming of an oven
unless I stand almost against it. Maybe we're talking about different
appliances.

American ovens are poorly insulated.

Physics tells us, though, that the heat from your oven will eventually
make its way out into your kitchen.
