The timer on my oven might as well just be glued on the front after the fact. It's just a little clockwork twist timer with no connection to overall the mechanism of the oven at all.
I've never used an oven that automatically turns off after the timer buzzes. That sounds luxurious!
(and honestly, sounds like a super helpful OT tool/accommodation for me to be more independent/safe when cooking, so I know what to look for in a new oven.... Not that I get a choice of oven as a renter, you get what you get)
where tf do you guys buy your ovens this is actually wild to me
The last 3 places I've lived in have come with various models of this budget burner

it's a gas oven and mine is electric so maybe that's why?
Maybe, I imagine it's much harder to have an auto shut off timer when you also need to mechanically close the gas valves. But I think it could just be the price point, the one at my current unit is an electric built in, but it's also just a reminder timer. Not sure what brand it is, all the paint on the front has long since worn away (it was installed in 1998 according to the REA) - so I also don't quite know what temperature I'm cooking at. (when I moved in I put a probe thermometer in there and spent about 4 hours playing with the temperature dial and marking it with nail polish so I could at least have a vague idea of what temperature I was setting the oven to)
check out my "luxurious" oven from the 90s that shuts off automatically after the timer ends (it has both microwave and convection (hot air) as well as other options I never use)
I mean every oven I've ever had has a cook time and a timer, the cook time turns the oven off when done and the timer just beeps, plus it doesn't require that your oven be on, so you can use it for other things. Also your link doesn't work.
finally someone else with a normal oven lol
and yeah apparently streamable didn't want to cooperate
