Question from Charise
Debra,
My family and I seem to react to foods that are baked.
We can eat the same food when it is cooked in a skillet or pot on the stove, but not in the oven.
What type of things would off gas or fume in a gas heated oven?
What about the oven light?
Any suggestions on how to investigate this and find the cause?
Debra’s Answer
You don’t say if it is a gas or electric oven.
If you have a gas oven, it’s possible that combustion by-products from the gas could be present that would get into the food. Gas is supposed to burn “clean” but if the gas jets are clogged or faulty in some way, this could occur.
Readers, any other ideas?
