Yes. I let my kids know it's hot and it will be cracked open. My kids don't play in the kitchen they know its not a play area.

I always open my oven door to let the heat out. If the door is open, everyone knows its HOT so dont touch.

Yes I always do this.

I was told that the reason for opening the oven door after using the oven is to let the vapor or mist release from the oven or it will rust you interior.. So out of habit I have always done this. When you cook, moisture accumulates inside and it can ruin your oven. The moisture has to go somewhere. Oh well my opinion anyway

I thought I was weird because I do this and didn't think anyone else did! I'm glad to know I'm not the only one! I do it to let the heat into the kitchen since we keep the heat turned down a little and just wear socks and sweaters. I figure I paid for the heat and I want to enjoy it a little more. My kids know that it is hot and stay away and the baby I'll block out of the kitchen or bake when she's napping.

I do in the winter time to get the additional heat which isn't really much.  Hey, a penny saved is a penny earned!

Yes, I do.  My son knows not to go near it and doesn't play in the kitchen anyway.

I have never heard to do that!  Right now my kids are too small, so I can't do it now, but when they get older I'll have to remember to do that.
