The sudden shattering of an oven door can be a startling and potentially dangerous event.
In this guide, we explore the reasons behind the phenomenon of oven door breakage and provide essential tips on preventing it.The factors at play and adopting simple precautions can safeguard not only your appliance but also the well-being of everyone in your kitchen.

Thermal Stress in Oven Doors: Causes and Prevention
How extreme temperature changes, such as opening a hot oven and accidentally splashing it with cold water, can cause thermal stress on the glass.
The impact of sudden temperature variations and how they contribute to the risk of shattering.

**1. Mechanism of Thermal Stress:
Thermal stress in oven doors is a result of the rapid expansion and contraction of materials, particularly glass, due to extreme temperature changes.
During cooking, the oven interior reaches high temperatures. The glass on the oven door expands as it absorbs heat.
Sudden Cooling: When the oven door is opened or exposed to cold elements, the glass undergoes rapid contraction, creating stress on its structure.**2. Factors Contributing to Thermal Stress in Oven Doors:
Abrupt transitions from high to low temperatures and vice versa significantly contribute to thermal stress.
Placing cold items directly onto hot oven glass or accidentally splashing cold liquids can intensify stress.
Inconsistent heating within the oven, potentially caused by a malfunctioning heating element, can create localized hot spots.
