No need to cool of the oven or lose the pan stream that way. I hope this will be of help. :) Together we shall overcome our appliance deficiencies.

I have a friend who isn't thrilled with her cooktop, and she'll be happy to try this in the oven, I'm sure. Well, she's not thrilled with her stove's oven either, but this would work because you actually turn the oven off.

While browning the rice, I had my kids running all over the kitchen and climbing up my legs, and the rice burned. I was so disappointed, your picture looks so good!
