Easy rule, don’t put anything in the oven that doesn’t belong in the oven
Who’s to say what belongs in the oven?
For example, bread recipes sometimes tell you to proof the bread by putting it in the oven with the heat off but the light on. There are similar recipes for making yogourt. Or it can be a good place to dry seeds.
Those things “belong” in the oven. But if you turn on the oven without taking them out you might be very sad. That can happen if you’re turning on the oven in person, but it’s easier to verify the oven is empty when you’re doing that.
