Oven Door Gasket

An oven door gasket, also known as a seal, is a crucial component in any oven. Its main purpose is to provide an airtight seal around the oven door, ensuring that heat remains inside the oven and doesn't escape. 

The oven door gasket also helps to keep the interior of the oven clean and free from grease and other food particles that may otherwise seep into the crevices of the door. Without an oven door gasket, heat can escape from the oven, making cooking times longer and leading to uneven cooking.

Over time, an oven door gasket can become worn or damaged, compromising its ability to provide a tight seal. If you notice that heat is escaping from your oven, or if you see that the gasket is visibly damaged, it's time to consider an oven door gasket replacement. Anyone with basic handyman skills can change the gasket on an oven door relatively easily.
