When cooking in an oven, is steam supposed to leak out of the front?

[Deja Q]

and drip down the front?

I never use my oven any more because it drips something awful and the landlord keeps saying there's no problem...

1. Sounds like a seal may be gone around the door

Are you cooking something with a lot of water in it?

[Deja Q]

2. No. Just chicken wings coated in batter.

4. Sounds like you have a leaky door gasket.

Not really that difficult to fix. Tell your landlord that it is a leaky door gasket, and that he does need to fix it, because in addition to steam escaping your oven, so is a significant portion of the heat - and it is affecting your ability to cook (I know you do not use it much, but he does not know that).

I would not be able to function if my oven were doing that.

5. No, that is strange

the landlord should fix it, what if one day it goes boom :scared:
