My oven gets to 550f, and because (I suspect) it turned the crap in the air fry catch tray into carbon monoxide, buy bird got gassed and was pretty fucked up for a bit and we had a good scare. Three good news is the bird is fine and getting better medical care than I am. The bad news is I'm only allowed to bake at 450f.
>Allowed
If this bird wasn't so amazing I wouldn't put up with it, but I'm not going to argue the point. I value this bird more than nearly all people. You have no idea.

Correct. I do recipes that call for " 550f or the highest setting your oven goes" at lower temperatures all the time. Obviously there are exceptions, but almost everything can be cooked at 350f.

Also, they may use teflon inside the electronics and that can off gas. You can't get a strait answer out of them and I'm not sure they even know.

Yeah, you're right. By coating I meant Teflon kind of shit, but that was retarded of me. I have no experience of enamel. I really like my cast iron cookware, but I admit it's impractical.

I'm in an old house and we have few outlets. I have a new kick-ass range that puts out really good BTUs. Maybe that's the problem, lol. I'm using it more to scald flour and cook bulgur then to make drinks so it's nice to boil the shit in seconds. Maybe there's a reason your not supposed to do that, but I'm noob.
Anyway, I appreciate the help. This has been bugging me all day.
We had an incident where our feathered friend nearly died from (we think) carbon monoxide exposure from running the oven too high without thoroughly cleaning it. Vet said if it was Teflon she'd have died for sure.
I really care, and you've all been a tremendous help.
Pic related, x-ray of my bird following indecent. That was scary. NEVER AGAIN!
