Is it safe to use a Frigidaire electric oven with the inner door glass broken? I just HAD to try to clean it!
With any plain electric oven yes, as long as it's not a microwave.
You will ofcourse loose a lot of heat and can do the same as I wrote underneath regarding a microwave oven to counter this loss. Only then wrap the foil around the door from the inside because the electric oven tends to get hot and would melt the tape.
Even when it's a microwave and you just have to cook you could
tape some aluminium foil to the door from the inside and *do* make sure there are no cracks where radiation can leak out.
Any piece of heat resistant glass will do, even from the scrapyard or salvaged from another broken oven as long as it fits or is cut to fit by your local glass place. The glass is tempered to withstand the heat better and coated dark to give this oldfashioned look to the oven :)
A plain piece of glass would even do the trick for a long time as glass *starts* (strain point) melting from around 500 degrees celsius and your oven will hopefully never reach that temperature.

Yes, it's a conventional range and I only will need it to warm some leftovers. Another question and thanks for the quick reply btw, looking at the parts places online, I see a price of $50+ for the glass. Is this some special glass or can I take a sample of it to my local glass place and get a 17.5x8 inch piece cut and just put it back? The outer piece is intact and looks like regular glass, the inner may be a little darker and may be tempered.
Thanks again!
