If you have an electric oven, I don't see why you couldn't get an X10
unit to handle this.

That sounds like something I was looking for (x10 circuit breakers).
They're probably expensive.

X10 is the company that made themselves famous for the browser
pop-up (and then pop-under) ad campaign. In my opinion, buying
something from them is as bad as buying something from a spammer.

Just my opinion.
