Default Range clock - Disconnect it!

So I pulled my electric range out from the wall, unplugged it, and
disconnected the clock. (Only do this if you know what you are doing.)


Savings? Bah. Now you'll have to buy your wife a watch.


Watches are pretty much out of vogue as most people check their cell
phones fro time. It looks like you'll have to buy her a new cellphone
for kitchen work.

Electric consumption of any clock, sans lighting, is nearly
negligible. Certainly compared to a ranges power use!
