    OMG I never knew such a thing existed! I've had the same prob with Oskar touching the oven, mind you he touched it when it was hot one day and now seems to "test" it with a finger first. Although I will look into this cos I'm so scared of him burning himself and he can open the door too and the only oven lock I could find is a useless piece of crud!

    hehe I just have to say it...I thought 'Hands off the oven!' was gonna be about ppl touching your 'baby bump' lol! DH this morning mentioned something about having a bun in the oven so guess thats where my thought came from!

    with my nephews & nieces, we just used to touch the oven (when cold), go "ouch hot" while shaking fingers (like we'd burnt our fingers), each of the kids got to touch the oven when it was warm (not hot, but almost cold, but enough to feel the warmth) and we did the "ouch hot" with that, it took a couple of times and then the kids would stay away from the oven. My brother got a glass fronted fireplace when the two youngest were still quite small and they'd learnt "ouch hot" by then and would point to the fireplace and tell you "ouch hot".
