This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

The only large appliances that aren't running 220-240v in the US are the refrigerator and dishwasher .Ovens, washing machines, tumble dryers, furnaces, and water heaters are all on 240 volts.

In Europe, at least my oven is hooked up to 3 phase 400V. That's more than the 240 max you get in the US.

Serious question, with that much power do you even pre-heat the oven? At that much power, I imagine you can just put the food in and turn it on.
