The incredible aroma of almonds and chocolate filled the house. My mouth was watering for that first crisp bite that I knew I would have to wait a little longer for. I waited for the buzzer, ready at the edge of my seat. It rang. I jumped, excited that there was only one more step. The logs of goodness would have to be removed from the oven, cut into cookies and toasted before I could share them with our company and enjoy one myself.
I opened the oven, pleased with the light golden color of the tops of my biscotti. And then I saw it. In disbelief I stared the terrible blight on one of my masterpieces. I quickly examined the other three logs to find that they, too, had been tainted. I think I might have let a whimper escape my lips.
My double batch of biscotti (*sob*) was ruined by an exploding oven lamp! I've never had that happen to me before. Most of the bulb was sitting on top of the log directly in front of the fixture and there were tiny shards of glass baked into the other three logs.
Maybe my oven is allergic to nuts . . .

Oh, so sad! (I thought you were going to say there was a toasting mishap...I tend to leave stuff in the broiler too long and burn it...as well you know!)
Awww. I've never heard of the bulb actually exploding before. That's way worse than the non-stick-coating-sticking-to-food problem!
Sandie,
Since that is a fairly new oven, I would call the mfg. and tell them what happened.
There might be a problem with the oven itself (its wiring for example) their might be a recall on it etc.
I've never had that happen, however my oven lights are behind a clear covering. I'm sort of surprised your's was out in the open.
Mommy
