While I understand the concern, I just have to ask "How many times has your gas oven malfunctioned enough to cause you to intervene." In my case I've had gas for over 40 years with ZERO problems. We certainly leave things in the oven when we realize we need to run a short errand and haven't ever given it a second thought.
