to think this shouldn't need explaining?

[HangingOver]

Me and DP going over to a friend's tonight...she's cooking. I made a really nice loaf with the last of my herbs from my holiday to take with us. I had to go out but the bread was second proofing in the tin so I said to DP, I've set the beeper, when it goes off, can you turn the over on to X temperature, then when its come up to temp, pop the bread in for 32 mins and then put it on the rack to cool. He said ok. He send me a pic of it when he got it out the oven saying it smelt lovely. When I got home he goes, 'come and look at the bread it looks good'. It looked nice but on closer inspection, it had some weird blue bits on it, almost like melted wax. Turns out he baked it with the oiled cling film from the proof still on top of it. He said he know cling film shouldn't go in the oven but he "didn't notice it". I'm trying really hard not to be cross. Did I need to leave clearer instructions? Should I be worried?? AIBU?

Lol why would you be worried?

He didn't see it to take it off, mistakes happen. It's okay to be annoyed because you went to a lot of effort with it but I think YABU to be annoyed at your DH or take it out on him - or to even suggest you need to be worried by it

He made mistake. I could imagine doing something similar myself if I want thinking

I understand your frustration, but it was a mistake, accidents happen.

Very annoying, but an innocent enough mistake. I once made a lovely bolognese and then, when eating it, realised I’d left the paper that came stuck underneath the block of mince and cooked it into the meat

Depends. If this kind of thing happens rarely, it's probably a mistake.

If it happens routinely, he is training you not to expect him to do anything kitchen (and household? Mental load? etc.....) related.

And before you know it, you are doing it all, while he 'chills'...

If this is the biggest problem in your life, you need a head wobble. Come on.

I'd be bloody cross. What a nitwit!

Mistakes happen.

I think if you’re at the level of telling someone to wait for the oven to warm up and to put it on a rack to cool (instead of just “32 mins at 160°) then you’re at the level of telling them there is cling film to remove. The more steps in your instructions, the more anyone will think that EVERYTHING to be done is in those steps.

A one off - meh.

This sort of helpless shit all the time? Would get old.

You have him very specific instructions. He followed them.

Is that all?

Laugh it off

Its bread not diamonds

Depends. If this kind of thing happens rarely, it's probably a mistake

No, in fact he said he was trying really hard to make sure he did it at the right temp and time etc. but "didn't see it". I think my initial cross reaction was because he laughed when he realised what he'd done. He's done a few weird thing this week actually but been really busy with work not much free brain space maybe.

Yes, you should have told him to remove the clingfilm.
