My ex-husband used to hate it when I did that. I always thought it made perfect sense to use the residual heat from cooking the meal to dry them for me. I suppose his issue was that I often forgot about them and so the next time he needed the oven, he would turn it on not realizing the pans were still in there.
I never fully understood the complaint because if I happened to do the same, I would just grab a hot hit and pull them out of there as soon as I realized my mistake. They cool pretty fast on the stove top.
And honestly, if I was cleaning pans while the oven was still warm, it meant I was on top of dishes which I would have thought he would appreciate. But I never could do anything right. He didn't like how I loaded the dishwasher either.
Anyway, I now store my pans in the oven so I definitely don't think twice about using that heat to dry them!
