Anyone have a clue what this is?
I cleaned my oven yesterday (it's a self-cleaner) and, as customary, i used my vacuum to clean up the ashes left behind. This time, there was a fair amount of white residue on the glass and the oven floor, so I took a wet dishcloth and cleaned it up, which was when I discovered this little critter lurking in a dark, back corner. It appears to be some sort of light-weight ceramic. Top and bottom are the same. It's a tad over 1 1/2 inch both in diameter and in height.
Ideas? I started to toss it, but wondered if it might be critical to oven operation, although the oven appeared to work just fine without it.....
