Do you say "oven" with the "o" as in "toe",

or do you say "oven" with the "o" as in "muff"?

Pleases respond. I needs it for a project.

Muff. And it's rare to hear me say that.

Muff for me too. I've had many an argument with the foolish toe types who frequent this end of the country.

Somewhere inbetween. And I've checked but BBC Pronunciation has no guidance for "oven".
