Narrative:

The flight attendant called us up on the interphone (during climb) and stated that there was a problem with the forward oven. She said it came on uncommanded. She opened it up and smelt some fumes but said there was no smoke or fire. I instructed her to pull the circuit breaker for the right (affected oven). A little while later she said the oven was still getting hot so I turned off the cab/utility switch momentarily. Maintenance was contacted. They advised for to pull both circuit breakers just in case and that I should not have to turn off the cabin/utility switch. The flight attendant pulled both breakers and I turned the cab/utility switch back on. A little while later the flight attendant called back up and said it was still getting hot so at that point I went back to check. I found the oven warm but not powered up. It continued to cool and all involved (maintenance; all four flight attendant's; and the first officer and I) were in agreement that it was safe to continue. About the last forty five minutes of the flight; the other flight attendant said that her throat was getting a little scratchy. She also stated that they both had a slight headache. I asked if they were dizzy; sick to their stomach; etc. And they said no. I asked if they wanted to contact med-link or have the paramedics meet the plane and they initially declined. Later though they agreed to have the paramedics meet the plane. Dispatch was contacted and med-link was notified. The paramedics met the airplane and they were examined and advised them to go to the hospital.
