Baking goof of the month

Problems with my oven, and need a new computer-chip thingy for the front (broils when you hit bake), but in checking for problems, I found this "Pompeii croissant" in the back:

Ooopsie ....

Best of luck getting your oven back on line!

an olde style mechanical thermostat is all you need! Curse these new fangled computer controllers... (Says he, in the middle of designing one!)

In fact, it seems that's working - when the broil made the oven go to more than 650F, we had the appropriate alarm/message show up on the stove's screen :)

that well baked aroma!    

Plan a ceremonial burial for archeologists to find in a few thousand years?  Add an old cup and metal spoon, and write a poem in a jelly jar.  :)

Did you see any recall notices for your oven make?

Mind you, considering my sweetie roasts veg in there all week, and I crank 'er up to 500 every weekend for an hour or so, 9.5 years of yeoman service before major maintenance is OK by me.

burnt offering deserves a burial.  (I got to thinking which one of my coffee cups I'd bury on such an occasion.)

I'd keep the oven.  :)
