Using baking analogy about work, my Chicago friend was trying to explain about redundancy problems with his oven. Redundant meaning a standby flame kicks in if the primary flame dies out, but the standby flame doesn't seem to come on fast enough or strong enough. As a result, the cake doesn't rise and can't get baked. I asked him if there is some other way to describe it so the oven can sound more sympathetic or human. I'm moronic aren't I?
