Why does nobody talk about the chaos when your oven door latch breaks mid-bake?
Mine snapped shut during a charity bake sale in Boise, trapping two dozen cupcakes inside a 350-degree oven. I had to unplug it and wait an hour, turning a potential win into a total fail. Has anyone else had to improvise a fix during an event?

Actually see that as a total win for improvisation. You kept a safety hazard from getting worse by stopping the bake, and those cupcakes probably would've dried out anyway. A broken latch forcing a cool down is way better than a burnt mess or a fire.

Totally agree, @abby_robinson58. I read a kitchen safety tip that said a broken oven door is a major red flag to stop everything.
