minus-square@Hobbes@startrek.websitelinkfedilink1•2 years agoMy oven has a dial for mode that invites bake, roast, and broil, and a second dial for temperature.

minus-square@Hobbes@startrek.websitelinkfedilink1•2 years agoI’m aware of what broil is. I burn stuff I’m broiling all the time because I’m forgetful. It’s bake/roast that is at issue here.
