My baking counter is just a tally of how many times I've set off the smoke alarm and then eaten the evidence anyway. Congrats on the crumb breakthrough though, that's the kind of win that makes the 23 charred bricks feel like tuition fees for oven school. I'm convinced my oven has a personal vendetta against me, so I just bake everything at 350 and pray. Maybe I need to start a sticky note too, but mine would just say "buy more flour" in increasingly messy handwriting.
