I just realized my oven rack was in the wrong spot for years...

I kept getting burnt bottoms on my cookies, no matter the recipe or pan. Last week, my friend watched me bake and said, 'Your rack is way too high, dude.' I moved it down one slot, to the middle, and my next batch came out perfect. I guess I never read the manual when I got the oven six years ago. Has anyone else had a simple fix like that for a long-running baking problem?

Congratulate your friend on solving a six-year mystery with one look.

Hold on, one look solving a six year mystery sounds like pure luck. It probably means they missed something obvious for years, which isn't great detective work. A real solution needs proof and checking facts, not just a sudden guess. That quick fix might even be wrong and cause more problems later.

Yeah exactly, sometimes the obvious stuff gets buried under all the overthinking.
