It started subtly—a burner taking just a few seconds longer to glow red, the oven temperature feeling a little off for your famous chocolate chip cookies. Now, it's a full-blown kitchen crisis. The large burner only works on the "inferno" setting or not at all, the oven preheats to what can only be described as "arctic" or "surface of the sun" with no in-between, and you're pretty sure the clock has been blinking "12:00" since last Thanksgiving.
