Male Female

I would like to describe a technology that I recently bought and find very difficult to use. Actually, I learned some recipes from my sister. It's like baking a cake and various other baking recipes for making different bread loaves. My sister taught me because she just went to cookery classes, and whatever she learned there, she always tells me over the phone that she learned this and that she used this kind of machinery to make such things. I told her that I have an oven at home and can cook all the things she told me. After using her recipes, I tried to manage with my current oven. It turned out that the recipes I was trying were not particularly suited for the oven that I owned before. To improve my results with those recipes, I asked my husband, who works at Best Buy, to buy me a new oven. He got me the best oven from the store because he could apply his employee discount, and we were able to buy a new LG oven with lots of features. For me, I am not a very tech-savvy person. When the oven arrived at our home, I saw that there were around 25 features on it, and I asked my husband if he could explain the features to me. He was quite busy these days and has not been able to explain all the features. When I first tried to use it, I mistakenly turned the temperature very high because the functioning of this oven is very different from the functioning of my old oven. I wasn't able to use it properly, so I turned the dial incorrectly, and the temperature ended up being very high. As a result, the whole recipe got burnt, and my whole house was full of smoke.
