The New Yorker: THE MISTRUST OF SCIENCE

12. I know I couldn't

I live in a somewhat inconvenient location so daily shopping runs aren't practical, plus I have chickens who lay more eggs than we can eat at once. We do have a smaller, highly efficient refrigerator though.

The thing that really bothered me was the size of the average oven, where an enormous cavern is being heated to cook a loaf of bread or a normal-size dinner entree. My range has four small ovens, big enough to cook almost anything (yes, even a turkey as I'm often asked) that aren't giant wasteful boxes. One is a convection oven, and I have no idea how I lived so long without one. And it's much easier to clean a small oven!
