I finally visited my aunt in France and her old oven taught me patience.

Back then, baking was slower but felt more REAL.

Yeah totally get that. My grandma's stove took forever to preheat, but waiting for it made the whole kitchen smell amazing for hours. You really had to plan around it instead of just hitting a button. That kind of waiting makes the result feel earned.

I'm too impatient for that, I'd starve waiting.

Read that older appliances force a different, more mindful kind of focus.

Remember how waiting for the oven meant everyone ended up talking in the kitchen. That forced downtime was lowkey where all the real conversations happened.
