Wait, did you hear about that study they did a while back comparing cookies to actual soft pretzels? I caught a segment on the radio about it and apparently they found that both have that same golden brown look but cookies are way more fragile and crumbly. Just made me think of that when you said "pretend pretzels" because it's so true how cookies try to look all sturdy like a pretzel but then just fall apart in your hand or get all gooey in the middle.

The instant start is nice, but I still think gas has more power for heavy wet stuff.

Good point! Those old metal pipes are signal killers for sure. They really need to put that info front and center in the manual.
