Oven fix taking forever is messing up my days

My good oven broke down last Tuesday. The repair place said they can't get to it until next week. I'm stuck using a spare that heats in patches, so my breads and pastries come out wrong. What do you guys do when your main gear is out of action?

Read somewhere that putting a baking steel or even just a thick pan on the rack below can help even out weird oven heat. Might salvage a batch of cookies or something while you wait.

Oh man, that’s a smart move. My oven is so bad it bakes one side of a cookie sheet to a crisp and leaves the other side raw dough. I tried the pan trick once but I think my oven is just cursed.

Try a pizza stone too, but let it preheat for a full hour first.
