I introduced the concept of adding a chunk of marble to my baking instructor at culinary school. Our bread oven had a slightly schizo temperature control, and baking anything was a dice roll. 3 trips by the repair guy didn't really help anything.

Being a former engineer and able to do thermal mass transfer equations... I found a large scrap of marble that had been used in the school renovations. I directed the cutting of it, and it helped the oven a LOT.

I was the oldest guy in culinary school and my nickname was McGyver. ;)

McGyver seems an apt nickname.
