We took a delay on my last long haul flight because our over failed (I always check before flight). Maintenance showed up and they first thing they did was to take out the tray lined with aluminum foil. Per maintenance, the foil restricts airflow and the oven throws a code and shuts down. The had to replace the over anyways (took three folks to change them).

This was the THIRD airplane in less than 3 months where the over was broken. At least on the last flight we caught it before flight. A 13-14 hour flight with no ability to heat up your food really sucks.
