Nuance of 'Mettre ... au four' ('To Put ... In The Oven')

The phrase mettre ... au four literally means "to put ... in the oven". However, in this meme context, it is used ironically. While a normal instruction would be "Bake for 10 minutes," the absurdity comes from the extreme heat implied by "120 degrees" (which is likely meant to be Fahrenheit or Celsius but is treated as comically low for an actual baking setting, or perhaps the joke is that she set it too high/low depending on interpretation). The humor relies on the contrast between a mundane cooking instruction and the visual of something burning or melting drastically.

Grammar Note: 'Au' vs 'À Le'

In French, when the preposition à (to/at) combines with the definite article le (the), they contract to form au. This is a mandatory contraction rule in standard French. So, you cannot say 'à le four', it must always be au four (in the oven).
