Adjusting Oven Thermostat
When cooking a food for the first
time in your oven, use time given
on recipes as a guide. Oven
thermostats, over a period of years,
may "drift" from the factory
setting and differences in timing
between an old and a new oven of
5 to 10 minutes are not unusual
and you may be inclined to think
that the new oven is not performing
correctly. However, your new oven
has been set correctly at the factory
and is more apt to be accurate than
the oven it replaced.
If you think the oven should be
hotter or cooler, you can adjust it
yourself. To decide how much to
change the temperature, set the
oven temperature 25°F. higher or
lower than the temperature in your
recipe, then bake. The results of
this "test" should give you an idea
of how much the temperature
should be changed.
