"DO IT YOURSELF" TEMPERATURE A DJUSTMENT
You may
feel
that your
new
oven
cooks
differently
than
the oven it replaced.
We
recommend
that you use your new oven a few
weeks
to become
more
familiar
with it,
following
the times given in your recipes as a
guide.
ff you think your new oven is too hot (burning
foods)
or
not
hot
enough
(foods
are
undercooked)
you can adjust the temperature
yourself.
Theappearanceandtextureoffoods
is a better indicator
of oven accuracy
than an
inexpensive
thermometer,
such as those found
in grocery
stores,
to check
the temperature
settingofyournewoven.
Thesethermometers
can vary by 20-40 degrees.
In addition,
the
oven door
must be opened
to read
these
thermometers.
Opening
the door will chat?ge
the temperature
of the oven.
To decide
how
much
to
change
the
temperature,
set the oven
temperature
25
degrees higher (if foods are undercooked)
or
25 degrees
lower (if foods are burning)
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.
