Adjusting the Oven Thermostat

Oven thermostats, over a period of years, may “drift” from the factory setting, und differences in timing between an old and a new oven of 5 to I O minutes are not unusual. Your new oven has been set correctly at the factory and is more likely to be accurate than the oven it replaced. We do not recommend the use of inexpensive thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your new oven. These thermometers can vary by 2040 degrees.
If you think the oven should be hotter or cooler, you can adjust it yourself. To decide how much to chtinge the thermostat, set the oven temper~ture 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 thermostat should be changed.
