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. 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.
