Minor Adjustments You Can Make
Adjusting Oven Thermostat
When cooking a food for the first time in your new oven, use time given on recipes as a guide. Oven thermostats, over a period of years, may "drift" from their factory settings° Differences of 5 to 10 minutes
between the cooking times of old ovens and those of new ovens are not unusual. Since the thermostat on
your new oven has been set correctly at the factory, it is more likely to be accurate than the thermostat on 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 thermostat, set the oven temperature 25°E 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 change&
