Thank you, ...I know .. it's a shame for sure!! Thank you, thank you for the tips though!! I'm going to try both and see what happens!! The big oven works great, but it takes a truckload of electricity and 30 minutes to heat it up. Hoping I can get the small one fixed!!Nancy Kissackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03225296192386107554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818111637898313184.post-4537871116611078352015-11-20T07:06:09.312-08:002015-11-20T07:06:09.312-08:00Seeing how as you keep burning or under cooking my...Seeing how as you keep burning or under cooking my cookies and my cranberry lemon nut bread I thought I would send you over this little trick I hope it works <br /><br />How to Check Oven Temperature<br /><br />After you determine The Perfect Baking Temperature, how do you know if your oven is correct? Here are 2 simple techniques to try.<br />Use an oven-safe thermometer. Place the thermometer on a rack in the center of your oven. Pre-heat your oven to the temperature you’d like to test (350° F, or 177° C) is generally a good recommendation). Once the oven is preheated, check the temperature on the thermometer inside. Repeat this step in ten minutes. If the temperature varies, that’s a sure sign that your oven temperature is off and you should adjust your baking temperatures accordingly.<br /><br />Use the Sugar Method if you don't have an oven-safe thermometer.<br />Preheat your oven to 375° F (186° C). Line a cookie sheet with tin foil and place a small amount (about a teaspoon) of sugar on it.<br />Once the oven is preheated, place the sheet inside it for 15 minutes.<br />If your oven is correctly calibrated, the sugar should be melted and probably caramelizing. If it’s running too cold, the sugar will not be melted. If it’s running too hot, the sugar will melt within a few minutes.<br /><br />Important note: Because even preheated ovens don’t sit on one temperature the entire time they’re on, it’s possible that your oven is correctly calibrated and just has a wider temperature margin it cycles through while staying near the preheated temperature. Some temperature margins are as high as 15° F (8° C).Mister edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00293854096422236002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818111637898313184.post-12357929167854963842015-11-20T07:01:35.109-08:002015-11-20T07:01:35.109-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Mister edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00293854096422236002noreply@blogger.com
