Aloha Lenny,
Just a note about this. I complained that my oven was off. When the
guy came out, he said that after the oven light went out and the
preheated beeps sounded, I needed to wait until I heard the oven
performed two more cycles before it was actually at the right
temperature. He said that the preheat light goes out when the oven
hits the temperature that is set, but that the entire oven is not at
a steady temperature. Since I've been doing that, everything seems to
cook properly. We have one of those little round oven thermometers
that hangs on the rack. It is not accessible, but it was $4 and we
rarely have to use it.
