Yes, Karen always does that. Actually I think she lets it sit for about 20 minutes before she uses it to make sure that it is the right temp. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Betsy Whitney, Dolphin Press" <braill...@hawaii.rr.com> To: <blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Thursday, June 10, 2010 5:32 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] calibrating oven
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. Betsy At 10:51 AM 6/10/2010, you wrote: >Karen knows that our oven is off by at least 25 degrees.
