How did the oven preform? Did you crank temp up?
[Reply]

Okay. I'll do my best. Btw. I offered to help in November if need help.

Hopefully it won't be too long into November before we are done. P

The brioche was cooked at 350, where I temped out at 357, so no change. Worked well. The buns are too small and overcooked a little. I misremembered the guidelines when I started them and only made 2-ounce rolls. They need to be closer to 3.5.

The artisan boule is supposed to be at 450. I bumped to 465, and that worked a lot better. I'm surprised 15 degrees made as much difference as it did.

Yucatan pork tacos. The salsa is a reduction of the liquor the pork was cooked in, which is mostly achiote paste and citrus with some added heat.

I wonder if the control rheostat could be bad?

Now that you know to crank it at 450 does it matter?

I would check temps without the plate just because you're doing it and I am not:-):-):-):-) I do wonder if it gets hotter without it.

If it were me, but it's not, I'd make a mental note the oven is too cool at 400 up and crank it and be done with it.

I know that no gas oven is going to be dead on but knowing where to crank it and let it ride would be nice to know. I have read that cooking above recommended temps is better than low temps. You just have to watch it and not wait for a buzzer.

Dinny has a bet that you buy the rheostat, I say you don't. But he may be right..It may be a calibration issue.

Have you called the manufacturer yet???
[Reply]

Nah, the entire purpose of testing was to simply know when and where to crank it. If it was consistently low, I can modify the calibration in the settings. But since 350 is on, I'll leave as is and adjust up 15 degrees on the top end.

Not bothering with the manufacturer. At 450, a 12-degree difference is like 3%. I'm sure that's within spec.

If I have the oven on this weekend without the steel, I'll check it for the he'll of it. But knowing that it's off and adjusting for it solved most of my issue.

Does it preheat slow? It might be plugged burners or something. When you open the door to put the food in it lets the heat out and takes a long time to get back to temp. That might lead to the long cook times.

EDIT: it's a good opportunity for you to go electric since you stacked the shit on me because the wife wanted a glass top. :-)
