Hey listen, In my previous house, the oven worked perfectly, and brownies baked really well at 160 degrees. However, in the new house, they overbake even at 150 degrees. Could electricity power be the reason, or is there another possible cause?
Great video. I bake cookies ALOT especially during the holidays and I experience exactly what you state about prior to preheating and not waiting 10-15 minutes and then bake. I will definitely will preheat, wait 10-15 minutes and bake. THANK YOU! great tip!
I figured out the preheat tip by putting an oven thermometer in the middle of the empty main oven rack. With my old oven, it takes about 10 minutes after the "preheated alarm" goes off to get to the proper temperature.
You didn't mention it in your video, but I presume oven cleanliness is a factor. I'm guessing the porcelain would have to be significantly dirty to have a noticeable effect. However, I suppose "it depends". Perhaps there are so many variables (temp, time, ingredients, etc.), that it would be a waste to state the obvious. Just clean your oven. Remove the potential effect.
I bought a new stove in Jan. It is elelctric and I am now finding I am unable to bake cookies as I have done for 50 years. My recipe takes 8-9 minutes per batch but my new oven has a temperature fluctuation of 50 degrees. It will reach 350 degrees and then it will drop to 300 degrees over the next 10 minutes and then quickly reheat to 350 degrees. The drop starts even if you do not open the oven door. So unless you are micromanaging your oven and have a digital probe inside you have absolutely no idea where your temp is when you put in a tray of cookies. SUGGESTIONS??
Have you had issues with your oven not cooking things properly? Let us know in a comment below what you did to fix it!

So glad to hear! Happy baking!
After several batches of cookies. I have let the oven cool off or they burn. Bad thermostat?

We didn't think about that, that's something to consider for sure! But yes, it's good to just always keep your oven clean anyways!
Ok, dummy me, I won't blow off pre heating anymore ... gees!😮
Me neither lol
