Ways to Know How Your Oven is Baking
Your guests are waiting and the delicious chicken is on its way. You open the oven’s door and proudly serve the delicious meal. Then, one of your friends finds out that there are little spots that are not completely cooked. Well, this means that your oven is not cooking evenly or that you have hotspots.
Fortunately, resolving this problem is often simple. You don’t have to go and purchase a new one. Before jumping into the market for a replacement oven, try to determine if it is truly not cooking evenly or is experiencing some cooking hotspots. Here is how to tell if your oven is cooking evenly.
Do the Bread Test
This test is irrefutable when it comes to detecting any hotspots. All you need to do is to spread out a layer of bread on the middle rack of your oven and turn it on. Bake for two to three minutes, then remove the bread to see where it is browned and to narrow in on where the heating inconsistency may be.
Bake Something
Baking a cake is the simplest way to know how your oven is cooking. If your cake browns but does not cook through, you could have a temperature sensor problem. If the browning is not homogenous, you may have hotspots.
Inspect the Oven’s Calibration
An improperly calibrated oven temperature usually results in uneven cooking. You have set your oven to 350°F, but how hot is it? You can check and calibrate the temperature of your oven quite quickly, which may resolve your problem.
Change Your Cookware
Sometimes, it is a matter of changing the cookware. Consider investing in some high-quality pans, pots, and bakeware. This can make a big difference in your cooking outcome.
