My oven
I’ve written before about my erratic oven. It seems to cook unevenly, and sometimes items are burnt on the bottom and raw inside. I rotate my pans, adjust the temperature, and cover things to avoid them getting too brown before they are done, but sometimes I still get burned bottoms on cookies and cakes.
Recently, I discovered a solution to this issue. The heating element in my oven is on the bottom. Even once the oven is pre-heated, the coil intermittently ignites to retain the temperature. I have started placing a metal baking sheet on the bottom rack of the oven, and putting the food I am cooking on the racks above. This seems to act as a barrier, absorbing the intense heat before it hits the bottom of the pans holding the food. So far, it has prevented my cookies and cakes from scorching.
If your baked goods are suffering the same fate, give it a try. It has made a big difference!
