I have an oven that’s rated to reach 200 degrees C (around 400-ish in F) (I can’t put in higher temperatures on the device), but some recipes tell you to bake at higher temps than that. Does that mean that I can’t bake that item in my oven, or can I just adjust for time?
Let’s say the recipe says to bake at 225 degrees C for 25 minutes, I then bake it for 35 minutes at 200?
*edit* Thank you all for the answers, I’m going to try your suggestions and see if the recipe will allow for such an adjustment, and if not, I’ll see if I can replace my crappy oven with a better one :)
Could you add a small wireless fan to circulate air and make better use of the heat you have? Sort of a DIY convection?
ETA- i love a good science fair project! Make some cookies or biscuits or something, like two at a time over and over, trying different methods! Report back!
Speaking of cooking stuff that has fans…
I learned a while ago that when using an air fryer, you can’t put a liner in before you preheat.
It beeped and I went into the kitchen and due to the fan and the liner, it was shooting flames like 2 feet.
So I would be very hesitant to start hooking fans up to random heating sources.
Don’t breathe the air if you do this
That’s a fun idea :)
