Took me 3 batches to figure out my oven runs 25 degrees cold, and I only found out because of a $6 thermometer
So I kept pulling out cakes that looked done on top but were straight up goo in the middle, and I blamed my recipe, then my pan, then myself. After the third sinkhole cake in a row last month I finally bought a cheap oven thermometer and stuck it in there, and the thing read 325 when I had it set to 350 the whole time. Turns out my oven has been lying to me for who knows how long, so now I just bump the dial up 25 degrees and everything comes out level. Has anyone else had an oven drift like this, and did a repair person actually fix it or did you just learn to live with the offset?
