between the cooking tim es of old ovens and those of
new ovens are not unusual. Since the thermostat on
your new oven has been set correctly at the factory, it
is m ore likeiy to be accurate than the therm ostat on
the oven it replaced.
If you think the oven should be hotter or cooler, you
can adjust it yourself. To decide how much to change

or lower than the tem perature in your recipe, then
bake. The resufts of this ‘1esf should give you an idea
