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 :)
I also know that sometimes different cooking temperatures are written if the oven is a fan-driven oven or a conventional oven. Which makes the science a bit trickier. And is part of the reason why I asked, but I’ve gotten a lot of insightful answers.
I guess there’s nothing to it but to try. If it fails, I have more data to work with :)
That’s because convection is a faster bake.
