Title: Checking for hot spots in your oven
Post by: Bedlam on October 29, 2014, 11:58:32 pm

I have been reading Yoke's sourdough bread book and thought this was worth sharing.
She says check your oven for hot spots by placing a piece of baking paper to cover a rack in the middle of your oven then turn your oven on to 200C for about 10 minutes.  You will see on the browned paper a pattern of your ovens hot spots.
Knowing this you can rotate as required.

The temperature variation in my oven is terrible.

Another way I have read for checking is to put some nice, cheap, fluffy white supermarket bread on a baking tray (3 rows of 3) and do the same, into the oven and see what happens.

I have to rotate whatever I am baking every 10 minutes!
