• Temperatures often vary between a new
oven and an old one. As ovens age, the
oven temperature often “drifts” and may
become hotter or cooler. See pg. 15 for
instructions on adjusting the oven tem-
perature.

It is not recommended
to adjust the temperature if only one or
two recipes are in question.

by 25
