Oven elements will cycle on and off throughout the bake cycle to maintain the set temperature. When the oven temperature has dropped below the set temperature, the oven cycles on again to provide heat. The oven will cycle off again once the temperature is higher than the set temperature. The goal is to maintain an average set temperature but you will see a normal rise and fall in temperatures throughout the cycle. This is the normal design of ovens and is factored into how recipes are created and used.

The amount the oven will cycle higher or lower than the set temperature will vary and each individual unit can be different. Temperatures can vary by + 30 degrees to – 30 degrees in most cases for a total swing of 60 degrees.

The temperature variance can also vary by how and where you are measuring the temperature in the oven, the room temperature or number of oven door openings.If you are following your recipe times and temperatures carefully and still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the temperature yourself to meet your specific cooking preference.

You can easily test to see if your oven is cooking properly using the "biscuit test".
