Why does a recipe produce different results cooked at the same temperature but in a different oven?
Cookers are individual and with experience you’ll get to know your own model. There are dozens of variables between any two ovens: size, fuel, positioning of the heating elements and the presence of a fan will affect the temperature and your cooking results. Thermostats also have a degree of tolerance of up-to 15C either side of a set temperature and cycle on and off during cooking which is why you’ll often see the neon indicator light go on and off. Rotating knobs can sometimes be slightly inaccurate as well, a mere nudge can make a 5C difference.
