Cooking Times in Recipes
Am I the only one who finds that almost nothing cooks within the times specified in recipes? I make sure to let certain ingredients reach room temperature, and I have reliable temperature sensors to confirm my oven’s accuracy.
Is anyone else having this issue?
You’re definitely not alone in this experience! Many people find that cooking times in recipes can vary significantly from what’s listed. There are several factors that can contribute to this, including oven calibration, the size of your ingredients, and even altitude.
For example, if you’re using different sizes or types of pans, or if your oven runs hotter or cooler than it’s set, that can really affect cooking times. Additionally, things like the freshness of ingredients or even humidity in the air can play a role.
It’s always a good idea to use cooking times as a guideline rather than an absolute rule. Checking for doneness visually or with a thermometer can help ensure your dishes turn out just right. Do you have any specific recipes where you’ve noticed a big difference in cooking times?
