Many housewives complain about poor, uneven baking of dishes in the oven, often blaming the cooking recipe.
However, most often the cause may be a malfunction of the oven.
This problem can be solved at home, without turning to specialists and without spending a lot of money. Find out why this happens in some oven models.
The main reasons for poor oven heating
If you have a gas oven, this heating problem occurs frequently.
It is in such models that the forced convection mode is not provided, resulting in uneven heat distribution inside due to the poor power of natural convection.
In this case, those areas of the oven that are close to the fire source heat up perfectly, but the remote corners heat up very poorly.
Options for solving the problem
To heat the oven quickly and evenly, place one or two bricks on the bottom shelf, preheating the bricks for 1 hour. This way, the temperature will be distributed throughout the oven, and the baked goods will be baked evenly both on all sides and from the inside.
You can also use river sand or rock salt instead of bricks, which should be poured onto a baking sheet in a 3 cm layer, and then covered with foil so that the auxiliary elements do not get into the dishes.
You can also place small stones all over the baking tray, which will also help the oven heat up evenly.
And finally, it is better to choose the required level of the baking tray with any filling yourself. Most often, it is placed on the lowest shelf of the oven.
