How interesting--thanks so much! Hope you keep the tips coming, they're so helpful. Regarding oven temp not being correct when your stove beeps--I actually called Maytag a couple years ago when I got a new stove to tell them I used a thermometer in the oven and the temp I had set wasn't reached when the buzzer went off. I was told when the buzzer goes off, this does NOT mean your oven is at the temp you set! How dumb! I asked why I would care if the oven heat was at 310-degrees if I had it set at 375-degrees, and she had no answer for me. Makes you wonder why manufacturers bother to even put a pre-heat buzzer on a stove. Waiting 10 more minutes is the way to go. So, so true, Carol. That's interesting, they actually tell you the oven's not up to temp. when it beeps. Begs the question - "Well, then, what the heck is it beeping for?!" I have to wait at least 15 minutes after the beep for my oven to be fully heated. A word to the wise - get an oven thermometer and use it! At least until you understand your own oven's foibles. PJH
