How do I know if my oven is 350 degrees?
To test the oven: Hang an oven thermometer in the center of the middle rack and preheat the oven to 350˚F (176.67˚C). Allow the oven to preheat for at least 20 minutes and take a temperature reading. This will tell you if the oven is even reaching the desired temperature from the beginning.
Why do most recipes Bake at 350 degrees?

An oven thermostat is a switch that opens and closes in response to the temperature it senses. It is typically found in the control panel, where a liquid-filled temperature-sensing bulb senses and maintains the internal oven temperature by cycling heat on and off.
How accurate are oven thermometers?
An oven thermometer is useless unless it’s accurate. Luckily, KT Thermo’s designs have been thoroughly vetted for precision and is capable of reading temperatures ranging from 100 to 600 degrees Fahrenheit. That means it’s safe to use even cooking at the highest temperatures, like when baking your own pizza.
How do I know if my oven thermostat is bad?
Place the multimeter on the thermostat. If the thermostat has a reading of zero or as close to zero as possible, it is working fine. However, if it has no reading at all, your oven thermostat is faulty and will need replacing.
Is it better to bake cookies at 350 or 375?
350° is the standard temp for a cookie, and it’s a great one. Baking at 325° also results in an evenly baked cookie, but the slower cooking will help yield a chewier cookie. The outsides will be a little softer, too. If you love slightly underdone cookies, 375° is for you.
