Thanks for your tip, Andy! It is definitely a weird situation, but I have some new pans that I am going to try to see if that makes a difference. I am definitely getting a pizza stone; just need to find one that isn't too small for my oven and that is thick enough for my needs. Thanks! :)

Hey everyone, I came to give an update on the situation in case it would help others or if anyone would have any ideas. So I used an oven thermometer to monitor my temperatures, and replaced my igniter and temperature sensor and tested away. Other than that my oven preheats now at a noticeable...

That's great to know! I wondered how it would do on the floor of the oven. I have three racks, but I only need two so I may just leave it on the bottom rack like you did. I will be ordering the pizza stone very very soon. I can't wait to use it! Thanks for your help. I'll come back next week and...

Just got the igniter a few days ago. I will try it out soon, and let you know how it went. I've been to busy to order a pizza stone, but that is at the top of my to-do list. Can't wait to get it and try it out! Thanks for your help! Sometime next week, I'll let you know how everything works out. :)

Thanks for your input Dr. Morbius! That's what I would have thought to, but apparently people say the opposite is actually true-that it helps even out hot spots. Doesn't make sense to my head, but I can't deny that it seems to have worked for a lot of people. :)

Thanks everyone for your help. I really appreciate it! What do you guys think if I put a pizza stone on the bottom of my oven floor to help regulate the heat? I was going to get some unglazed tiles from Lowes as I heard it was a cheap way of a DIY pizza stone, but then came across several...

Thanks I have ordered a thermostat and igniter so I'll try it out!

Thank you! Does a little bit Ginger and Mary Ann refer to Gilligan's island?

I do try to let it run for another 15 min after it has reached the preheated temperature, but maybe doing it longer would help.

Good to know! I have a gas oven, but maybe it has a similar problem with the igniter. Thanks!

I have let it get 10 degrees hotter, but it drops far more than 10 degrees so it doesn't quite even out. Maybe I'll try preheating at a much higher temperature. Thanks for the warm welcome! This is a very kind and friendly group on here, not like other forums, thankfully! :)

My baked goods were getting mixed results. Putting the same thing in for the same time would come out burnt or very under baked. Btw, your name and location is cute! Watched that show today. :)

Hello, I've tested my oven and know that it runs 10 degrees too hot. My problem is that once I put something in there, the temperature can drop dramatically, depending on how much I put in; however, it doesn't come back to the set temperature in a few minutes. It drops and very slowly climbs...
