The holidays mean that family gatherings and baking goods will abound. The amount of food and treats that people make during this time of year are increased because it is a way to show we love those around us. One way to show those friends and family around us that we care is to drop a treat by. The other reason that baking in on the increase in the winter is the cooler temperatures. The temperatures are cool enough that people spend more time indoors. It makes it easier to crank up the oven which only helps to warm up the home. The baking also is a pass time that many people enjoy during a cool day. Now that the season is here do you have an oven that is ready for the increase in usage? The oven is a huge part of the baking that is done and there are some things you can do to ensure that it is in top working condition.

Check Oven Temperature: When you get out your recipe book and you start a new treat the first thing that most of them have you do is preheat the oven. The oven is something that needs to be heated up and used to bake whatever you are making whether it is a savory dinner or a sweet dessert. Anyone that knows about baking is if you make one small error in the measurements the outcome can be a disaster. The same goes for the oven and the temperature that your oven heats to. Most ovens have a dial or a digital display that you set to a particular temperature. Most ovens need about 15 minutes to get to the required temperature. The problem is that some ovens will not reach the required temperature but unless you have it checked you may not know. The first step is to use a thermometer to check the oven to see if it is getting to the temperature that you need. If you see any discrepancy you can have your oven looked at and repaired by a professional.
Clean Oven Properly: The other aspect of your oven is that it needs to be cleaned properly to ensure that it is working correctly. The best thing you can do is to clean the oven with a cleaner that is made for an oven. It is also important to clean the oven when you can open the house and allow air to flow in. You also want to have some time to allow the cleaning to be done before you schedule any other baking for the season. If you notice that there is any damage to the oven while you are cleaning it it is best to call out a professional to have the repairs made right away.
