Wonderings from the Wack

Okay so that maybe isn't too exciting for most people. However I have to mention the horror of the oven in my previous house and you will understand. I could not bake muffins or cookies or anything. I think the temperature gauge was off or something. Cookies could not be baked for 10 minutes at 350 on the middle rack. No, the cookies needed 325 on the next rack up for about 7 minutes. The entire 7 minutes I would have to stare through the widow of the oven and look for the faintest hint of golden to appear and then whip them out at lightning speed and hope they weren't TOO burnt on the bottom. Parchment paper helped, but only slightly.

My current oven is one of those Whirlpool ones with the flat cook-top. I made gingersnaps yesterday. So I used-2 cookie sheets covered with parchment paper, 12 balls of dough on each sheet, oven at 350, rack in the middle, timer on for 10 minutes. I went out into the living room to read and wait. After 10 mintues I took them out of the oven and they are absolutely perfect.



No fiddling with timing or temperature or anything! I can bake and follow the instructions and things will work! There is a God, and his name is Whirlpool!
