2 Experiment: Hot Spots in a Conventional Oven

It’s hard to imagine an oven that heats evenly throughout. The next best thing to having the perfect oven is knowing where the hot spots are in your oven. The fastest and easiest way to “map an oven” is to use an infrared thermometer. Aim the thermometer at various surfaces throughout the preheated oven, and you will learn very quickly where uneven baking might occur.

Another way to find the hot spots is to bake actual product in different locations in the oven and observe where differences occur.
