Yes, it was. I think my oven is not as hot as it's set to be. I need
to get an oven thermometer. Have bought many, but they seem to
disappear as fast as wire hangers seem to breed on the closet.

Need a fridge thermo, too, come to think of it.

Thanks.

I always keep a stock of oven thermometers from the $.99 store so I really
know what the oven temp is. They're every bit as good as the $6.00
thermometers you buy at the supermarket. In one of our ovens we have a
fairly heavy 16" pizza stone on the bottom rack at all times. It does take
at least 30+ minutes to warm the oven middle rack to where it you want it. I
think this is true no what the oven temp says. The pizza stone, as Tom
says, acts as a heat sink, so it helps keep the temp. more uniform when you
open and close the door.
