This may be unrelated to their situation, but some ovens have
WAY more convection and way less humidity than a typical oven.
In such an oven, it can be very difficult to get something to
come out correctly, even if you adjust roasting/baking times. I've
known people with this problem and they ultimately just have to
replace the thing.

It seems more likely to crop up with electric than with gas
ovens.
