Just curious... when you turn our Maytag electric oven on it defaults
to 350F and my usual cooking range is 300 (for spareribs/slow
braises), 350 (cookies, cake), 400 (roast chicken) and 450 (pizza).
But last night I turned the thermostat down as far as it could go to
warm the oven for my yoghurt-making, and it goes all the way down to
170F! And being a self-cleaning oven, at the other end of the spectrum
it goes all the way up to a blazing 550F! I'm impressed... So what
can your oven do?

Stay around 80 to 85 degrees for proofing dough simply by leaving the light
on.
:-)

Well most ovens will do the same.

About the same. A two-year-old GE smooth top range. I'll bet it's
hotter than 550 when it's in the cleaning cycle.

That's pretty much the standard range on modern electronically
controlled ovens. Mine comes on at 170F. The self-cleaning cycle
certainly goes higher than 550F, but you don't get to cook
at those temps.

Same here, 170-550. 170 = holding food for late guests and drying
desiccant packs, 550 = pizza.

Ours is the same, as far as the temperature range. It's a Hotpoint gas,
though. I sometimes use the 170F for warming plates.

Interesting. It looks like the temperature range is standard... I
didn't know that but it makes sense.

Probably like 900ºF... that's why you should remove the wire racks or
they'll be ruined.

Default 350F, lowest 170, highest 550. I think that's pretty normal for
an electric self-cleaning oven. I've never cooked at more than the 500
that I use for salt-roasted salmon.

100 degrees F. to 550 degrees F.
I bought that killer gas range that Consumer Reports rated as their top
choice last year. I love, love, LOVE it.

50°C to 280°C (122°F to 536°F). Not self-cleaning (for self cleaning
cycle you need approx 500°C, i.e. 932°F). Your 550°F is perfect for
pizza :-)

Honestly the bottom end of my dial reads 150. There's quite a bit of space
between 150 and off however. I've tested it down to 130 sustained. I don't
know what good that would be other than food poisoning, but it'll go there.

Mine only goes up to 500.

Yours, being self cleaning, would most likely lock the door and get up to a
blistering 900 or so in that mode.

Older electric ovens went down to 140 IIRC. I know the one I have here is
30 years old and it goes down to 150. I'll post pictures to prove it.

Some food safety ass decided that we didn't need to hold our food at a safe
temperature of 145, so they upped the standard to 170.
I dread the day I ever have to use one of those.

i don't know how I could hold a temperature of less than 170F since that
is the lowest value my digital control will display.

Me GE built in will not set below 170F for baking, but does have a
warm/proof setting (not just the light bulb!). I do not know how warm on
the warm setting as I have only used it once. The difference between warm
and proof is the proof gets the convection fan also. The high setting limit
is 550F. The thing that is weird about the new ovens is how long they take
to preheat. I have learned to start the oven preheating with plenty of time
(15 Minutes).

I leave mine in and they are not ruined. The only thing that happens is
that they don't slide readily on the guides and that is easily remedied
with a light schmear of oil on the bottom of the rack.

It doesn't cause a smoking problem when you crank the oven up...?

I set off the smoke detector today when I had the roast in at 500

My oven has knobs too. Ovens are supposed to be simple and I want to
keep mine as simple as possible (as long as it's self-cleaning, of
course).

My electric range has a digital temperature setting which ranges from 150-
575°F. I would have been just as happy with a knob, but that's what came
with our appliance package.

Mine doesn't have a self-cleaning function - those are exorbitantly
expensive here, and not that common I don't think.

The oven dial goes from 50C (122F) to 270C (518F)

I think my Bosch will go from 100 to somewhere above 500. I haven't
really investigated anything above 500, and their web site is so
annoying
I haven't the patience to go look. It's got a lot of fancy stuff I'll
never use,
like "proofing", "Sabbath mode", and some others. I use the warming
drawer to store the broiler pan; if I want things warmed I usually set
the oven on 140 or so. I don't use the oven terribly often, but I
like
the jet-engine cooktop burners.

I forgot to mention that when I turn my oven on it says 000 and
stays there until I turn the temperature adjust knob, then it
goes to 170 as the first step. If you don't turn the knob and
set a temperature it doesn't heat up. This seems like a much
better idea than defaulting to 350 or something. The button could
get pressed accidentally, but as long as no one sets the temperature
it doesn't heat up or consume a bunch of electricity.

Note that I didn't choose this oven, it was in the house when I
bought the place, so any features it has are not something I looked
for. And, it hasn't had the good grace to fail so I can
buy something new and sexy.

You just can't win! Some cars have knobs but the increments produced by
turning are digital.

We have satellite radio today, you can tun in a station thousands of

And why can't you still do that? The way AM works, the signal travels a
long way at night. Unless those stations are gone (which is possible),
you should still be able to do that.

are short.
