Default Oven temps

Just want to mention to anyone that might have a problem of the same type,
there is advice out there to check your oven temp with some kind of
thermometer, I suggest it wholeheartedly. I recently found my cup
measurements were way off, so I decided to look into other things. I don't
have an oven thermometer, and didn't think I needed one, I just recently had
the serviceman check it under warranty and I was told the temp is right on.
I always have had problems with recipes where my bread burns at prescribed
temps, so my last bake I pulled my wood stove spring temp gauge and put it
in my oven. Not the most accurate thing, but I found the oven temp 35
degrees higher than Jenn- air's digital display. I had been baking closer
to 500 than 460! I lowered my oven temp 35 degrees lower, and had no burning
problem, and even baked as long as the recipe noted.

My quarry tiles are above my electric heating element, and they were not in
place when the serviceman did his check (I put the (magnetic) gauge about 6
inches above the tiles on the back oven wall. How might this affect my
findings? I am already thinking about doing checks without them (tiles) in
place, but I figured I would ask anyway.
