weeks to become more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the
thermostat yourself.
Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your
oven. These thermometers may vary20-40 degrees.

Thetype ofmargarine will affect bakingperformance!
Most recipes for baking have been developed using high fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you
decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher fat product.
Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low fat spreads. The lower the fat
content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.
Federal standards require products labeled "margarine" to contain at least 80% tilt by weight, ix)w tilt spreads, on tile
other hand, contain less tilt and more water; Tile high moisture content ot these spreads affects tile texture and flavor
of baked goods. For best results with your old til\.'oi_te redpes, rise margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least
70% vegetable oil.
