Adjust the lower and upper oventhermostats--Do it yourself.IYou may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few weeks to becomemore familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat yourselfDo not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven.These thermometers may vary 20-40 degrees.NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling or the self-cleaning temperatures.

If youdecrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher-fat product.Recipefailure can result if cakes, pies,pastries, cookies or candies are made with low-fat spreads.The lower the fatcontent of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.Federal standards require products labeled "margarine" to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low-fat spreads,on theother hand, contain less fat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and flavorof baked goods. For best results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least70% vegetable oil.26
