TEMPERATURES FOR BAKING

Slow Oven Moderate Oven Hot
250° F. to 350° F. 350° F. to 400° F. 400° F. to 450° F.

For the use of those who have no oven thermometer there are
several practical tests. Set a pan sprinkled with flour in the oven and
if it becomes a delicate brown in five minutes the oven is slow (250°
F. to 350° F.). If the flour turns to a medium golden brown in five
minutes, the oven is moderate (350° F. to 400° F.). If the flour turns
a deep, dark brown in five minutes, the oven is hot (400° F. to 450° F.).
