Dude. The oven works like PCR.
Okay, not really, but when you put the words "temperature" and "cycling" close to each other, you have to think of PCR.
Oh God, the food is absorbing the heat. Duh.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
(A) P-C is being just precious.
(B) This all makes me love our gas oven even more.

Okay, but now, really, explain to me what the hell the difference is between BAKE, TIME BAKE, and BROIL on the dial, especially when BROIL is also on the temperature dial.

Bake is what it says. Broil is where the top coils are left on all the time. You can still set the temp for lower than the broil temp, but the upper coil stays on. It's usually used when you want to brown the surface of something very quickly, but leave the inside closer to rare. Certain steaks are cooked under the broiler. Time bake is where you can set the oven to turn on at a preset time, cook for a set length of time and then turn off.

Happily, those are freaky electric oven settings of which I am blissfully ignorant; though, my guess is BAKE is the regular oven and, if you have a separate broiler, BROIL is what tells the oven to heat the broiler up rather than the main oven. TIME BAKE, though--not a clue in the world.
My sinuses are killing me today. Hec wants us all to go outside for batting practice. In, like, a stadium, on a field of grass surrounded by trees, with flowers along the fenceline. He's trying to kill me.

Okay...but I sure don't see any other dials that would allow me to do that. Stupid ancient oven. Thanks for the info, though.
And if anyone is going to kill JZ, it's going to be me. With my preciousness.

The Time Bake works in conjunction with the timer. Depending on how old your oven is, you may have touch pad controls or the timer has two needles you can set. One for the start time and the other needle would be for how long you want to cook.

No, that's what I'm saying. There is no timer. Just those two dials.
