Since so many people here are highly skilled at keeping a stable temp in outdoor cooker, seeking advice for indoor..
My parents have a lot of trouble maintaining temps in their GE electric wall oven (between 5-10y old). This gets extra frustrating for a long cook like turkey.. If you set oven for 325, it gets all the way below 250 before heat cycles on to bring temp back up.
They try to correct for this by turning oven off as temp gets low, then back on to put in preheat mode where it comes back more quickly to set temp.. But that doesn't work super well, and an electric indoor oven really should be set-and-forget!
Any advice on either how to pick a better oven or get better results from this one?
Looking at online reviews, they all seem to evaluate ovens' fun features but I haven't found a site which evaluates ability to just hold a temp.. Some say all ovens stay +/- 30deg from set temp but that is definitely not the case here.
Any thoughts very much appreciated and hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
(Obviously my preference would be a pellet smoker but that is not an option for their apartment..)
