Myths About Appliances:Ranges

Myth - An oven thermostat varies the amount of current the oven heaters use.
Truth - A thermostat simply turns the elements on and off (at full power) to get an average temperature. For example, it may heat until it senses a temperature of 370°F and then stop until it lowers to 330°F. The average cooking temperature however will be somewhere in the middle around 350°. For most modern electric surface elements, they also always gets full voltage. The controlling switch simply cycles the power on and off quickly to vary the amount of heat generated.
