I have a gas oven and I have to use an oven thermometer. Also is she always checking the process. Leave the oven door shut. I don't bake anything when DH is home. And when they say "preheat" they mean "preheat". When I use the oven thermometer, I turn the oven up to the recipe temp and check after 10 minutes but quickly. if you have a glass door make sure you can see the thermometer without opening. That way you can adjust with out opening the door. I get after DH all the time when he puts something in the oven. He constantly checks and therefore the oven temp is never correct and it takes forever to cook.
