Yes, I'm still having new oven battles (well, it's old actually, but new to me for using!) and I can't seem to avoid burning everything that I put in there.
It's getting quite ridiculous really - I was baking shortbread at 140 degrees C the other day, watching it like a hawk and still had to whip them out really quick as I saw them starting to melt into each other!
Back to the tarts though.
So there I was, watching the little cheese tarts in the oven, crouching and praying. And yes, I was still too late. The volatile little buggers. One second and BOOM. Cheese overspill.
The good news though is that after they cooled down and I was able to slot them out, they were pretty darn cheese-tastic. A bit like a cheese fondue I guess (but less sickly) - at least the pastry shell was useful to help it stay in your gob instead of running down your chin ;-)
Pie out.

Fancy a laugh at my other Hungry-Jenny-Faux-Pas?

We had some serious oven problems ourselves.
I think the trick is to get another thermometer. Either a digital one with a reader that can sit on the counter, or one that just goes into the oven and sits on a rack.
We have the latter, and it was only a few quid.
Ah, I hadn't considered that before - yes, I'll look into that definitely!
It also seems like the fan inside is too strong or something, but doesn't seem to be something that can be controlled.
Thanks for the tip!
