How do you bake 2 items when one calls for different temp?

Answer 1

One method is to use the lower temp as the set point and add additional time for the item that needs the higher temp.

Another method is to average the two temps and and watch both items closely.

Anytime you add another item to the oven, it is going to slow down the cooking process for the other, that is unless you are using a convection oven.

Answer 2

Set the temperature somewhere approximately halfway between the two, and bake the dish that calls for the lower temperature on the rack furthest from the heat source for a few minutes less than what the recipe calls for. Cook the dish that calls for the higher temperature closer to the heat for slightly longer than what the recipe calls for.

Answer 3

When faced with this dilemma, you can do two things. One is to have one of the higher timed dishes bake first, then when it is done, you switch with the other one. The second is to meet a common temperature that both dishes can agree on, and then adjust the timing accordingly for the dishes (if the temp for one needs to be higher, then extend the time longer). Do the second method at your own risk, because it may result in undercooked food.

Answer 4

Not really because the oven can only be at one temperature at a time.

Answer 5

You cannot do that. You need to bake one item at a lower temperature, remove it, heat the oven to the higher temperature, then bake the second item. Or use two ovens.
