I've been eating a lot of takeout and pizza lately, steadily adding to a nice chubby spare tire, so I decided to bravely try out my new stove (and by new I mean tiny, itsy bitsy old stove in a new apartment) and cook braised short ribs last night. In this battle of stove vs Molly, stove won. That little thing is a lot more powerful than I expected. Point of the story.. I opened the oven to burned rips sitting in a pathetic dried-up mess of a sauce.
So, instead of looking like this...
They came out more like this...
Oops..!!
OK, in addition to being tiny, I think your thermometer is broken. Buy an oven thermometer at the supermarket for $4.99 and hang it in your oven, and pre-heat it to 350. After about 20 minutes open the oven and look and see what it says.....
