I finally got my oven's temperature dial set right for perfect cookies

My cookies were always burning on one side because the oven ran hot. I used a thermometer to adjust the dial, and now they bake evenly every time. What common fixes have you tried for oven heat issues?

Feel your pain with the oven temps, @zara465.

Wait, you put a whole thermometer in your oven? What kind did you get?

Yeah you just leave it in there, it's made for the heat. Lucasw84 should try it too, it's a total game changer for weird ovens. That little dial tells you the truth when your oven's display is lying.

Tbh my oven runs hot and it ruined a few batches of cookies. So I grabbed a basic analog oven thermometer from the grocery store, the kind you just hang on the rack. It was like five bucks. Honestly it just sits in there all the time now so I always know the real temp. My baking has been way more consistent since I started checking it.
