Wait, 50 degrees hot?? That's wild, no wonder your bread was coming out like a brick, that's not even close to a small swing, that's a whole different oven at that point. I'm sitting here wondering if mine is doing the same thing and I've just been blaming myself and my flour for years like an idiot. The fact that a $40 little dial knew the truth the whole time and your oven was just quietly lying to your face is kind of blowing my mind. Now I don't trust anything in my kitchen, the thermometer on my fridge, the dial on my toaster, all of it is suspect.

The "I don't know what you do all week" moment is brutal but it's the wake up call most of us need. What worked for me was asking my manager straight up what one thing would make their life easier, then dropping the busy work nobody noticed.
