Ex: Cooking 2 pizzas (same temp/time needed) in the oven at the same time. Can I just set the same temperature and time as cooking one, and they’ll both come out perfect still? Why or why not? (Let’s ignore differences in cooking based on which rack the pizza is on lol)
I don’t cook much lol, so I’m trying to wrap my head around how cooking “consumes(?)” heat energy. More food mass isn’t going to *reduce* the temperature in the oven or anything… is it? And, the food masses aren’t connected, so not sharing heat distribution(?), so that seems like they shouldn’t affect each other?
In: Physics
It depends.
If we assume you’re cooking with wood, and one piece of wood burning cooks one pizza in 10 minutes…
If you add another pizza but the same 1 piece of wood, it’ll take longer.
But
If your electric or gas stove automatically adds another piece of wood (aka more energy to the element or higher gas flow), then the time will be the same, but the energy cost will be higher.
