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
More mass takes more energy to heat. So yes more pizza means more energy. If your oven burner can output enough head to keep up, the time should be the same. If one pizza requires the oven burner to run constantly to maintain the target oven temp, more pizza will overwhelm the burner and it won’t maintain temperature properly (cook slower).
