Not going to dispute any answers, they are all right.

Going to add, this happens a little with pizza. Look up 90 second pizza. It’s like 700° pizza cooking. At 500°F I can cook a pizza in 6 minutes. I know people who make pizzas homemade and bake them for 20+ minutes at like 375.

The key though, is pizzas are pretty thin, so temp is pretty constant.
