Does the oven heat up quickly and cook evenly? I like baking cookies and it requires even baking so the cookies on the sides of the baking sheet don’t get too brown while the ones in the middle aren’t fully cooked. null

Hi IDAMACS - Thanks for considering GE Model JGBS66REKSS! Gas ovens can take 15-20 minutes to preheat. Many newer ranges have a Preheat that will signal when the oven has reached a temperature hot enough to add food, rather than when the set temperature is reached. Typically the range will signal after about 7-12 minutes, depending of the temperature you set. We test our ranges with prepackaged foods, frozen pizzas, baked goods, etc. We put the items in at the beep, and get good results. This can help save time in the kitchen, since you are not waiting longer for the preheat than necessary, in most cases.Recipes can differ, as can a food's preheat requirements. Most foods we tested don't require additional oven heating, though there are always exceptions. If you're finding a recipe isn't cooking properly, then you may want to turn on the oven a little bit before you start your food preparation to give it a little more time. You can also remove unused racks when using the oven for faster preheat, improved efficiency, and optimal performance. Also, you should expect even heating from your range when baking cookies. Check out the "Cooking Guide" on page 16 of the manual: https://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=49-2000316-3.pdf - Also, check out
