“what is accuracy of the oven temp? In other words, when temperature is set to 350F, for example, what is the operating range of internal temperature? Also, what gradations are available for setting the oven temperature? 1 degree, 5 degree, 25 degree?”

Hello, thank you for your question. Gas and electric ovens will cycle on and off throughout the cycle to maintain the set temperature. When the oven temperature has dropped below the set temperature, the oven cycles on again to heat and will then cycle off again once it is higher than the set temperature. The goal is to maintain an average set temperature, but you will see a normal swing in temperatures throughout the cycle. This is typical of ovens, and is factored into how recipes are created and used. The amount the oven will cycle (either higher or lower than the set temperature) will vary, and each individual unit can be different. While we cannot provide exact temperature fluctuation ranges or variance, temperatures may vary from the set temperature by + 30 degrees to – 30 degrees. The temperature swing can also vary by how and where you are measuring the temperature in the oven, room temperature, door openings, etc. We hope this helps! If you have any further questions or concerns, don't hesitate to reach out. -Chris@GEA
