Is an oven hotter at the top or bottom?
Question:
Answers:
It depends on where the heat source is located in the oven. Many gas ovens are hotter on the bottom (and the broiler is located in the bottom). Most electric ovens have the heat coil in the top.
Closest to the heating element, wherever that is in the over.
Basic science tells you that hot air rises, hence the top shelf of your oven is the hottest.
Depends on your oven, but generally it is hottest at the top, since the element is not always on. But if you have leaks in your seals, you can have random hot spots in different places.
