    I dunno ... maybe that was an easier temperature for when stoves had to have fireboxes?


    Nope.
    I actually found an article about it:

    You wouldn't want anything you put in the oven to be"half-baked" now would you?

    Because you can't set the oven to 351.

    Was that the degree I was supposed to be at?
    I thought baking had a totally different meaning.

    I didn't know it got that hot in Arizona.

    I thought it only got up to about 175° This post was edited by Kittigate at March 25, 2019 7:17 PM MDT
