I know it's very tempting to open your oven and check on your delicious treats, but here is exactly why you shouldn't do it.
Temperature fluctuations - when you open the oven door, heat escapes which causes a drop in temperature. This leads to uneven baking or longer baking times
Humidity changes - the ovens environment is critical for certain baked goods. Opening the door can affect humidity levels which can alter textures especially in items such as soufflés or cakes
Leavening - for items that rely on rising such as bread or cakes the sudden change in temperature when opening the oven door can cause them to collapse or not to rise properly
For optimal results, it is recommended to avoid looking into the oven until the full baking time has elapsed.
Additionally, preheating your oven is crucial as it promotes even cooking and allows your baked goods to rise properly.
