Do you have to lower your oven temperature by 25 degrees because the pans are dark?

No, I used the same oven temp as with other pans and tested cnter for doneness with a toothpick as always.

I don't, I bake like with all other pans and I have experienced no problems, the outcome is always good.

If your baking instructions tell you to then yes you have to lower the temp. This isn't as important for things like meatloaf. Mostly pertains to baked goods.

I do so as a matter of habit.It may not even be necessary but I prefer to err on the side of caution and end up with a lovely golden shade of brown on my bread crusts every time.

I have baked muffins @ 350. I don't know if they can tolerate a higher temperature. I was very happy though with the results. Hope this is helpful.

Yes, that's probably best anyway. You are supposed to cook on lower temperatures with this cookware.

Yes, if you have them on a darker setting or if you make them lighter just leave them in longer. We are really happy with the waffle maker. We even save leftovers and pop them in the toaster oven the next day.

From the description: For added convenience, the pans are oven safe to 400°F

I'm finding that my cakes are getting done more quickly, so I'm testing a few minutes before the suggested finish time. Maybe lowering the temp by 25 degrees would have the same result.

When I first started using them yes, because I was using them as if they were non-stick pans. You have to use lower heat temperatures with stainless steel.

I don't have the actual answer but we have noticed that our electric bill has gone down and we are now cooking more (it's only 2 of us). We have found that we need to drop the recipe cooking temp by 25 degrees and then the food will be done at recipe suggestion but need to check on progress last 10 min of time to make sure doesn't overcook. Oh, and when cooking on both racks we switch pans to opposite rack and turn to ensure that food is cooked evenly (esp true for cookies). Also, in summer it doesn't heat up the kitchen like a full size oven.

Oh sure, no problem with that. I use mine at 400 degrees often for baking fish or chicken. They don't clean up as well as I had hoped so I sometime line with foil to save me some scrubbing. Non stick spray or butter works well also.

not sure. I did not have this problem maybe put them lower in oven. The rack in my oven stays at a lower level all the time so maybe it was too close to heat. Hope you work it out I have really enjoyed my set.

Set the dial on oven cooking. Adjust the temperature 25 degrees at a time by turning the dial to the left to decrease the temp and right to increase it. There is a time/temperature toggle above the - + symbols. You adjust the time (press time side of toggled)left side to set time, and then the temp is on the right side, then dial left or right for desired time, then desired temp. It is manual.

I have baked in them. I've never tested them out at a very very high temperature personally (just haven't had the need). But they've always performed just fine for me at common oven temps like around 350 degrees.

Yes, as all we have is glass casserole dishes. Just decrease the temperature by 25 degrees. Enjoy!!

In a normal oven the lower you place the pan on the rack the hotter the bottom will get and it will brown. It worked for me!

I'm not sure why amazon has the statement "oven-safe up to 350 degrees F". If you look at the pan on Rachael Ray's website there is no maximum temperature listed. You may be able to call their customer service and ask if you were really concerned. I've used this pan for twice now, both turkeys were cooked at 425 degrees or maybe even 450, and the pan still looks brand new so I think its perfectly fine at 425 degrees.

I'm sorry, I don't remember exactly. - I don't believe I lowered the temp - but I did check on my breads about 5 minutes before the recommended time - I have a cake tester which I use to make sure the center of my breads are cooked. Good Luck and Happy Holidays to you all .... :D

My oven goes up to 550 degrees..it won't go higher than that..but I haven't had any problems so far putting the stones into it preheated. My stones are usually room temperature when I put them in. I've been using them for several months that way.
