My roommate and I just moved into our apartment a few days ago and have yet to actually use our oven. We decided to break it in by baking cookies, and we tried three times with weird results. Round 1 we baked at 375 and for 6 minutes (was going to be 8 but there was a burning smell) so we checked and they were BURNT. Round 2 we baked at 300 for 4-5 minutes and they were slightly burnt on the sides and raw in the middle, and Round 3 was the same but significantly smaller cookies. So after some googling it’s an issue with the ovens internal temperature being way too high. So just curious if anyone has any advice as to what to do or if we should contact the landlord.

Also should probably mention that the stove had rusted through drip pans that the landlord said she would replace? But honestly I assumed that was an issue with the previous tenants but could that also be an issue with the oven itself?
