I've had two convection ovens, one years ago and one recent.

And, why is it always 25 .... why not 30 or 20?

At a small cooking school I attended, we had commercial convection
ovens. *The instructor said they baked at 50 F deg hotter. *No doubt
all ovens are different.

"The instructor said they baked at 50 F deg hotter"

What does that mean?

Does it mean that the internal temperature of the oven was 50 degrees
hotter than the setting or that they *acted* as if the internal
temperature of the oven was 50 degrees hotter than the setting or that
the setting had to be 50 degrees lower than what the recipe called
for?

Must be the wind chill factor.
