Would anyone happen to know, in a typical oven thermostat set at

Lower?

And what would usually be the overshoot? Would it hit a high of
350? Or even higher?

I'm sure these figures vary somewhat model to model. I'm just
looking for a ball park figure.

Thanks.

Unlikely to be better than +/- 5% (17 deg). Possibly no better than
+/- 10% (35 deg).

Certainly subject to variation depending on age and technology used.
An electric oven could possibly have better control than a gas oven
(if PWM used to modulate the heating elements).

Do an online search for specs on various brands. Is Jenn-Air better
than Kenmore or GE?
