Why does my oven keep burning everything?

Fan assisted oven, I’m sticking to the baking times and temperatures but it still keeps burning the outer edges of bakes but the middle is still uncooked.
have tried placing on a lower shelf but only makes a slight difference

Are you using an oven thermometer? Might be a good idea, oven temperature can be wildly different to what you think you've set.

Turn it down a shade then. My fan oven is also on the hot side.

Not using an oven thermometer but maybe should think about it for the future.
Will try just turning it down a bit for now and see how it goes.
thanks both

I’d def get an oven thermometer. We had same issues when we moved house - thermometer showed oven temp is 30 degrees higher than what dial is set at!

Yes get a thermometer because it’s running too hot. If you know what the temps are inside you can adjust the knobs accordingly.

Thermostat might be gone
