Learned the hard way at a 2017 baking competition in Portland
I was at the Oregon State Fair back in 2017 for a sourdough competition, and the heat in the tent was brutal. My dough kept overproofing because nobody told me the tables were right next to a convection oven exhaust. That day I started using a thermometer to check my bench temps before mixing, and it saved me from ruining a lot of batches since. Has anyone else had a recipe tank because of a weird venue setup?

Had a buddy who entered his pies in a county fair bake-off and the fridge they assigned him was cranked so cold his butter crust turned into a brick. Did he ever get them to check the temp before the next round?
