Why does most recipes tell you to set the oven to like 175-225

Congrats OP, no post will now answer your question and will instead comment on your image

Because recipes are designed for minmaxing the taste and effort of cooking for people, so they have an easy time at home.

If you want gourmet chef shit then go work in the industry.

>gourmet chef shit
my dinners wouldn't even sell for 15€. But they are still much better than if I do it at "normal" temps.

I even think it's less effort since it doesn't matter if I forget about it and it's in there half an hour longer

Because if I wanted to slow cook something I would use a crock pot retard.

Except you don't have to. It's not even "slow cooking" You can use exactly the same recipe and just lower the temperature 50c and it will be better

So baking and roasting are out then. I guess you are talking about casseroles and frozen pizzas, nice.

Lets say a recipe contains dough, like pizza. Too low of a temperature will fuck that shit up big time. You quite literally need to cook at 350F-425F to not have shitty pizza.

This isn't like a blanket thing by any means, so perhaps you're just reading the wrong recopies.
