A temperature control method and controller for an oven having a heater, a temperature sensor, a fan, a door, a cooking compartment and on oven on/off switch. The method includes a heat up procedure that involves running two or more heat up cycles to stabilize the cooking compartment to a cook temperature. The method also includes a time out procedure that reduces the cooking compartment temperature to a standby temperature in the event a time out period expires between the end of one cooking procedure and the start of the next cooking procedure. The method also includes an automatic cooling procedure that automatically cools the cooking compartment to a safe temperature whenever the oven on/off switch is switched from on to off.
