Humidity, at 375ºF?!?!?

Old wives tale. At baking temperatures there is no more or less
humidity present in either oven. Both gas and electric ovens will
often display some condensation when first turned on. But this has to
do with ambient climatic conditions. Both types of ovens are equally
vented. As oven temperatures rise moisture rapidly dissipates. Far
more moisture is generated by that which is baking than from any other
source... and even that has no effect... obviously you've never tried
to add moisture to a hot oven, either type of oven, not easy.
