The HDS5657U is Bosch’s 500 Series 36 inch dual fuel freestanding range with a 3.2 cubic foot oven. Thirty-six inch ranges are heavy enough that levelling matters in a way it does not on a narrower appliance – a range that is not level bakes unevenly because cake batter and liquids find their own level inside the pan, and the complaints that follow sound like an oven fault. Checking the range with a spirit level across the open door is the first diagnostic step for any uneven baking report.
