My oven shut off, after being on at 450 degrees for an hour, so I suspected either my oven is dead, or the outlet behind the oven, where it was plugged in, is dead. I immediately pulled oven away and I plugged the oven into another outlet and it worked.
Now the oven is working in the original outlet.
Do I wait and see if it happens again, or replace the outlet behind the oven?
WWYD?

You can buy an outlet tester. Test the outlets around the house that you use daily and you know work well. And compare it to the test of the outlet behind the outlet.
It can be the oven or the outlet, or it can be an auto shut off safety feature.

My fleishig oven has been extremely moody since Pesach and we have to keep moving it to a different outlet. My parve oven needs a repairman. Just commiserating, I guess.

How will any of these outlet testers help me if the oven has been working on 350 for an hour already, plugged into the original outlet.
I need a crystal ball to know if it will "short" again.

Perhaps the oven is over heating
Meaning when you put it on 450 it’s going higher and higher
As a safety it might shut down
Get an oven thermometer to test it

Sounds more like an oven issue than an outlet issue.

It will show you how much power the outlet has. If it's weak, it can work, turn off, work, turn off.
If the outlet is strong, you'll know it's the oven.

Update:
Oven has been on for 2 hours at 350, and oven thermometer shows 350, so oven is working accurately.

There are sometimes where the electric company lowers the amount of electric being sent through the wires and if your oven is electric it might not be getting full power it needs at that time. See if any neighbors had any issues. You will only see it on items that need full power. Also different outlets can be working on different incoming lines. (Houses usually have 2 coming in) so one may work and one won’t.
