Oven Thermometer
You cannot be a consistent baker without one of these!
Oven temperatures fluctuate! If the temperatures fluctuate, baking times will too. You cannot trust your baking time without an oven thermometer.
Use this oven thermometer to find out what the temperature really is in your oven.
Most ovens do not register correctly--even new ovens. They can't. They heat up until they get above the setting, turn off, and start to cool. When it drops below the setting, it turns on again. It's constantly turning on and off on a timer.
Stick an oven thermometer in your oven. Just clip it to a rack--it'll hang out of the way--and leave it there.
Turn your oven on and check the temperature to see if it's right on. It likely won't be. Close the door and see if it adjusts.
When you go to put something in the oven, glance at the thermometer to see if it's where it is supposed to be.
