(Guest Post) Since you already have a portable oven thermometer your 1/2 way there. Take the knob off the dial by pulling (usually). Insert a long skinny screwdriver into the shaft that the knob was on and turn to the right to raise the temp or left to lower it. Give yourself time because you have to keep checking the thermometer. Posted on 11/13/2006 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Oven Heating To The Wrong Temperature By Alph (191) Contact I'm using a GE electric stove my parents bought just after WWII, and I have the same problem with it. I'm looking for a good oven thermometer and have pretty much concluded it will need to be digital. There are a couple of things I want to mention though that might help. First be sure and put the thermometers on the same shelf (or rack) as the food will be cooked on. The other thing is some years ago Snap-On Tools came out with a digital thermometer for remotely reading temps of fluids inside an engine, particularly in the cooling system. It had a probe, basically a little wire which could be inserted into a hose connection, etc. I am (as I type this) checking Amazon.com to see if any such thing exists for oven use, and it looks pretty interesting. Check them out (search "Oven Thermometer" on the Amazon.com site). Good luck, and happy cooking!

What is a good brand name of an oven thermometer? I know anyone can adjust their thermostat settings for their oven -- check your stove manufacuturer's manual. But exactly how do you know at what setting?

This is not something the householder can or should do, so contact your power company and see if they can help. Good luck!

Havin a good oven thermometer is a good idea no matter what kind of oven you have.
