calibrate oven
Barb
02/04/09 		Does anybody know how to calibrate an oven? I had a repair guy come out here and he supposedly fixed it, but it still takes twice as long as it should take to cook anything. I bought a $4.00 thermometer, but I am assuming I should get a better one. does anyone know of one?

02/06/09 		I bought a cheapie thermometer and the repair guy ( who said he calibrated the oven) told me it was inaccurate) However, after he finished with the oven, it still is not heating properly. So...I don't know whether to trust my $4 or buy another. do you know a brand that is accurate.
