Almost every baking recipe has the words “bake at temperature ...”. Therefore, in the process of preparing confectionery (cakes, cookies, etc.), we need the correct thermometer in the oven. In order for it to show the correct degree, it should be adjusted, since the slightest deviation in temperature can ruin the whole work. Each housewife prepares baked goods in different ways: someone prefers products without a pronounced crust, someone - on the contrary, with a tender and crispy crust. If the thermometer reads incorrectly, the result may be a raw and inedible product. A thermometer in the oven is an integral part of every gas stove, and it depends on it whether your cake or pie will be delicious. And only when it breaks, we understand how important this subject is.
Temperature mode
Thermometers for ovens have three indicators of temperature conditions. The first is a moderate mode (from 130 to 180 degrees Celsius). It is ideal for baking yeast pies. The second mode is called medium (from 180 to 220 degrees Celsius). It is great for making biscuit cakes. And the last, high mode ranges from 220 to 270 degrees Aim. At this temperature, eclairs are often baked. In this case, the temperature regime should be changed every 10-15 minutes. As you can see, a normally functioning thermometer is indispensable.
Oven thermometer - specifications
But sometimes there are times when the thermometer breaks. Those who have a gas oven at home (and this is the vast majority of Russians) are faced with the problem of repairing thermometers. Even imported manufacturers sometimes have “capricious” thermometers for ovens - they either function or not. For gas furnaces, this part is the most unreliable, since it serves no more than a year (and if it does, it shows the wrong temperature). Unfortunately, the breakdown of the thermometer can only be determined by raw baked goods made in the wrong temperature conditions. In cases when the thermometer breaks, the housewives rush to the stores for a new purchase. Fortunately, their prices are quite affordable - from 400 to 600 rubles (depending on the manufacturer). All modern oven thermometers have a measurement scale of up to three hundred degrees Celsius. Installing a new part in the oven is easy.
Thermometers for ovens in electric stoves
Those who use electric stoves are not worried about the false readings of the thermometer. All modern electric furnaces have special baking modes, thanks to which the oven itself determines what temperature it needs to use.
Problems choosing
There are no problems with choosing a thermometer for a gas oven. The thermometer for the oven has a certain scale and performs the same function as all other brands and models, so you will not have any restrictions when choosing. They fit equally on all gas stoves (sometimes a deviation in the mount is possible), so the choice is limited only by your financial capabilities.
