"My oven ran forty degrees cool for a year. I blamed myself, my yeast, the weather. It was the oven."
Why it earns its place
- Ovens drift as they age and rarely match the dial
- Tells you where the real hot spot is
- Costs less than one ruined batch
What to look for
A dial model that hangs from a rack, readable through the door.
