CHECKING YOUR OVENS TEMPERATURE

You aren't sure that your oven is heating properly, but you don't have a thermometer, nor are you sure that you can trust it.

Try this little tip to guesstimate where your oven is heating at.

Preheat the oven to 350º. Place a tablespoon of flour onto a baking sheet and place in the oven for 5 minutes.

If the color is:

Light Tan, Approx oven temperature is 250º-325º

Golden Brown, Approx oven temperature is 325º-400º

Dark Brown, Approx oven temperature is 400º-450º

Almost Black, Approx oven temperature is 450º-525º

Although this is not an exact science, it will still let you know if someone needs to take a look at your oven.
