Almost every recipe for baking contains the words "bake at temperature …". Therefore, in the process of preparing confectionery (cakes, cookies, and so on), we need the correct readings of the 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 all the work. Each housewife prepares pastries in different ways: someone prefers products without a pronounced crust, someone, on the contrary, with a tender and crispy crust. If the thermometer readings are incorrect, the result may be a raw and inedible product. An oven thermometer 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 do we realize how important this item is.
Temperature conditions
Thermometers for ovens have three indicators of temperature conditions. The first is a moderate mode (from 130 to180 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 sponge cakes. And finally, the high mode ranges from 220 to 270 degrees Aim. Eclairs are often baked at this temperature. 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 - sometimes they function, sometimes they don’t. For gas ovens, this part is the most unreliable, since it lasts no more than a year (and if it does, it shows the wrong temperature). Unfortunately, a broken thermometer can only be determined by raw baked goods made in the wrong temperature. In cases where the thermometer breaks, housewives rush to the stores for a new purchase. Fortunately, their prices are quite democratic - from 400 to 600 rubles (depending on the manufacturer). All modern oven thermometers have a measuring scale up to three hundred degrees Celsius. You can install a new part in the oven without much difficulty.
Thermometers for ovens in electric stoves
Those who use electric stoves do not worry aboutabout false thermometer readings. All modern electric ovens have special baking modes, thanks to which the oven itself determines what temperature it should use.
Problems when choosing
There are no problems with choosing a thermometer for a gas oven. An oven thermometer 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 the same on all gas stoves (sometimes there may be a deviation in the mount), so the choice is limited only by your financial capabilities.
