Just use a temp gun, note that once it’s pre heated you are best off opening the oven door check with gun if it’s off let it cycle a bit longer. Check with gun in another 5 mins if still not to designated temp hold bake until you see 00 up or down arrows get you calibrated accordingly. Let cycle again check temps should be good.
My oven is an older model, it has a very simple control panel. Somehow it has gotten changed to Celsius instead of Fahrenheit. I've tried holding the up arrow down, all it does is beep and change to 50 11 which I have no idea what that means. Help.
The problem is that you don't know whether your oven thermometer is accurate (and most aren't). I've got 5 oven thermometers and they all give different temperatures. Which one is correct. The only certainty is that water boils at 100°C, so long as you're at sea level. I'm trying to figure out how I can use the boiling point of water to establish which oven thermometer is accurate. I have an infrared thermometer, I need to verify if that is accurate; the problem being that the infrared readings are affected by the colour of the material being measured. Any suggestions?
Imagine a resident comes home while your baking biscuits in their oven for a work order🤣
Ha! That would be epic. "see ma'am, biscuits are done, oven works fine!"

This is the exact oven I have. The temp is correct but it won't stop at preheat. I changed the preheat sensor and still not working
Newer (Kitchenaid) electric oven calibration is via the Options Menu
