oven thermometer

Wig

Have a broken thermostat on the oven, the gas flow is still adjustable. I want to mount a permanent thermometer inside the oven. Just wondered if any of you have done this.

I found thermometers I think would be ok left inside the oven 24/7 for a few quid, but do you know of any

That are specifically said to be able to do this or which have better more permanent fixings. The first comment for the product says the glass blackens over time - don't like the sound of that.

If not I would buy one like this one and drill a few holes in it to bolt or screw it to the inside of the oven.

And do you think I could buy this in a supermarket or on the average highstreet (no kitchen shops here).

Hi Wig

I had one of those & just hung it from the shelf. The glass did discolour but took ages to do it and I probably should have cleaned it!

I believe I got mine from Woolworths (sorry thats no much help is it) But have seen then in quite a few places - do you have a Wilko's?

I had one for the same reason as you but I might pick up another one as I think my oven is running a little hot.
