SC - Coleman oven

[Alderton, Philippa]

While I don't have a Coleman oven as you've described, I have one of those
Coleman cooker/steamer/smoker/whatevers, which has a thermometer on the
outside, basicly telling you it's Cool, Cooking temp, and Hot. I put an oven
thermometer in it, to see what temperatures were where, and now I know that
if the needle is Here, the temperature is about 350- if it's There, about
450, and the other places, it's either cool or hotter than the hinges of
Hell.

Now that I know, I can do anything in it- ask Jasmine ;-) It functions as an
oven, or a burner, or anything else I need, but it wouldn't, if I hadn't
taken the time to calibrate it.

My suggestion is to get up off the 3 or 4 dollars for an oven thermometer,
and calibrate your oven. It will save you worry in the long run- they're
great for checking the one in your kitchen, too.
