SC - Bad Feasts--Philosophically Speaking

[Decker, Terry D.]

Even if you have tested them earlier in the week, test them again when you
come on site.

If you need the ovens, be sure you have an oven thermometer for each, so you
can set them close to the appropriate temperature.

Even that may not be enough.  My biggest fiasco occurred when I had four
ovens fail in the space of 2 hours and was unable to finish the second
course.
