PSA: your oven is lying to you

Bought a $7 oven thermometer on a whim. My oven's '220°C' is actually 195°C, and it swings ±15° through the bake cycle. Years of 'why is this recipe taking longer than it says' — solved.

Cheapest upgrade in my kitchen. Gary (the starter) and I both recommend it.

$7 to stop ruining $20 of ingredients per failed bake is the best ROI in this thread's entire category. yes i calculated it
