There is set of various models of kitchen stoves. Plates of different price category differ from each other in complete set and design. So, some plates in ovens can have no thermometer. Instead, at the handle of the regulator of oven there are numerical values. To learn what value corresponds to certain temperature condition is possible in the following ways.
Instruction
1. Compliance of digits to degrees can be learned from the instruction which was attached to plate. If it has not remained, try to learn model of your plate. Carefully examine it. Look for on it the name or marking. If you find necessary information, you will be able to find the instruction on the website of the manufacturer or to communicate to other owners of such plates online. Perhaps, they kept documentation for this model of plate.

You will be able to pick up the thermometer for the price and design which will organically look on oven. Such thermometers are manufactured of stainless steel.
3. Define degrees by ordinary baking flour. It is enough to take small pinch of this product. Put in oven on baking sheet clean sheet of paper. The oven has to be warmed by this time. Fill a little flour on paper and observe its state within several seconds. Fast carbonization of flour means that temperature in oven corresponds to 270-280 degrees. Fast change of yellow color of flour with dark-brown means that the oven was warmed up to 220-240 degrees. If flour has slowly got yellow shade, then temperature of oven is not higher than 180-200 degrees.
4. Also it is possible to learn oven temperature by means of white sugar. Fill sugar teaspoon on foil so that the small hill was formed. The foil has to be laid on baking sheet in hot oven. Slowly increase oven temperature by means of the regulator. If you have noticed that sugar has begun to melt, can stop rotation of the regulator. Oven temperature at this moment is 200 degrees. This temperature is enough to bake the majority of dishes.
