My oven is not great nor very reliable, I acquired this thermometer ... Indeed, I have a variation of 50 to 80 degrees at times! How I want my start in the adventure "macarons", I had to calibrate almost my oven! I am very happy, I leave hanging on the grid when possible, depending on the height ... I recommend it to those who do not have a "super oven!" I've already served several times he did not move.
