oven thermometer

Heat level checker

An oven thermometer is a device placed inside an oven to measure its actual temperature, since built-in oven dials are often inaccurate.

Most are analog gauges that hang from a rack or stand on the oven floor: The oven thermometer showed it was running twenty degrees hot.
