Does anyone have experience with a "Eurotech" gas oven? Our house here on Bonaire has one & I finally figured out how to get it started, but the temperature settings remain a mystery...

There are two dials: one is a timer, the other is presumably temperature. The temperature dial has numbers 1 thru 8, and I have no clue how this corresponds to to any temperature scale.

Can anyone help me with this, perhaps give me a conversion to degrees or Farenheit (or Celsius or Kelvin for that matter!) The only thing I've cooked in it is baked ziti - we're getting sick of it & I'd like to cook some meat. I've done a google but I can't find anything.

Okay Here goes

Hope this means the family eat better

Julia,

thank you soooo much!!! I owe you one

No problem Jenny, mine's a cold beer when we meet!

Think Oven Thermometer. That is the only way to know.

The “marks” be they 1, 2, 3 -> or 350, 375, 400 -> may say one thing but to really know and for consistency get a oven thermometer

Hey Walt

This is a side I have never seen in you.

New age hard ass diver?

Maybe you could teach the new UK sport "extreme ironing" you get points for the number of divers ironing, the depth and the duration. I will try and find a link...

But you would probably need a very very long power cord

Silly me

Where else would it be on the web

Maybe Bonaire could have a new danger sport "Extreme Baking"

Thanks for the tip, Walt. didn't even think to pick up an oven thermometer. i've never used one before, but hopefully they are self-explanatory. any idea where I can find one here?
