Does anyone know where in Dublin i can get a decent oven thermometer?

My oven is way off, i used to have a thermometer i got on ebay but its not working anymore

I need one for this weekend and don't have the time to wait on an internet delivery!

I tried argos but couldn't find anything

Nisbets have very quick delivery (48 Hrs) or you can pay a few euros for a Satuday delivery

That's the type of item you would most likely find in homestore and More (there is at least one store in blanch SC)

In some other thread somebody mentioned using sugar to check your temps.

To test if your oven is running cold:.
2.
2
Preheat oven to 375°. (186° C.).
3.
3
Place a small amount of granulated sugar in an oven-proof dish or on a cookie sheet lined with aluminum foil.
4.

Place in oven for 15 minutes.
5.

If your oven is calibrated correctly, the sugar will melt.
6.

If your oven is running cold, the sugar will not melt.
7.
7
To test if your oven is running hot:.
8.
8
Preheat oven to 350°. (177° C.).
9.
9
Follow the same procedure as above.
10.

If your oven is calibrated correctly, the sugar will not melt (although it may brown a little).

If your oven is running hot, the sugar will melt.
12.

Note: ovens do not maintain a constant temperature, but cycle above and below it, so it is possible that the sugar may melt at 350° if your oven is correctly calibrated but has an extreme cycle (15° F, 8° C.).
