re: #35 klys

My oven was built by General Electric and comes complete with a handy guide for meat cooking temperatures, including notes for ham, duck, lamb, veal, fresh pork, turkey, and a two crust pie.

It’s original to the house, which was built in the 60s. We found the manual for it in one of the kitchen drawers at some point.

The thermostat has been off by at least 25 degrees since I moved in - used to be 50, but my dad tweaked the dial somewhat so that it matches a little better now. That involved a knife.

From a random GE website

Models with knobs:

Pull the OVEN TEMP knob off the shaft, look at the back of the knob and note the current setting before making any adjustments.
Loosen both screws on the back of the knob.
To increase the oven temperature, move the pointer 1 notch toward the words “Make Hotter.”

To decrease the oven temperature, turn the pointer 1 notch toward the words “Make Cooler.”

Each notch changes the temperature by 10 degrees F.
Tighten the screws.
Replace the knob, matching the flat area of the knob to the shaft.
