STEP 4: Check the oven thermometer and determine the actual temperature inside your oven. If it does not read 350 degrees, subtract the two numbers from each other to determine how far off the oven is, and in which direction. (My thermometer came out at 420 degrees -- 70 degrees too hot!)

FOR OVENS WITH MANUAL DIALS/KNOBS:
Pull off the oven temperature control knob, and look on the back. There should be a small dial to adjust the knob to make the oven hotter or cooler. You may need to use a screwdriver to loosen and adjust the dial.

Remove the thermometer and check the temperature. You may need to repeat the process a couple of times to get the temperature just right. (Mine took three tries!)
FOR OVENS WITH DIGITAL CONTROL PANELS:
The calibration procedure may vary a bit from brand to brand. You can find instructions in your owner's manual, or visit the manufacturer's website.
For a GE oven, the process is as follows:
1. Press the "Bake" and "Broil" button at the same time until "SF" appears on the control panel.
2. Press the "Bake" button again until "00" appears on the control panel.
3. Use the up-and-down arrows to adjust the temperature accordingly.
4. Press the "Start" button to save your changes.
