- How to use a digital oven thermometer is what today's video is about.
Earlier on in my baking days, I purchased a fabricated Nigerian oven and that's what I use for baking cakes. I had a major challenge with burnt cakes until I bought an oven thermometer and started using it to get the right temperature for my cakes.
So, I would be teaching you how to read and use one.

Well taught.
Thanks a lot Ochoche!
This is very helpful! Glad i stumbled to your video. Im a beginner and never tried baking on an oven before, we're too scared to use our oven at home😭, but im here researching & here looking for informations and learning how to bake efficiently❤ tysm
Awww, it's my pleasure!
Glad you did as well and thanks so much for your kind words and for watching. Wishing you all the best! ☺️❤️
Thank you very much ma
You're most welcome Ifey!
My purpose for watching the video was to find out if you leave the oven temperature thermometer in the oven during the bake, or if you need to take it out to prevent the thermometer from misuse. You did not say, but perhaps you can add that information
You leave it in the oven when baking and after baking.
thank you so much... I really needed this
It's my pleasure, thank you so much for watching!
@@OluchiImoh something happened. My thermometer is outside my oven on the body. On low heat it's never passing 190°f and my goods don't done. On high heat it burns my goods. Pls what can I do.
@@maffygee2433 Sorry to hear, please put it inside the oven and let it read to the required temperature for the Cake you're baking (next time.) Secondly, if the thermometer isn't reading right, you may need to get another or have it fixed if it can be fixed.
@@OluchiImoh I'm I placing it on the second rack. Thank you ma
@@maffygee2433 you welcome.
Thanks for sharing. My oven temperature is high lately. I need a thermometer. Thanks for the education.
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching, glad it was of help!
@@OluchiImoh I am here to say thank you again. I got the thermometer and my cakes comes out very good. I use the middle rack to bake my vanilla cake instead of the upper rack. God bless you, ma'am.
@@eltriscakes5942 Aww, that's very kind and thoughtful of you! It just gives me so much joy to know the issue has been resolved. I appreciate you a million times! Checked and saw it was over a month we had a chat about this. Thank you so very much once again, would remember this for a very long time. God bless you!❤️
Thanks
You welcome.
Thanks ma
You're most welcome Beauty!
Thanks so much for the videos I'm learning. I would like to know, do we leave the thermometer in the oven throughout the baking process? I've always wondered
You're most welcome Evelyn, happy to know you are. Yes, you do but it becomes really hot after baking so to avoid burns, be careful and just leave it in your oven.
Pls is there need to reduce d fire after d oven it at 350 degree?
Thanks for sharing, ma'am.
Can I use normal thermometer (the ones medical doctors use) since I don't have the oven thermometer yet?
You're most welcome Olufunke!
I seriously doubt they work the same way. They serve different purposes.
Thank you so much for this video ma. It was actually made for me because I just got a fabricated oven just last month and I tried baking my butter based vanilla cake in it but it was a mess, these were what happened
-it took like 2 hours in the oven and still not done
-it looks densed
-it got burnt
-the middle was not leveled with the rest of the cake
I was so not happy, I had to move it to my previous way of baking
As you have mentioned I will get a thermometer but my question is won’t the decree increase more than 350F since the oven is still on?
You're most welcome Omolara.
Glad you found it valuable.
So sorry to hear about your experience
No, it will not increase.
if it does, it means there is a fault and it needs to be checked..
This has answered my question.
Don't the temperature keep rising while the oven is on. Is that OK too for the temperature to read above say 350f after the cake is in the oven
No, it won't, Chidinma.
It's been calibrated to work that way.
Hello ma I'm so happy to come across this video today. Pls I want to ask a question when the temperature gets to 350F will you remove the thermometer or you'll leave it inside the oven while baking the cake ?
Hello Iruoghene, apologies, just seeing your comment today as it's been held by YT since you posted it. You would leave it inside the oven, there's no need bringing it out. Just have a permanent position for it in there.
This is so helpful. Keep up the good work .You mentioned that fruit cakes takes a longer time to bake and on a lower temp. Please how long and what is the required temp for baking fruit cakes?
You're welcome. Thank you!
This varies from Baker to baker and it's largely dependent on the type of oven you use so I can't give specifics but the last I baked was at 300°F and it took almost 2 hours.
Wow. Thanks for replying.
@@IamJayneAdams you're welcome.
Thank you ma for the video, it was helpful but pls if I may ask ma , does it mean that as you preheat the oven and get to the right temperature for your baking, once you put in your cake batter it stops increasing.
You're most welcome Favour! Happy to know. Yes, it doesn't increase (that much even if it does) else you'd end up with burnt cakes.
I stumbled on your video, very informative. Thanks.
My fabricated oven thermometer doesn't stop rising.
How do I set or regulate it because it's fixed to the oven.
If there's a fault with the calibration how can it be fixed?
Thank you for helping.
You're most welcome Masua!
Thanks for watching.
You can contact the person you bought it from or find out if he know anyone that can service it. This is a fault with the calibration like you mentioned and they should be able to advise on the next steps to fix this ideally since they manufactured it.
Thanks
Thanks MA, can I purchase only the temomiter. Why I asked I thought it usually comes with the oven
You're most welcome.
Yes, you can.
Yes, some of the fabricated ones do.
Thank you so much ma.
Sometimes if the skewer is used to check whether it's done, it comes out clean and yet the cake would not be done completely. How do we manage that ma?
You're most welcome!
Okay, that would mean not completely done (all round) right?
You can just rotate the pan and give few minutes. This is because from my experience so far, once it's done totally the skewer comes clean no matter what part of the Cake you check.
Thanks ma this video is really helpful, opening the oven to rotate the cake while baking can't it affect the temperature of the cake being baked ?
You're most welcome.
No, please don't until it's past the rising stage or safer beyond 35/40 minutes depending on how your oven works and the temperature as well.
Another question at what time do you retote your cakes while baking, from experience if I open my oven to retote cakes some times it will make the cakes fail.
I don't rotate at all. I only bring them out when they are done. If you open your oven too early, your cakes will fall, that's the result.
Idk mam if you would reply or not but I just want to make sure one thing I bought today a thermometer and when I was trying it keeps on increasing like my oven’s 250 something temp shows 180 or lesss Celsius in thermometer so what should I do, how should I set my oven at a certain temp?
Hello, I don't really understand your question but the way I explained it's use in the video is how to go about it.
If the temperature is increasing on its own then there is a problem and it needs to be checked.
Dies that mean the moment u put the cake batter into the oven at 180 degrees Celsius the the temperature wont rise again ? And how do know if the temperature becomes too hot? If i preheat an oven and it has passed the recommended temperature before finish preparing 5he batter how do i bring it down to say 180 before i bake??
It won't rise again. If it does, then there's a fault that needs to be checked.
Your Cake would get baked faster and might get burnt too.
You don't start preheating before preparing your batter except it's a very quick recipe that doesn't take time, if not it will be too hot.
I bought an electric cooker but it doesn't have a temperature button,how do I bake without measuring temperature? must I have a temperature gauge?
To get the best results, yes, you need to invest in getting an oven thermometer.
It's really interesting, I learnt.
Please can I get your fruit cake recipe, butter based red velvet and chocolate cake
Glad you did Nnamdi, thanks for watching! There's a fruit cake recipe on my channel. The other two are available as classes for N15,000 and N10,500 respectively. Cheers!
How do I reach you, any phone no? Or WhatsApp?
Thank you ma. Please can the thermometer be use for local oven that's fabricated oven ma.
You're most welcome Grace. Yes, that's a fabricated oven that was shown in the video.
Thanks so much ma . Can we get a vid of you baking a cake with the thermometer?
If it increases what should we do?
How can I maintain the temperature?
Would it be in the oven while the cake bakes?
M still using a pot for now so can I just drop it in?
You're welcome Courage. If I can, I'd make it available.
If it does, just turn down the heat but it shouldn't except there's a fault.
Yes, it would remain in the oven while you're baking.
For the stove, I'm not too sure but you can try placing it inside the pot and see if it works.
Will the temperature remain the same after putting in the cakes,
Won't it go up?
I learnt alot from it, please cn I use it in local ovens
Thank you Adaeze, yes, I believe you can.
Thank you ma
But my cake always come out not baked at the middle but well baked at the side but just the middle part will be soggy i don't know if its the oven that has a problem or should i try using a thermometer
Am really frustrated with my outcome most times
I do have to bake at the bottom rack sometimes but still no change. ma pls help me on what to do
You're most welcome.
Sounds probably like an oven temperature issue, the heat's not been evenly distributed. Two things you can do here - try using an oven thermometer and always preheat your oven to 350°F before baking or get someone to come check/service the oven.
I pray it gets better soon and your cakes come out well.
@@OluchiImoh thank you ma
For replying
@@obadafavour5024 you're most welcome Favour!
I always learn here
Happy to know that Gaelle, thanks for watching!
Goodevening ma!
Please where did you get your oven thermometer? And while using it on fabricated oven, does it mean once it gets the the required degree your to bake for,you place in the batter till the mins your to bake for? Won’t the degree of the heat increase? Or the degree remains at the 350 till the cake is ready?
Hi Precious.
From Jumia.
Yes, preheat to the required temperature and put your cakes in at this point. No, it won't from my experience else it means your cakes would be getting burnt and there's prolly a fault with the oven calibration. However, if this happens, you can reduce the temperature.
@@OluchiImoh thank you
Please what make,,, because they are many product on jumia
@@preciousjerome7904 I don't know as I don't have it here with me. You can read reviews and get a good one.
@@OluchiImoh okay, thank you😊
Which temperature do we need to see Celsius or....f
Depends on what obtains in your location. Was formerly using F°, but currently, C° cause that's what obtains here.
How does i work when preheating your oven same as baking
Can you please clarify, not sure I get your question.
Thanks so much, very helpful because I just bought a new fabricated oven . I have a question please how long and temp to pre-heat oven for baking cake ?
You're most welcome Taiwo! I can see you have watched the video I would have recommended, I believe that it's clear now.❤️
@@OluchiImoh yes it's but for me to be sure is 250F okay to pre-heat oven, 170° to bake butter base cake and 200F for oil base cake ?
@@adebogataiwo6546 250°F is okay for preheating but for the others, it definitely depends on what your recipe calls for. I don't have different baking temperatures for my Cakes at the moment, it's one for all.
@@OluchiImoh thanks so much ma 🥰
@@adebogataiwo6546 you're most welcome. 🥰
It is ok when my fabricated oven door have some small holes in it?
Hmmm, not quite sure about this. Mine was without holes.
Pls the thermometer so according to what you said I need to preheat the oven with the thermometer in the oven before I put the cake butter??
Yes please Ruby.
@@OluchiImoh ohk.thank you for the guide as well
@@rubyaklorbortu267 it's my pleasure.
Thanks ma,please after placing the cake in the oven after preheating at the specific temperature needed,,,won't the Temperature increase after placing the cake inside?
You're welcome.
From my observation, it doesn't cause if it does, the Cake would end up getting burnt within the baking time which doesn't happen. (I guess that's the science of it.🙂)
Thanks
I use a gas oven but it gets too hot. My question is after getting the required temperature, how am I supposed to keep it at that temperature?
It would stay at the required temperature, that's how it's been calibrated except it's faulty.
I tried this today and after getting the desired temperature (170 degree celsius) I loaded my cake batter but noticed the temperature moved further to about 200 celsius after some minutes and continued to 210
What could have gone wrong?
My gas oven heat knob was set to max.
Hello Antonia, I can't say what could have gone wrong. Sounds like it's your built-in oven at home, am I correct?
If it is, just set it to 170°C if that's what you bake with and set the timer and that's all. If fabricated, then don't set to max and see what will happen. If your Cakes are getting burnt, then you might need to call a technician.
I hope it's sorted as soon as possible.
All the best.
My lowest degree for baking is 200celcuis
Hello Doris, does it bake your cakes well?
Pls ma can you share a video on how to make cookies and cream cake 🙏🙏🙏
Would try my best.
Thanks ma
Please after the thermometer reaches it’s required temperature, do u turn the oven off before baking?
Ah, no Gift. If you turn it off, how will your Cake bake? When it gets to the required temperature, put your Cake in the oven and allow it bake for the required duration.
@@OluchiImoh I’m really grateful 🙏🥰
@@giftyafatsawo4445 you're most welcome. 🥰
@@OluchiImoh so once the cake is in, does the temperature still go up?
@@missphoi6661 No, to the best of my knowledge, it doesn't except there is a fault with the oven calibration.
Good evening dear... I learnt alot seriously, but why does my cake feel so oily each time am done baking it?
Good day Gift.
Glad to know, thanks for watching!
I can't really tell as I don't know what recipe you are working with but seems like an imbalance in ingredients.
I will share my recipe playlist with you so you can wat much and try them out. They're very Good recipes.
