Oven markings request - Cannon Salisbury

don't ovens usually go from 1-10? So put it full on and draw a number 10. then turn it to it's lowest and put a number 1.

FWIW if everyone followed the cooking instructions on supermarket meat, we'd all be dead by now - cooking is common sense, you don't eat raw meat, regardless of what it tells you on the packet

No they dont, my oven goes 1/4 turn to 'S' then a further 1/2 turn to

Who'd want to buy meat from a supermarket?

Thanks for your input anyway Phil

We eat very rare beef and pink lamb - but don't buy it from supermarkets. We know where ours has come from and their names and ages, in fact I knew the meat when it was alive, as rare breeds and purely grass fed on an organic farm.

Eating raw meat as such won't kill you. If you buy it from supermarkets you get what you deserve.

An oven thermometer would only be £, or possibly a low value of ££.

Then get one of those Dymo machines that embosses onto metal tapes to provide new labels round the knob.

Bravo Mary - Support your local farms & butchers folks - you won't regret it!

Thanks Owain,

I've got a very accurate theromocouple type thermometer and allready thought of using it, until I realised the cable would burn!

Obviously latteral thinking isn't my stong point.

I found a couple of .pdf instruction manuals for download here :

The oven knob is shown and with the reasonable magnification attained there might be enough there to work with, for your purposes. (Oh yeah, the thing is sideways but fortunately Adobe Reader lets me rotate by 90°)

She has the manual (as pdf link) but the calibrated scale isn't shown.

I'd previously looked at the website but the Salisbury is discontinued.

Thanks for your help anyway Roger.

oops - just spotted another Salisbury manual on that link, but it looks like the numbers are on the dial. The one I'm looking for is on the facia - but unless they changed the regulator I suspect the calibration is the same

Many thanks again

What is the model of the oven?

anon wrote

I've seen mention of the MkIV Salisbury so there are certainly more than one.

We've got a Cannon Camberley, if a pic of the dial from that is any good to you let me know

Cheers

This is a golden opportunity to start a web archive of oven knob images.

I have no need for pictures of oven dials.

Hold me back, someone ...

I was waiting for the knob gags....

I thought this newsgroup was too high-brow for smutty innuendo?

My guess is a Cannon Salisbury

Foolish smartarse.

Actual model number, serial number, something a bit less vague than Salisbury was what I was after.
