How much are those oven thermometers?

Not that expensive. I'd buy one from Pampered Chef. They're not the cheapest, but their products seem like they were made by people who went to college. o:

I checked when it had like 30 minutes to go. It was still a little moist. 5 minutes later burnt.
Oh well. I'll get a thermometer and keep a better eye on it.
