Blew my mind that bakers in the 1800s used to test oven temp by sticking their arm inside
Saw it in an old baking manual at a thrift store last weekend, said if you can hold it in for 15 seconds it's about 350. Has anyone here ever tried something that sketchy for a temp check?

No joke, I did that once. Put my hand in a wood-fired pizza oven at a friend's place. Counted to twelve before I yanked it out. Burnt my arm hair off but the pizza was perfect.
