We just rented a flat in Ma'adi, Cairo. Our oven dial doesn't list temperature settings, just 1 to 8. I've burned a couple of things already. Other than the obvious, go get an oven thermometer, anybody got a clue how to use this thing?

I think 4 is about 175 C, 350 F

1. Buy an oven thermometer and put it inside the oven
2. Turn the oven on to #1, let it preheat, and then peak in to see what temp it is. Mark a little chart/card somewhere for a guide.
3. Do the same with the rest of the numbers.

you can go to a hardware store and buy a thermometer (that stands up on your oven shelf)...is that the obvious?
I'd say you need a recipe with anything you bake, and open the oven PRECISELY when the recipe tells you it should be done---until you get the thermometer.

either ask your neighbors for help or experiment a little bit with middle level temperatures (4,5,6) and see what happens.. however in that second case you need to keep an eye on what's going on throughout the baking process

get a microwave? or get the operating manual for the stove.
