Hello everyone in the high altitude baking world! I just wanted to let you know that I have recently become an Amazon affiliate in an effort to cover the costs of my website HighAltitudeBaker.com.
As an affiliate, I only showcase a few products that I personally use and love, and that I believe will be helpful to you in your High Altitude Kitchen. I highly recommend purchasing an oven thermometer with internal thermometer feature... This tool can help ensure that your baked goods turn out perfectly every
time, and prevent any disappointing bad bakes.
