It will only take about 20-30 seconds to get an oven to 75-80 deg, and about 10 seconds every hour or so to keep it there. It is important not to have too hot of an oven, and 95-100 deg is too hot for a controlled , moderate rise. Why guess, a cook should have a good thermometer anyway. The kind sold as microwave thermometers are the type I have seen (0-220), very fast acting (30 seconds), and accurate. They can be found by MICROTHERM for 6-8 dollars.
