I have a cheap electric oven cooker. metal on the outside. i'd rather
be sure it's safe before turning it on and touching it.. Or finding
out a bad way. It's not the heat that bothers me. It's the possibility
of getting electrocuted.

if it helps, i'll mention that i have a multimeter.

Use an ohm meter put one wire from the ohm meter on one side of the
plug and there other wire from the ohm meter to the metal on the oven
you should get no reading if its ok and then do the same thing with
the other side of the plug.
