Like a private investigator for your crappy, cheating oven.

I bought this after persistent frustration with my oven. I live in a rental apartment and my oven is pretty crappy. I was suspicious that it wasn't as hot as it claimed to be when I preheated it. This isn't such a big deal if you're just throwing a frozen pizza in the oven for twenty minutes, but I like to cook. I feel like my oven has been cheating on me. I needed to catch it in the act. Over the past year and a bit I've dabbled in bread making. Usually I'm pretty handy in the kitchen, and I know how to do my research. I buy all the right flour and yeast, gauge the humidity of the room when rising the dough, hide my sourdough starter in a spot under the bed where the dog and my missus can't find it, inevitably forget about the sourdough starter myself, discover it two months later when I flip the mattress, give up on the idea of sourdough and just make a regular white bread dough, and finally put the loaf in the oven to bake for the time specified in the recipe. After all that work, I end up with consistently cakey bread. It's no good for eating, but it's great for propping open the fridge door when I'm stacking it with groceries. It's like dwarf bread; I'm pretty sure there's a line in The Fellowship of the Rings where Sam complains about it. Anyway, I decided to settle the debate: am I a crummy baker, or is my oven the culprit? So, I bought this thermometer. The result: my oven really does suck! When it beeps for 350F, the thermometer reads 300F. Goodbye, delicious chicken parmigiana; hello salmonella! Goodbye, carefully scheduled 7:30pm dinner; hello, 8:15pm apologies and wine on an empty stomach! In honesty, I'm yet to try baking a loaf since buying this thermometer. But it is helping me to restore my faith in my own ability, like a private investigator who reassures you that you're not paranoid; yeah, sorry bud, your wife *is* cheating on you with her young co-worker, Steve. I can't divorce my oven, but I can keep it honest with this thermometer. Highly recommended.

Good first impression

I purchased one each of these for the fridge and freezer. My choice was based on reading many, many reviews of this and other models. My conclusion was that this was the most well-made and accurate. I appreciated that right out of the package, both were registering the same temperature. That tells me that they are likely accurate. I have observed that the one in the fridge will go down quickly if the door is open, so it is apparently sensitive. If you want an accurate reading for the refrigerator, put it somewhere at eye-level that you will see immediately upon opening the door and notice the temperature right then, before it has the chance to dissipate . Some people complained that these don't hang correctly in all refrigerators; since I have glass shelves, I cannot hang mine. I simply put it near the front at the top.

Very Accurate.....

Bought a brand new Bosch dual fuel range........ the stove is 5 burner Gas but the oven is Electric. I wasn't sure my oven was giving me a true reading so I wanted something to test it for accuracy. I had good luck with the Rubbermaid's Commercial Stainless Steel Freezer/Fridge gauge so I took a chance on this one. So I put it into the oven, pushed bake 350 and let it preheat and chime when it hit that temp. Then I waited another 5 minutes just to be sure. Lo and Behold, when I opened the oven door, it said 350 degrees RIGHT ON THE BUTTON........... SEE PHOTO. Now I know when I set the oven to 350, it's going to be correct and accurate.

Great Oven Thermometer!

Helped me diagnose/confirm that our 14-year old oven was dying/developing a major issue. Helped us realize that our conventional oven could only reach 300 degree's tops. Also helped us realize our small toaster oven was about 20 degrees cooler than what it's settings indicated, due to our high elevation (Utah). This helps us know to adjust temperature to compensate for the elevation difference for recepies. Simple to use. Has a stand and a hook. Note: It's easy to accidentally bend it's metal (it's think and almost like an aluminium can), but for the low cost that's not a surprise and you can bend the metal back to the way it ought to be if you're too rough with it, so that's not a big deal at all. Cheaper than paying a repair guy to diagnose our oven issue. ;-) Also nice to know how our elevation affects the temperature so we can adjust for cooking recepies better.

Like some others

OK. Like some others, I could not decide between this one and the DayMark IT115410 Stainless Steel Dishwasher-Safe Refrigerator/Freezer Classic Thermometer, 2.4" Dial Size. So I bought both. The Rubbermaid one wins hands down bec of the unusual and crummy hook and stand on the Daymark. The Daymark hook is designed to only hang on bars running in one direction, but it is too narrow to hang on mine running in that direction. The Rubbermaid easily hangs on the bars running in both directions. Likewise the Daymark stand is so narrow it falls through the bars, so it won't stand. Again, no such problem w/ the Rubbermaid. Both show identical temperatures in the freezer. Save you money and just get the Rubbermaid.

Appears to be accurate, easy to read, good price

My oven's built-in thermometer started acting wacky a while back so I got a similar oven thermometer for it CDN POT750X High Heat Oven Thermometer. Lately the oven got wackier than usual and I couldn't even tell if that thermometer was correct anymore. So I bought this to compare with the first one. Both thermometers were reading the same temp at different oven settings, which told me two things; Both thermometers work and appear to be accurate and my oven's is all kinds of farked up. This one is a little bigger and looks to be better built than the CDN one and the bigger dial and numbers are easier to read. And it's cheaper too (well, now anyway).

Works great, good price.

I ordered two of these thermometers to test a new top-freezer refrigerator I have on order. The refrigerator is going in the garage. Low winter garage temperatures can sometimes trick a refrigerator into not running enough. This can lead to a cold refrigerator, but a freezer that's not cold enough. To remedy the cold enviornment, I ordered a "garage-ready" refrigerator. A garage-ready refrigerator essentially allows the freezer to keep running in cooler surrounding temps. Anyway, I ordered two of these thermometers to make sure my frig/freezer temps weren't changing with the seasons. Upon arrival both thermometers were very close in their temperature reading. One read 70 degrees and the other read 69 1/2. A 1/2 degree temperature difference is not a big deal to me. As my photo shows, after they were put in my refrigerator they maintained a reading within a 1/2 degree of each other. The thermometers have hooks that will work on wire grates that go left/right as well as front/back. They also have a stable base so they can be placed on an interior shelf. For the money you can't go wrong buying these.

Paid for itself in 1st month

Purchased on a whim while on sale. Works well and is sturdy; large dial is easy to read. After receiving it and putting it into the fridge, I kind of wondered why I bought it in the first place. When my wife asked "Why did you buy that?" I did not have a really good answer. Fast forward one month later. I went into the fridge to get some water before going to bed. On the thermometer I noticed the needle had risen from its usual position in the middle of the red SAFE zone. This was my first hint that something was amiss so I began troubleshooting. Sure enough, my defrost control board was shot, leading the blower to ice up and stop moving cold air from freezer to fridge compartment). I moved the food into some ice chests or into the freezer (which was still going strong). Naturally we had gone shopping the previous afternoon and the fridge was chock full for Memorial; Day cookout. Because of this thermometer, I saved about 95% of the food. If I had not seen that needle had moved ever so slightly to the top of the red SAFE zone, I am sure I would have woken up to a lot of spoilage and a mess to clean up.

If hyou can't stand the heat....

Bought a high ticket combo convection microwave over-the-range oven that I perceived was not heating properly. I purchased this oven thermometer to check it out. I was right. The repair man who can saw which oven thermometer I had didn't even question it's accuracy. He said "you won't find a better one." That's enough for me>

It's not exciting, it's not sexy, but it's essential for every house

If you looked up the word functional in the dictionary you wouldn't be surprised to see an illustration of an oven thermometer. There is literally NOTHING sexy or appealing about this, but damn is it functional. And this one functions up there with the best of them. The reason we bought this was because I grew suspicious about the temp on our oven. We moved recently, and the oven was in situ, and really new and expensive looking so we didn't want to replace it. But it just wouldn't cook stuff - a key task for an oven - at least not in the time we thought it would. And I am obsessive, perhaps compulsively so, about timing the different parts of a meal to come out at the same time. I hate keeping things warm, or - oh the horror - reheating them, and it was ghastly to time and again have to put stuff back in because it wasn't done, in the meantime everything else not cooked in the oven was spoiling on the side. Enough to give me indigestion. So we bought this, threw it in and pre-heated. 20 degrees off! Who lived in this house before? Savages. Downloaded the PDF manual for the oven, fiddled with the settings and ran the pre-heat test again. The thermometer and oven were in sync and my life joined them again. Now things are cooked on time and meals are no longer ruined. All thanks to this wonderful, functional little thing. Everyone should have one - test your oven, even if you think it's okay, and check it again every few months. Ovens can drift, and it's better to be safe than ruin your meals. Recommended.
