This thermometer has a big easy to read face. It's much more accurate thqn the one that came mounted in the door of my oven.

The thermometer works fine. I like that I can hang it from the back of the oven rack so that it's out of the way. It's also easy to read. What more could you ask for?

My wife found that this a much more accurate temperature reading than setting on the range. It really helped with baking projects and meat preparation.

My oven is a Maytag. I've had nothing but trouble with it since I bought it three years ago. It is an inferior product and is apparently a subsidiary of Whirlpool. The temperature never seemed quite right and the cheap little thermometer I bought at Target just didn't do the trick. This thrmometer is accurate and I've finally been able to figure out my oven's temp. and the fact that it gradually wanders up to ten degress above the temp I set. I highly recommend this item.

My baked goods and food cooked in the oven have NEVER tasted this good. It is wonderful. Wish I had bought it years ago.
Elegant and accurate

I used this to calibrate my new oven which was off by 4 degrees. Instantly made a difference in two recipes not to mention basic cakes. Money well spent.
Superior mounting clip; numbers too small

Pros:

1. Improved mounting clip: Most cheap thermometers fall off the rack with the slightes nudge and whenever I slide the rack in or out. This one clips on more securely.

2. Better positioning: It can sit securely atop a rack, tilted back for easier viewing.

Cons:

1. Hard to read: Big dial but small numbers.

2. Expensive: Double to triple the price of the economy models.

3. Not fully oven-proof: The advertising boasts a temperature range up to 600 degrees, but a prominent "WARNING" on the package recommends "removing the thermometer" if the oven is used above 440 degrees to avoid cosmetic damage.

4. No metric scale: Fahrenheit only.


Other comments:

1. Speed: In an oven pre-heated until another thermometer read 425 degrees, this one took about 12 minutes to go from room temperature to a stable reading of 425.

2. Accuracy: I don't know how accurate it is, but at least it's consistent with my old thermometer. After it reached 425 degrees, this model's reading matched the 425-degree reading on the old thermometer almost exactly.

I bought this because I had a sneaky suspicion my oven wasn't working the way it should. Sure enough, it beeps to say it's preheated to 350, but it's really still at 250. And all this time I just thought my oven preheated super fast! So, that said, after waiting for a while, I see that my oven really is calibrated just fine (after a while, the temp rises to 350 and stays steady at that temperature). So, I just need to wait before I put stuff in the oven. I would never have known this without this nifty thermometer!

My only problem is that I have yet to figure out a way to put the thermometer in there and keep it out of the way and yet still be able to read the face. I think I just need to keep playing with this to find something that works for me. I cook daily and often use both racks, so I am probably in a different place than most people.
Okay, but...

What they do not say until you actually get it, is that at temps in excess of 600 degrees it won't last. I have a commercial oven that tops out at 700, so I don't expect this thermometer to last too long.
