 Save Your Money September 5, 2008

When the thermometer arrived, the glass tube slid freely in the metal frame, making calibration useless. Amazon's supplier said they'd replace it, and since it was fairly inexpensive, don't bother returning it. I threw it away.
The replacement arrived and was much better, and quite accurate, but within 2-3 months in the oven the metal darkened so much (not spattered food, just dark metal), that the black numbers became almost impossible to read - and invisible through the oven door. I don't really use the oven that much, especially in the summer - which is now. Maybe once a week, and I'm not making pizza at 550 F, and it's not a self-cleaning oven either. Then I get a message from Amazon that since they never got a return of the first one they would now charge me for the second. Deep sigh - it's only $12, I tell myself, WTF.
Then today, I pick the thermometer up (the only way to read it) with gloves, from my preheated oven and the fluid that is supposed to indicate the temperature is spread throughout the tube like a freakin' bar code. Totally useless, and it won't shake down like a fever thermometer. Second one in the trash. I will NOT buy a third.
 Oven Thermometers are extremely Important September 5, 2008

Very few ovens temperatures are correct. I keep two different brands of thermometer in my oven.The one highly recommended by Cook's Illustrated it the Taylor Oven Guide Thermometer. I also keep a few extra to give as small tokens to my wonderful friends.

Until now I have always used oven thermometers with a glass front that eventually discolored or got food on them that baked on and wouldn't come off so you couldn't read the internal temp of the oven without opening the door all the way. This thermometer has large numbers, is easy to read and doesn't have a glass front that eventually clouds over. Price was reasonable, quality is great.
 ALWAYS STOPS WORKING August 12, 2008

I have had several of these and they always stop working properly. Too bad someone doesn't come up with an oven thermometer that lasts.
Useless - You can't Read It April 23, 2008

It is hard to recommend a thermometer you can't read!!
This thermometer has to be tilted to a very precise angle in order to read it when it is new. Even then, your eyesight needs to be close to perfect to get a reading!
After a bit of routine cooking there will be deposits on its surface. Then you'll have a thermometer no one can read, even the eagle eyed.
I happily threw it away and purchased a Sunbeam 90300 with nice clear markings.
