As you know, oven temperatures can vary--dramatically. This practical thermometer will help you regulate your oven and avoid annoying mishaps such as cakes not rising or cookies burning. The thermometer can sit on an oven rack or hang from its edge, depending on your needs, and the large numbers on the dial are easy to read from a distance. The package includes a chart of temperatures and cooking times for various foods that you can tuck into a drawer for easy reference. --Jennifer Harris

This came with the paper (?) inside the thermometer with all the numbers not properly aligned, i.e. it was crooked.
I threw the thermometer away when I couldn't figure out how to align it. Come on Polder you can do better.

Given that I was in the market for a new oven thermometer, and given that the reviews of most of the available thermometers were less than encouraging, I decided to buy both a Polder and an MIU and test them against a Taylor mercury thermometer.
Right off the bat, the MIU was off by 25 degrees. The Polder was dead on. However, within one day, the Polder was off by 40 degrees. But since they were so cheap, they're not worth returning.
Moral? Save your money and buy a mercury oven thermometer on eBay. They generally go for less than ten dollars and there's no guesswork involved as to their accuracy.

Stop wondering why your cakes burn or take too long to bake. Buy an inexpensive Polder oven thermometer. It will last for years, and will take the guesswork out of baking.
Remember it shows the room temperature October 11, 2006

This is a great thermometer to check how your old oven is working or even a new oven. Just remember it registers the room temperature. I tried to change it to 0 degrees. DUH! It works great!
