Accurate and Sturdy
By MDM
I purchased two of these, to double-check the accuracy. They consistently "tracked" together through many uses. Now have one in each of my ovens. I also work in many different kitchens, so these go with me everywhere. Most oven thermostats are at least 25 to 50 degrees in error (even in "high-end" ovens), and this thermometer helps ensure consistent results every time.

No longer top choice of Cook's Illustrated.
By S. Hamilton
While this CDN oven thermometer WAS a former favorite of "Cook's Illustrated" in new tests(Jan & Feb 2011 issue)... it was a fourth-place finish "numbers fade over time, plus new copies purchased for our testing were off by five degrees" according to Cook's Illustrated testers. The current top rated oven thermometer is Cooper-Atkins Oven Thermometer which they described as "sturdy, accurate and cheap [$5.95]. After six months, the face was still legible and readings remained "spot-on".

Good design
By Charles Windley
I bought this to test my oven. I learned that the temp. of my electric oven is correct but takes twice as long to warm up. That's worth knowing. The digital on my oven says 'preheat' and them beeps when ready. It is off by almost 6 minutes.
This unit is small, easy to read and it can stand on a rack or hang under a rack.
I didn't really need this anymore after testing my oven so I gave it to a neighbor. It is presently making the rounds in the neighborhood.
The only complaint is some sharp edges. I didn't cut myself but I could have.
