Amazon.com Review Most ovens, especially old ones, run hotter or colder than their set temperatures indicate. Rather than guessing how much to raise or lower the heat for a particular recipe, bake and roast with precision using a highly accurate oven thermometer like the Taylor Oven Guide. Made from durable, heavy-duty stainless steel, this mercury-free thermometer measures temperatures from 100 to 600 degrees Fahrenheit. The large, easy-to-read face also provides Celsius markings and a heating zone guide as well. Dishwasher-safe, this thermometer can hang in the oven or stand alone. It's NSF listed for food hygiene and safety. --Mary Park

Useless December 2, 2008 P. Tan (Colorado, US) I, too, bought this thermometer based on the test kitchen equipment review. I accidentally knocked it over, and it fell through the grates into the heating element while the oven was on. The numbers rubbed off after that, and I can't read this greatest of oven thermometers.
Not Recommended November 24, 2008 Craig J. Turner (Temcula, CA) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
All of the lower rated reviews are absolutely true. I've used this thermometer for several months and it is hard to read the numbers and also the "mercury" in the thermometer to tell what the temperature really is. It gets dirty with grease splatter and thus it's hard to read. I washed it by hand with 409 and a sponge with the misplaced hope that the numbers would survive; they didn't. Also, when I washed it the glass rod slid in the metal holders / clamps so any calibration that it had was no longer valid. I am now testing how hot my trash can gets in the S. Calif sun. I'm not buy this item again. Burn me once, .....
Waste of time and money November 19, 2008 Richard A. Carey (Centreville, VA USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought this product because it was reviewed by a test kitchen and they said it was the best. I saw some of the reviews about the problem with the paint coming off and felt that it was just sore grapes from people that did not like the test kitchen. Well, it was not sore grapes. I used this thing once. Went to clean it and ALL the numbers rubed off. What a piece of junk!
Great until the first washing. September 29, 2008 Charlie Blake (Houston, Texas) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a decent thermometer, until it is washed. The first time I washed it all the numbers, letters, and lines came off. I do agree with everyone that it was hard to read, but it does measure very well. c
A little hard to read September 24, 2008 Scott Jaeger (Brookfield, WI USA) I've read reviews outside of Amazon as to it's accuracy and I'm basing the four stars on that. It's stays pretty much out the way, as you can set it on the rack or hang it. It is a little hard to read, as you have to be at the correct angle to view it. Like an old fashion glass thermometer to check your body temperature.
