Cook Rite, 90300, Oven Thermometer, Stainless Steel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've never needed an oven thermometer before. That is until I moved to California and my apartment had an electric stove.
Me,only ever having used gas stoves, made the mistake of thinking that they were all the same. Well, my first meal in this oven was supposed to be meatloaf. I put the oven at 350, put the loaf in the oven and figured I'd have ample time to take a shower.
Well 10 minutes later, my house was full of smoke and there was a lovely black brick of what used to be meat in my oven.
After this little escapade, I was so paranoid about cooking anything in this oven, I would only set the thermostat to 150 and watch everything like a hawk.
Then one day, I'm surfing on Amazon and see this little beauty. I ordered it immediately. I now know that my oven was cooking at at temperature above 500 degrees (the thermometer only reads up to 500) when I so innocently put it on to 350 so I could cook my meatloaf.
The thermometer itself is very easy to read and can be put into the oven any number of ways, from sitting on a shelf to hanging from one. I am no longer afraid to use this oven and have made pies, cookies, cakes, pork chops, chicken and especially meatloaf several times now.
No more burnt food, no more smoke filled house and I'm getting ready to re label my oven thermometer dial to what the temperatures really are now (200 will get me 375) so the next person that lives here won't have the same problem.
Even if your oven thermostat is spot on, I would still get one of these, since you never know when it's going to decide to lose calibration and begin cooking at different temperatures.
Happy Cooking!
