Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Taylor Oven Guide Thermometer
Customer Review: ALWAYS STOPS WORKING
Summary: 2 Stars
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.Customer Review: Useless - You can't Read It
Summary: 1 Stars
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.
Customer Review: Quality Talyor Oven Guide Thermometer
Summary: 4 Stars
I have had this oven thermometer for four months now and it is fantastic. I have taken good care not to wash it with anything abrasive like steel wool and I have not lost the numbering system. It is easy to hang on any rack in the oven. My only complaint would be that the fluid be a different color so that the contrast would be greater between the fluid and the metal. It is hard to read it through the glass of the oven door.Customer Review: Useless after one washing
Summary: 1 Stars
One month in the oven, one trip
through the dishwasher and it's a piece of
stained stainless steel with no markings.
One star for Taylor's audacity.
Customer Review: Pretty good, except for two flaws...
Summary: 3 Stars
The thermometer seems to be quite accurate. The biggest flaw is the numbers. As others have said, they come off very easily if you aren't careful. They could also be larger, and in a more contrasting color - when the metal tints from the heat, they're black on brown, for a low contrast. I bought this one because liquid devices are more accurate than bimetallic (dial) devices, but the most accurate thermometer can't help if you can't read it. The other flaw is that you can't tilt the thermometer. That means you'll have to bend the feet, depending on where you place the thermometer, until you have a good viewing angle. These folks need to get together with the guys at OXO who really seem to know how to design stuff for usability.
