Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Taylor Oven Guide Thermometer
Customer Review: Oven Thermometer
Summary: 4 Stars
I like this thermometer and it gives me an accurate temp. for the oven. The only thing that I wish was better is the size of the numbers on the degree number line. They are on the small size and rather hard to read without pulling the tehermometer out of the oven.Customer Review: Lasted two weeks
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this thermometer on the recommendation of Cook's Illustrated. At first, the thermometer noted that our oven was running 75 degrees cooler than what was indicated by the settings. This contradicted the results we could witness simply from observing the cooking process on various foods. Within two weeks of occasional use, the thermometer "broke" and the liquid would not move any longer. Despite the Cook's Illustrated recommendation, I have not replaced it and would caution prospective buyers to weigh the possibility of a cheaply manufactured product not performing before they purchase it themselves. If you purchase it locally, at least you'll have easy recourse should you need to replace it.Customer Review: Just OK

This thermometer is hard to read. By the time I read it, I've had the door open so long that the temp goes down. I am not sure whether to trust the thermometer or the dial on the oven. Customer Review: Great oven thermometer
Summary: 5 Stars
I use this for baking polymer clay items in a toaster oven. Polymer clay requires very precise temperatures, and the typical dial oven thermometers were not only very very slow to register temp changes, but also inaccurate. My beads would eithe rcomout burned or undrebaked.This one shows temperature changes immediately, sits conveniently at the back of the oven. With this one there have been no more burned beads!Customer Review: Unreadable

I also bought this due to the first choice recommendation of Cook's Illustrated magazine. I suppose it is accurate as I don't have a professional temperature gauge to test it. It's stable when laid flat and you can hang it as well. The BIG problem is that the ink on the markings fade over time, either due to the high temp in the oven or something else. Grease also get splattered all over and impossible to remove. I rubbed it with a Brio pad but couldn't remove much stain though the ink faded even more. It's practically useless now, just sitting in my oven as I couldn't see the markings unless I took it out and look at it closely.
