Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of MIU France Stainless Steel Commercial Oven Thermometer
Customer Review: It died?
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this oven thermometer because it was cheap enough and had a lot of good reviews. Unfortunately, after a couple months of living in my oven, it just kind of...died? I found that no matter how hot my oven got, the dial never went higher than 400 degrees. Then one day, the dial went all the way over to 45o degrees and stayed there. Even when I put the thermometer in the freezer, it still read 450.
Not sure what happened, and I'm not sure if this was my fault or the thermometer's, but I'll be buying a different oven thermometer from now on.
Customer Review: Good Value for Price
Summary: 4 Stars
Either my oven is perfectly calibrated and this thermometer is dead-on accurate, or by exquisitely unlikely conicidence, they are both equally off. It is easy to read and you can hang it off a rack. The only part I do not like is that because the base has a cut-in, (the purpose of which I have not figured out -no mention in package materials), it is hard to set it on a rack without having it fall over, on its own, or when you move the rack. Still a good value. If anyone knows the reason for the u-shgaped cut-in on the base, please clue me in.Customer Review: Not Waterproof!
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased two. One for my oven and one to put in a make it yourself solar oven. I wiped them with a soapy cloth as directed, but then rinsed them under running water. Both got water inside. I e-mailed the company and they responded quickly telling me that they are NOT waterproof. I was instructed to let them dry out and they would work fine. As far as accuracy, I placed them both in my home oven and they had a difference of about 5 degrees. Not too bad. Each line is 10 degrees. They're stable and easy to see.Customer Review: Good Thermometer
Summary: 4 Stars
I've had this thermometer for about a month and I am really pleased with it. The numbers are easy to read at a glance and I trust the accuracy of the temperature readings.
My only reason for not giving this 5 stars is that the stand for setting the thermometer on the oven rack is flimsy and the thermometer often falls off the rack with the slightest touch. This is probably because I have an old oven with very thick oven racks, so it's not a major flaw, but it can be annoying.
Customer Review: Get it right next time Amazon!
Summary: 2 Stars
I just received my item. One reason I purchased it was because Amazon states "dishwasher safe". So it just arrives and the back of the packaging states "do not put into dishwasher". I'm not real happy right now as I actually purchased two to use in my commercial smoker. These will most likely be blackened after the first use. Bottom line is I rated it 2 stars because of Amazon's lack of attention to detail, I actually haven't even opened the packaging yet to be able to rate the product.
