Customer Reviews of Oxo Good Grips Oven Thermometer
Customer Rating:   Summary: Useless ... Needle sticks Comment: It worked the first time we tried it. Then the second time it was registering 100 degrees when the oven was set to 450. I set the oven to broil to see if that'd make a difference. It didn't. So I tried tapping the glass face and the needle popped up to over 500 degrees. Which the oven might have been, but I couldn't be sure. The time after that it appeared to be stuck again. I tapped it and it jumped up some degrees. I tapped it again and it jumped again. It just isn't reliable and is therefore useless. Customer Rating: Summary: Oxo Good Grips Oven Thermometer Comment: My gas oven (new to me) wasn't getting to the proper temperature so baking was not satisfactory. When I put in the Oxo thermometer and set the oven to heat to 350º, it was only at 200º when the oven signaled that it was up to temperature. When I set the oven timer for 20 minutes, it was up to temperature and baking was then just fine. The thermometer made all the difference in success for me. Customer Rating: Summary: Just ok Comment: It's accurate and clips nicely to the rack, but it's very difficult to read -- even when I placed it with the oven light behind ... The Kitchen Aide oven thermometer is much clearer. Customer Rating: Summary: Registers 100 degrees too high Comment: Since I have many OXO items in my home, I thought that the OXO oven thermometer would also be good. Boy was I wrong! When the oven beeped to say that it had reached its temperature, the thermometer didn't read anywhere near what it should read. It took about 20 minutes for the thermometer to finally read what the oven temp was set at. Then, to make things worse, the OXO thermometer started registering at least 100 degrees above what we set the oven for. I have since bought a cheaper but reliable thermometer name which is registering just fine. In the meantime, I've had to recalibrate my oven several times to make up for the drastic readings the OXO gave me. Sorry I ever bought it to begin with. Customer Rating: Summary: Stays in place well, accurate, but a bit hard to see in a dark oven Comment: Love the base of this thermometer. My old one was always tipping over as I moved things around in my old (circa 1964) oven. This thermometer seems to be dead on accurate, which is what I was primarily interested in. One drawback is that the dial is more transparent than it appears in the photos, and in a dark, unlit oven like mine, it is a bit hard to see when it is in the rear of the oven. More Reviews The large numbers are easy to read, and made even more so by the frosted glass back panel which allows light from the back of your oven to shine through. A clip permits you to hang the gizmo from an oven rack, or if you prefer you can stand it on top, where the clip will hold it securely. 
Choosing Appliance -> Strainers We recommend 2 strainers for every kitchen. The first is a solid stainless steel colander (one big enough to wash a lot of lettuce at once). The second strainer is a fine mesh conical strainer (called a chinois) which is a must for any serious sauce or stock making. A chinois is an expensive purchase, but with care it will last many years. Choosing Appliance -> Built-in Ovens Keen cooks may want to take advantage of multi-function ovens - usually aimed at the top end of the market. As well as traditional cooking, fan or fan-assisted cooking and grilling, these ovens offer up to nine further functions. These include: Top element only (browning), bottom element (final cooking of pastry dishes or pizzas), fan and bottom element (delicate cooking), fan only (thawing). Oxo Good Grips Oven Thermometer
Useful info -> Food Waste Disposers Installing a food waste disposer is an ideal way to let you spend more time doing the things you want to do around the home and less time worrying about what to do with your messy unwanted food waste. With putrescible waste (kitchen food scraps) accounting for 25% of household waste, using a food waste disposer not only means fewer trips to the wheelie bin but also results in a substantial reduction of waste going to landfill. |
