Customer Reviews of Taylor Oven Guide Thermometer
Customer Rating:   Summary: Waste of time and money Comment: I bought this product because it was reviewed by a test kitchen and they said it was the best. I saw some of the reviews about the problem with the paint coming off and felt that it was just sore grapes from people that did not like the test kitchen. Well, it was not sore grapes. I used this thing once. Went to clean it and ALL the numbers rubed off. What a piece of junk! Customer Rating: Summary: Great until the first washing. Comment: This is a decent thermometer, until it is washed. The first time I washed it all the numbers, letters, and lines came off. I do agree with everyone that it was hard to read, but it does measure very well. c Customer Rating: Summary: A little hard to read Comment: I've read reviews outside of Amazon as to it's accuracy and I'm basing the four stars on that. It's stays pretty much out the way, as you can set it on the rack or hang it. It is a little hard to read, as you have to be at the correct angle to view it. Like an old fashion glass thermometer to check your body temperature. Customer Rating: Summary: Save Your Money Comment: When the thermometer arrived, the glass tube slid freely in the metal frame, making calibration useless. Amazon's supplier said they'd replace it, and since it was fairly inexpensive, don't bother returning it. I threw it away. The replacement arrived and was much better, and quite accurate, but within 2-3 months in the oven the metal darkened so much (not spattered food, just dark metal), that the black numbers became almost impossible to read - and invisible through the oven door. I don't really use the oven that much, especially in the summer - which is now. Maybe once a week, and I'm not making pizza at 550 F, and it's not a self-cleaning oven either. Then I get a message from Amazon that since they never got a return of the first one they would now charge me for the second. Deep sigh - it's only $12, I tell myself, WTF. Then today, I pick the thermometer up (the only way to read it) with gloves, from my preheated oven and the fluid that is supposed to indicate the temperature is spread throughout the tube like a freakin' bar code. Totally useless, and it won't shake down like a fever thermometer. Second one in the trash. I will NOT buy a third. Customer Rating: Summary: Oven Thermometers are extremely Important Comment: Very few ovens temperatures are correct. I keep two different brands of thermometer in my oven.The one highly recommended by Cook's Illustrated it the Taylor Oven Guide Thermometer. I also keep a few extra to give as small tokens to my wonderful friends. More Reviews Large face with easy-to-read zone guide references. Range 100°F to 550°F.

Choosing Appliance -> Cutting boards There seems to be little difference between hard wood and plastic cutting boards from a safety standpoint, as long as they are properly washed and sanitized after each use. Personally, I like the feel of solid wood. One piece of advice--buy large cutting boards. Don't bother with these tiny boards that everyone seems to have in his or her kitchen. They are not user friendly. Once you get down to serious cutting or chopping, the small boards are always woefully inadequate and downright maddening! 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. Taylor Oven Guide Thermometer
