Customer Reviews of CDN DTTC Digital Thermometer, Timer & Clock
Customer Rating:   Summary: Unbelievably difficult to set Comment: I'm a very tech oriented guy. I usually can easily set the digital readouts on any machine. When I see a blinking 12:00 at a friend's house, I offer to set it for them and have never been unsuccessful in setting any readout without the instructions. This thing is very hard to remember how to set the time and temperatures that you want the alert to sound at. How to set it is simply not clear at all. I even found the instructions on line and I STILL don't understand. I found the instructions on line http://www.cdn-timeandtemp.com/pdf/products/DTTCen.pdf but it hasn't helped me understand how to get what I want. I wish it just said "temp to beep at" and let me set that. This upper/lower business doesn't make sense to me. Maybe it will eventually sink in. It does still read the temperatures very well. So I use it to calibrate my oven every time I bake. I can watch it to make sure it's done preheating before I put my baked goods in. I haven't had the problem with the magnets falling off. My fridge is next to the oven so I often put it on fridge instead of the oven, especially if using the stove at the same time. I think the magnets are likely to fall off if it gets too warm. It would probably melt the insides and cause it to malfunction if you let it get too warm also. If your stove top stays cool while baking, you can lay it flat on the stove top, so gravity isn't pulling on the magnets if it gets warm. The digital read out part folds up so you can see it from the front, when it's laying flat. I really hate that it only reads up to 392 F. I have many times where I want to heat the oven to 425 or 450 and it simply doesn't read that high. I also use it when cooling down sorbet or ice cream custard before I freeze it. Just drop the probe in it and close the fridge on the cable. Keep the read out on the front of the fridge and you will be able to see when it's cool enough transfer to your ice cream freezer. It takes much longer than you'd expect to cool down a liquid. It should also go below 14 f to check freezer temps. It works ok, but there are probably better ones with an easier user interface. Customer Rating: Summary: Good for a while... Comment: ...but died after a few months. Be careful about getting the probe wet, it will cause the rest to malfunction. Customer Rating: Summary: Don't waste your time Comment: Good idea bad product. Worked great 2 weeks. Magnets fell off end of week 2. Probe quit week 3. Costs more to return for repair than it is worth. Customer Rating: Summary: Not a quality product Comment: This thermometer is very cheaply made. It feels flimsy and the magnets on the back won't hold it secure on a metal surface. More Reviews CDN DTTC-W digital probe thermometer, white.

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 -> Do I need a dishwasher? If you enjoy washing by hand, no! However modern machines use less water, detergent and power than ever before and wash hotter using really powerful cleaners giving a hygienic wash result. You can save around 500 hours a year so it is worth thinking about. If you have a small kitchen or live alone, choose a slimline model. CDN DTTC Digital Thermometer, Timer & Clock
