Product Description

Amazon.com

Tired of finding frozen lettuce in your fridge or ice cream that is too hard to scoop? To ensure food is stored at ideal and safe temperatures, this thermometer measures the precise internal temperature of freezers and refrigerators. Housed in a durable plastic casing, the 4-3/4-by-1-1/4-inch thermometer features a red, non-mercuric column inside industrial-grade glass. Two stainless-steel clips keep it securely fastened to a shelf. Temperatures read horizontally, in a dual scale range of -40 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit (-40 to 27 degrees Celsius). Zones are marked for recommended storage temperatures: a freezer should be set ideally between 0 and -10 degrees Fahrenheit (-17 and -23 degrees Celsius), while a refrigerator should be kept between 34 to 40 (1 to 4.4 degrees Celsius). Colder than that causes lettuce to freeze; warmer and foods spoil too quickly. Certified by the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF), this thermometer has been manufactured to high commercial standards. CDN covers this professional thermometer with a five-year warranty against defects.--Ann Bieri

5.0 out of 5 stars great and reliable November 28, 2006
By Bolder
I used to work in the food service industry and That's all we used. It gives you the accurate measurements, and one cannot do without it at home. It is very important to know the temperature in your freezer or fridge, unless you want to have stomach problems.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works and is very accurate November 5, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase
This unit is far more accurate than the ones that rely on the metal coil in the back of the unit. I have tried both and have gone back to nothing but the glass tube kind like this.

Easy to read face with prominent lines and numbers. The metal feet on the back allow you to hang it from the rack or tray, but when hanging from the metal wire the face points downward (due to gravity) and makes it hard to read. So we just set it on the shelf and works just fine.

I recommend keeping this away from the door seals, for that area is not the temp of the fridge. Place it dead center in the fridge or in the place of the fridge where there are items you really care about.

5.0 out of 5 stars Almost Perfect March 12, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase
For what it does, this product is almost perfect. As the product description and other reviews have noted, it is an easy-to-read, oil-(not mercury)filled refrigerator/freezer thermometer. In addition to having large numbers, the refrigerator and freezer "zones" are clearly identified, and the temperature scales are provided in Fahrenheit and Celsius. It would be perfect if it had a better method of attachment. However, while the metal "clips" are not ideal for my refrigerator/freezer, I can't really suggest a "universal" improvement that would work for everybody. So I'll just give it 5 stars for functionality, quality of construction, and value - and leave it at that. BUY IT. From my research, it appears to be the best product of its kind on the market.

4.0 out of 5 stars small and accurate August 7, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought the thermometer to make sure that my new side by side fridge showed the correct temperature on the readout on the outside of the freezer door. The new appliances don't have wire shelves so this item can sit on the shatterproof glass shelves. I found it to be very accurate and move it from the freezer to the fresh food area to check on the temps when I add items to either side. I would rate is 5 stars if it was larger and could read it without removing it from the appliance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Peace of Mind January 6, 2007
By EMB
We bought this thermometer as our refrigerator had a problem with keeping cold and we had multiple repairs over several months. We wanted to be able to tell if the interior of the refrigerator was getting warmer or maintaining temperature. The thermometer can be mounted in several ways inside the refrigerator and gives the actual temperature inside. It is easy to read. We are now able to tell not only if the refrigerator is slowly warming up - we can see the exact temperature. We are very happy with the thermometer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple, inexpensive, and works well February 3, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase
This is the food industry's standard refrigerator and freezer thermometer. It's a good piece of equipment for not very much money. Keep track of your fridge and freezer temperatures during the course of the year. Many freezers are set a bit too warm.

3.0 out of 5 stars Works great but September 23, 2012
By L. Prow
Amazon Verified Purchase
This thermometer seems to work well, although I don't have a second one to text the temperature against. The biggest thing is the clips are so narrow you can't clip it on things well. I should have looked more closely and bought one with a suction cup to stick on the wall. However, there are two options that I used that may work for you.

1. Place the thermometer flat on a shelf, like the bottom shelf.
2. Place the thermometer inside the middle drawer.

I have mine in a drawer right now, since the drawer is clear I can look at it when I open the door.

In short, the thermometer itself seems to work fine. The issue is the execution of how it attaches.
