Product Description

Amazon.com Review

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

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 Almost Perfect, March 12, 2010

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.

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.
