Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Sturdily made of commercial-quality stainless steel, this Pyrex Accessories Professional series oven thermometer measures oven temperatures up to 600 degrees F. With a wide bottom, it sits anywhere in the oven, or you can use the handy loop on top to hang it from your oven rack. The dial has large, easy-to-read numbers in 50-degree increments from 100 to 600 degrees. This thermometer works in both conventional or convection ovens, has a lifetime warranty, and must be hand washed. --Doree Armstrong

This review is from: Pyrex Oven Thermometer (Kitchen)

Sure, it looks nice -- polished chrome housing, easy-to-read white-on-black numbers, and it has enough heft in-hand to make it feel like a quality instrument. In terms of design, the needle's a little too fat and there are no incremental markings for precise readings. However, the fatal flaw appears to be reliability.

I hung the thermometer in my oven, whereupon first use, it proclaimed that my oven's thermostat was 50 degrees too cool. The second time, 25 degrees hot. The third time, it was right on the nose. The fourth time, the needle never budged off its resting point. And there it has stayed since removed from my oven.

Next time I'll choose more carefully rather than rely on brand name. Corning would do well to revoke the Pyrex-brand license from the manufacturer of this thermometer.

I bought this on 12/29/02 and had it for a little over 1 month and it is already broken. The needle is stuck on 550 degrees. Very disappointed. I expected better quality from Pyrex.

1.0 out of 5 stars Waste of Money, November 27, 2002

This review is from: Pyrex Oven Thermometer (Kitchen)

This thermometer quit after about three months. It always 350 whether it is in the oven or sitting on the kitchen counter. I wrote to Pyrex about it, and they said that they did not make oven thermometers. I looked at the back of the thermometer and it is made by a knife company. Pyrex must only make the glass for the window. So now I am out my purchase price.
