Oven Thermometer 50-300°C/100-600°F, Oven Grill Fry Chef Smoker Analog Thermometer Instant Read Stainless Steel Kitchen Cooking Thermometer

I purchased the Pucula Oven Thermometer (50-300°C/100-600°F) to verify the accuracy of my modern oven's thermostat. While modern ovens are generally reliable, I've always wondered if the indicated preheat temperature truly matched the internal oven temperature, or if there was a slight variance.This analog thermometer has been excellent for providing that insight. I've tested it at various temperatures, including the common 350°F setting, and I've found my oven's thermostat to be quite accurate according to the Pucula thermometer. This is reassuring for consistent baking and roasting.One crucial finding, however, is that while my oven indicates preheating is complete, the Pucula thermometer shows it's beneficial to wait an additional 5 to 10 minutes for the oven to truly stabilize at the target temperature. This extra waiting period ensures a more even heat distribution and prevents temperature fluctuations that could impact sensitive recipes.The thermometer itself is well-built and easy to read. It hangs or stands securely within the oven. For anyone looking to ensure their oven is truly at the temperature they set, or who wants to understand their oven's preheating behavior better, the Pucula Oven Thermometer is a highly recommended and valuable tool. It's a small investment that can significantly improve your cooking and baking results.

I'm giving this a five-star rating because it is very well made but I'm just not sure of the accuracy. I had the temperature set and my toaster oven at 275 but the gauge was reading 300 $300 and stayed that way even when I turned the temperature down to about 225. So either my oven is wonky or the item is wonky. I bought this specifically to keep account of the temperature when baking polymer clay which has to be set at a very specific temperature.

I had to replace my last oven thermometer so ordered this one. I'ts been pretty good, but when I've also used an electric sensor for more critical cooking, I've found this to be a couple degrees off. But it's close enough for most veryday baking.

For some reason, my oven does not give you the actual temp, just the set point. I like that this gives me an idea of where I am on pre-heat and when I put items in if I loose a lot of initial cooking temp. Its been sitting on the "floor" of the oven and has not tipped once.

accurate made well easy to use and seems durable and because i use this in a camper gas oven reading it is easy and the temperature accuracy keeps me form burning my food. Its ideal use is in an oven that has maintaining temperature issues.

I purchased this because my oven quit working. Needed an element. However, this temperature gauge will be handy when I am baking and need to lower the temperature for baking an item with a lower temperature needed.

This thermometer gives quick and accurate readings. I can finally trust my oven’s temperature! Simple to place inside and the numbers are big and clear.

Small, but it works. As you can see in the picture, it is the same size as a snack pack of pudding. The numbers are tinier, so if you have bad eyesight, you may want to look for something a big bigger.
