CDN Oven Thermometer ProAccurate®, Easy-to-Read 2"" Dial, Stainless Steel Housing, Temperature Zones, Stand or Hang, Monitor Oven Temperatures, NSF Certified - DOT2

This is a great little thermometer, wide enough on the base that it doesn't fall through the grates, and you can hang out as well. It let me know that my oven runs about 15° cooler than the thermostat states. This is very helpful information. It is easy enough to read, though I still need to bend way down to look straight on at it. If there were a way they could design the dial to be read from a standing position it would be very helpful. The problem is the frame of the thermostat blocks and shades the reading of all the numbers at the top. Fixing this design issue would make it darn near perfect.

Had this about a year or more. Its still working well and keeps perfect temp with my oven setting

I purchased this thermometer with another brand and they both matched each other exactly. I find all the thermometers difficult to read if placed in the middle of the oven. I would not have a problem with a larger face. The biggest drawback is that the darn thing, like most thermometers, falls down easily. If left on the metal/wire rack on it's platform it is easily knocked over as the face seems to weigh as much or more than the base. OK, use the notch at the top to hook on to the metal/wire rack and it dangles because the notch is too shallow to firmly anchor on one of the metal bars. The slightest movement and it pops from the notch and slides down the rest of the hanger, often falling off. Also, once it starts to turn after popping off the rack, it is difficult to read. Anyway, I use them to test the oven. Learned my oven's thermometer is consistently inaccurate. So, I place the two thermometers in the oven to confirm when the temperature is accurate for more than 10 minutes and remove them, place the item in the oven. Not going to ask for a service call. Too $$.

Easy to read, accurate and quick to respond to oven temperatures. Large dial with ranges makes it easy to see the temperature.

I've cross referenced this with a grill thermometer and it appears to be accurate. The only problem I have had is knocking it off the oven shelf when putting in a pan. However, it was not damaged. So far, a useful item for the kitchen.

I have had my CDN thermometer for quite a few years now and only just discovered a trove of products I haven't given a review on. I think that's a good thing as I have had plenty time with the product to now give my long-term thoughts.Let me start by saying that the accuracy of the thermometer is just fine. That's super important because it is clearly the most important reason you are buying this device. So, I don't feel that its accuracy is something that needs to be improved upon. What I do dislike about it was that there is just no good place to put it. The little hanging tab doesn't seem to work for my oven as it hangs in a way that it puts the thermometer right in the way of your incoming oven item (maybe you can see where my grates can sit from my image below). And when you sit it on the grates, it often times falls through. This drives me crazy because usually it will fall once everything is ripping hot, so you're in there, with this heat blasting at your face and your fireproof gauntlet gloves trying to fish this thing out while not trying to get an immediate 3rd degree burn on your arms. Also, if you put in a large casserole dish, or something that fills the oven, and your thermometer is sitting on the grates, the only place to put it is in the far back corner. And what good is that? The temperature there is clearly very different than in the middle of the oven, where things are cooking. So, finding a spot is tricky for me.Then, after a year or so, it started getting that sticky brown baked on lacquer that Pyrex and other dishes get when in high baking heat. I'm a vegetarian so it's not like I had bacon on a sheet, popping fatty oil all over the place or something. I have no idea how the brown lacquer developed but try as I might, it does not come off with normal cleansers.Overall, I suppose it works though it's not great for my situation.

I've had this oven thermometer since January of '24 and it is now August. It's reliable, well-made, and easy to move from place to place in the oven. I bought a home with a European oven (AEG) so the dials are set of Celsius not Fahrenheit and while I'm pretty good at doing the conversion in my head this little beauty has been a big help. I can recommend it.

We purchased this based on a review on America's Test Kitchen. I'm not a huge fan of the show but occasionally something will catch my eye, especially when they review gadgets. Thousands of tests in various conditions and a history of years in evaluating kitchen products should mean something, right? I'll never be able to do that nor will most people so that's a lot of knowledge available in only a few minutes of viewing time on a show. We were anxious to use this for holiday dinners as we had never really checked our oven's temperature that closely and wanted to evaluate the accuracy of its sensor.Once we received it, we tried it with a pork roast cooking. Once the heat and the cooking were well under way, the DOT2 indicated the oven was reporting its temperature at least 50°F too high! Wow, this thing was really helpful. However we pulled out two other thermometers we've used in the past to test the DOT2 itself. Once we gave everything time to get stable, it turned out these two matched the oven within a couple of degrees and it was the DOT2 that was wrong. Consistently wrong. We tried it a couple of other times and each time it simply was off way too far from the other two thermometers and the oven where all of those matched up extremely well.The short of it is, although the DOT2 looks nice and does have a very stable base, the accuracy was terrible. A warning to anyone who, like other reviews I've seen here, is experiencing questionable readings with this thing and especially those who are contemplating purchasing it.Don't.
