The thermometer can sit on an oven rack or hang from its edge, depending on your needs, and the large numbers on the dial are easy to read from a distance. The package includes a chart of temperatures and cooking times for various foods that you can tuck into a drawer for easy reference.

Functional but slow December 28, 2008
William England (Overland Park, KS United States)
It does work - it will eventually indicate the temp of your oven. But in my case it takes some 20 minutes for it to stabilize at the temperature. I tested against several other thermocouples.

Useful to check if your oven dial is correct, but that's about it.

Worth the $5 I paid.

Works as expected November 29, 2008
M. Santos (Valley Center, CA United States)
I didn't think my oven temperature adjustment was working so I bought this to test it. It proved my oven only had one setting "burn". I can't comment on how accurate the thermometer is but it did everything I was expecting it to.

This came with the paper (?) inside the thermometer with all the numbers not properly aligned, i.e. it was crooked.

I threw the thermometer away when I couldn't figure out how to align it. Come on Polder you can do better.

Made in China? Run. July 5, 2007

Given that I was in the market for a new oven thermometer, and given that the reviews of most of the available thermometers were less than encouraging, I decided to buy both a Polder and an MIU and test them against a Taylor mercury thermometer.

Right off the bat, the MIU was off by 25 degrees. The Polder was dead on. However, within one day, the Polder was off by 40 degrees. But since they were so cheap, they're not worth returning.

Moral? Save your money and buy a mercury oven thermometer on eBay. They generally go for less than ten dollars and there's no guesswork involved as to their accuracy.
