CDN DOT2 ProAccurate Oven Thermometer, The Best Oven Thermometer for Instant Read in Food Cooking. Stainless Steel For Monitoring Oven Temperatures. Large Dial. NSF Certified.

Very accurate.

Already tested the accuracy and ease of use. Prefect, simple and easy. Highly recommend this product.

Many reviewers order this CDN DOT2 oven thermometer because of its top-rating by America's Test Kitchen TV show -- which you can view on Youtube if you search for it. (I recommend viewing it.) Nobody except organizations such as ATK or Consumer's Report has the time, money, and resources to test multiple samples and multiple brands of products. So, for an oven thermometer, I defer to their test results. This one was top-rated for accuracy, ease of reading, etc.On Amazon, there are at least two listings for the CDN DOT2 oven thermometer. Apparently, DOT2 is the model name -- something that is not identified as such in the listings. One listing sells the DOT2 at about $8.04 and has the model pictured exactly as it is shown in the America's Test Kitchen video. The other listing on Amazon sells the DOT2 at about $10. The photo of the thermometer in that listing shows a thermometer that has a slightly different face vs the one in the Test Kitchen video.I ordered the less-expensive $8.04 version -- the one that looks exactly like the one in the Test Kitchen video. But what I received was the one that is shown in the OTHER Amazon listing -- the one that lists it at $10. I attempted several times to contact the seller that I ordered from on Amazon (Levitto), but got no response. There are several sellers for each listing, and Amazon somehow picks Sellers to be the primary seller when you order the product. Amazon picked Levitto for me. But, you can see that there are several other vendors listed that might be the one that sells it to you.I contacted CDN (the manufacturer of the oven thermometer) via their website -- to ask what the difference was between the two versions on Amazon. CDN simply responded that they have had some model changes to the DOT2 thermometer. So, they are saying that DOT2 is the model number, and there may be several versions out there. So, I guess that clarifies things. The people that are buying the $10 version are getting the exact same thing as the people buying the $8 version. The current version seems to differ slightly from the one shown on America's Test Kitchen.As far as the function of the thermometer: I have no idea if it is accurate. But my thermometer reads 325 degrees when the oven is set at 350. So, apparently (if I am to believe the thermometer) my oven runs 25 degrees too low. So, now I take this into account when setting the oven temperature, and set it at 375 if I want it to really be 350 degrees. The thermometer easily hangs on the wire shelf in the oven and easily rests on its base when set onto the wire shelf. The dial is easy enough to read. As recommended by America's Test Kitchen, it is not necessary to keep the oven thermometer in the oven while baking. This will only serve to discolor it. It is only required to be in the oven when periodically verifying your oven's thermostat settings as running X degrees too low or X degrees too high.

After America's Test Kitchen episode recommended this thermometer, I purchased it. After several days of multiple testing, I'm pleased with the consistency and accuracy of it.

Thermometer accurate and arrived when expected.

Was very happy at first. Easier to read than the last one of same name (purchased many years ago, still works but slow to come to temp, and hard to read dial). It accidentally got knocked from the kitchen countertop and fell on the floor. Temp needle now no longer moves AT ALL. Piece of junk. Threw in the trash and will not buy again.

We have a new electric double oven and purchased this model based on reviews of America's Test Kitchen. Set each oven to 350 and placed the thermometer in the oven. Each time I looked at the thermometer it read 350 on the nose. I used an infrared point and shoot thermometer and it would read between 329 and 360 which I am presuming is due to the oven cycling on and off to maintain the set temp. Overall happy with the oven and the thermometer.

Good
