If you're reading this chances are like me you love to cook. my Grandmother and Mother were sesnational cooks and I grew up spending many aftenoons enjoying watching dishes being prepared and served. I learned the importance of using the best ingreidants you could find, a good chefs knife and good pots - and of course the right themperture. Rasing the oven from 325 to 475 does not and never will make your dish cook faster.This of course was demonstrated many times by the Three Stooges who never seemed quite to grasp the concept.Anyway our ancient delapitated nuclear reactor of an oven finally drew it's last breath and we bought a new stove. I know they used to calibrate the stoves some time ago - so I ordered this this little gem and was very pleased to see the temp was perfect at 300, 325, 350, 400 and so on. It can sit stable on the rack or hang from one higher up. It's easy to read and ea lot to store. You can pay a lot for an oven thermometer but why when this one by Admetior has a wonderful reto look and only costs a few dollars.Plus with my Prime membership the entire order shipped wwith Free second day shipping to boot. Making this buy that much sweeter
