My years old Taylor hanging oven thermometer went bad after I sprayed it with EZ OFF oven spray to clean off all the built up gunk.
Anyways, I recently bought a replacement generic brand hanging oven thermometer but wish I had bought two in order to see if one was faulty. My years old Taylor brand read the oven temp at what I set the oven to. This new thermometer reads as much as 15 degrees higher than the oven set temp.
My recent owner bought this oven which is a GE low cost Home Depot buy. Man, this oven alerts you the temp has been reached when it's nowhere near the temp you set it for. You can adjust the oven's digital controls to try and correct that, but then the oven settles in at too hot or cold a temp. I can deal with the cheap oven. I'll buy another oven thermometer to check it against the one I have. In fact, that's what I'll do from now on whenever I buy an oven thermometer. Come to think of it, I should actually buy three of them in order to find the two that are closest to each other in temp reading. Return the other two.
