how accurate is the thermometer? I've used one of these types before in my breville and it gave the wrong temperature of the inside of the oven.

My experience has been that it was my oven that was wrong, not the thermometer! My food came out much better and the way it was supposed to when I followed this thermometer rather than the temperature reading on my oven's display!!! Hope that answer helps... good luck!

I dont keep a thermometor for the hot side, just the cool side. I find the readings in this device accurate enough.Sorry for the late response!

if i remember this oven is digital...the lower numbers are the celsius. So if you are looking at the recipes some are written in celscius instead of farenheight. if its a lower than normal number odds are its in celcius. There should be a conversion table in most cookbooks,etc. Its about a 40% difference. Some oven have dials on them w/ on celicus on them. on this one it only goes up to 260 degrees on the digital moniter which is about equal to 450 degrees. Try to find a conversion table.

Turn the temp down. We've had this unit for about three months now, and, haven't seen a reason (after burning our 2nd pizza) to turn the temp dial past 2. Hope this helps.

The ambient temperature on mine appears to be accurate. It does short cycle like others have mentioned.

It seems to be fairly accurate but would say it is probably within a few degrees of exact temperature. If exact temps are critical for your use, I would look for a product that guarantees accuracy.

I have the dial model and the temperature on it is totally accurate. I tested it with a proper thermometer. It is excellent

Yes, I have a thermometer and my temp was always 180, then cooled to 110 before adding yogurt starter. The problem was not me - I tried 4 times - but the base DOES NOT maintain the proper temperature. I wish it did as I like the design of this product. Sadly, they have not worked out the kinks.

I never have that problem but what I can recommend is that you buy an oven thermometer because I didn't know it but my new oven was running 50 degrees hot. Sounds like you have that kind of problem. Just because your oven says it's 350, doesn't mean it's true! Good luck!

I don't think so. Are you sure that your oven heats up to the temperature that you want? Many ovens are over/under by 25 or more degrees, compared to the settings chosen. Check online for ways to determine the accuracy of your oven.

heat your oven to temp. and once it has reached the temp. quickly open the door and shoot the side of the oven wall and it will give you a reading. close the door give it a few minutes to heat back up and then shoot the outside window and compare the two readings...you may need to replace your heating element in the stove and it is not that hard to do. The unite that I bought has been very accurate.

I would guess not because new ovens like mine has digital electronic processing. This sensor output is calibrated to send a temperature signal that the electronics understand. Your old oven probably does not have the same electronic processing and therefore would not read the temperature properly. Again this is my opinion, I could be wrong.

As others have said, you can probably use the metal-corded probe to measure oven temp if it's not touching metal. It doesn't do it concurrently as my old Polder did, however.

This is not the type of thermometer that you leave in the oven with what ever your baking. With this type you have to open the oven once in a while and stick the probe in meatiest part to get the correct temp. After you get a reading you pull it out, turn it off and clean the metal probe, put it back in its sleeve and wait to use it again.

We use an instant thermometer with no problem. It is not an oven as it has no insulation. I would not think an oven thermometer would be desirable because what you really need to know is the temperature of the food you are cooking rather than the temperature of the surrounding space. In an oven food starts to cook at about 180F and the length of time it takes to cook is very dependent on the amount of liquid the food contains.

I have used my 732 in oven. found out oven was running higher temperature. Sure helped with baking.

It has a small round oven thermometer in the upper right corner of the enclosed oven. It works very well, sometimes it's a little foggy due to condensed steam on the overlying window but I like it. I suppose it's possible that it reads a bit hotter than the lower parts of the oven, especially before the whole oven has heated up.
