Review on 🌡️ AcuRite 00620A2 Silver Stainless Steel Oven Thermometer by Melissa Perez

My wife has been baking more the past few months. She had to increase the baking time of many things she baked. We thought our 20 year old oven wasn't heating up to the right temperature. I bought this oven thermometer to test this. I set the oven to 400*F and waited for the oven to beep to let me know the oven was at the right temperature. When the notification sounded, the temperature on the Acurite thermometer was only 300* f. Wait 5 or 6 minutes and it goes up to 350*. A good 10 or 12 minutes after the beep, the oven thermometer finally read 400*f. We learned why the banana bread was burnt on the outside and crumbly in the middle, and why everything just wasn't ready by the allotted time. We started with an oven that was NOT preheated. 🤦🏻‍♂️
