Middlefield Company Makes Top Thermometer

Cooper-Atkins' dial oven thermometer was named the best thermometer by Cook's Illustrated in 2011.

 

I happened to catch a re-run of Cook's Country recently. If you're not familiar, Cook's Country is a cooking program that airs on PBS. This particular episode revealed the best cooking thermometers as tested by the program's sister-magazine, Cook's Illustrated.

The winner was the Cooper-Atkins Dial Oven Thermometer.

When the host of the program said "Cooper-Atkins," I did a double take. Was he talking about the Cooper-Atkins in Middlefield?

He was!

Who knew?

Okay, maybe someone out there reading this knows that Cooper-Atkins in Middlefield makes high quality oven thermometers, but I sure as heck didn't.

How cool! (Or, is it how hot?)

Well, it's too late to suggest purchasing the thermometer as a Christmas gift but at $6.99 how can you go wrong?

Remember, Cook's Illustrated said the thermometer "remained accurate and easy to read throughout their months of testing. This was the least expensive thermometer, too."
