- Looked for Meat Thermometer, The first results "Made in China," which tracked, they were made in China. Related products that ARE made in America, "Stainless Steel Frying Pan set" ??? Um ok. Next American looking one. 90% Match in America!!! Weird, I thought this one was made in China. (Scroll down to country of origin on Amazon) CHINA. Try to report to the app that the country of Origin is incorrect "Network Error." Uninstalled.
