(Kitchen) This is a great thermometer. It responds VERY quickly, 1-2 seconds, and is invaluable! It comes with a handly case that I hang from a hook on the fridge. It is always handy and gives very quick, accurate results. The sensor is in the very tip, so it measures the temp where you stick it and if you are measuring the temp of a liquid, it does not need to be inordinately deep. Some thermometers are not happy unless half of their probe is covered. The Thermapen is supposed to be a bit faster, but it costs 4 times more. For the price, this one cannot be beat.

The trouble is a basic design flaw that should result in an engineer's head getting mounted on a stake: It is virtually impossible to change the battery without destroying the unit. Go back and read that again, and decide for yourself if this is a good value. Now, you're probably thinking, "oh, this is some old guy who can't thread a needle or find the glasses on top of his head." Well, I've soldered circuits more complex than this thermometer, and I've worked as a mechanic. And while I may not be MacGyver himself, replacing button batteries has never felt like defusing a bomb. Until now. The battery door is designed with a silicone gasket, to keep the thing waterproof. The gasket will pop out when you open the battery compartment. I challenge...

(Kitchen) This thermometer is very very very accurate, compact, easy to use. My unit arrived with a weak battery, perhaps the unit was sitting on Amazon's warehouse too long. I called CDN 800 number and they are sending me a replacement without question! Rose Levy Beranbaum recommends this themometer. |
