Handy, BIG numbers
Stanley P. Miller✓ Verified Purchase•April 19, 2017
I'm very happy with this, BIG numbers, no need for reading glasses to see this one! Fast reading, easy change 2032 battery that should last a long time. Matches our other thermometers and 0, 32 and 212 degree F checks were all very close.

Great Thermometer for Low 'n' Slow BBQ, Only Complaints are Nitpicky. Solid 4.5-4.75 Stars.
Ol Traish Possum✓ Verified Purchase•August 8, 2016
Great thermometer for the price. Never used a Thermapen, so I can't compare the two, but this thermometer seems very fast and accurate. Bounced between 32.0° and 32.1° in ice water, and 208.0° to 208.1° for boiling water. Took about 2 seconds for the cold, and 3-4 seconds for the hot measurement to steady. I live at 1,300 ft above sea level, and according to online charts water boils at 210.9° @ 1,000 ft., and 209.7 @ 2,000 ft., which puts my boiling point around 210°- not bad to only be off by 2°. I bought this mainly for smoked meats, so I'm looking right around the 200° mark anyway. I'll just remember that it's a couple degrees shy on the high end, and save my $75 on the Thermapen. The magnet on the back works just fine, I keep this on the fridge in my garage, but it could be stronger (I like magnetic items to really "thump" against the surface when they stick). If it had a stronger magnet and was more accurate I'd have rated it 5 stars- I wish I could rate it 4.5. Some folks in the BBQ world have voiced concern over the short probe length, but it isn't an issue for me- when you're cooking a 10+ lb. butt or brisket @ 250°-275° over 15 hours or so, there is not much difference in temp between 2.5" and 4" beneath the surface. I'm not measuring a steak cooked at high temp where there is a huge difference.
Great product and phenomenal company...accurate readings, no more messing up my steaks/fish with "check see if done" slash marks

All chefs say this is the "go to" must have product...and they are correct! I love this meat thermometer...no more guessing or cutting into and ruining steaks or seafood and having juices flow out to see if they are cooked properly! Should have picked this up years ago...Immediate and accurate temperature reading..convenient to use..I like the fold away prong feature, won't get broken or mangled in the drawer...great value, received very quickly...this company is very communicative, received a "welcome" letter and invitation to call any issues to their attention ...which, btw there were not. Very pleased and impressed with the thermometer and the company's customer service! Buy with confidence! Great product and phenomenal company...A breeze to use and food is perfectly cooked EVERYTIME! Ok, I waited way too long to pick this up! Thank you!
Works as claimed. Good customer service under warranty.

Performs as stated, but the collar which houses the probe broke after only 18 months. I sent a note to the maker with a pic of the damage... they send a replacement right away and didn't require I return the broken one. They even included a spare battery!
The new unit is made of different plastic than the first one, so hopefully the collar is more durable now.
A+ for the quick customer service!

Usually accurate. The magnet is really convenient

I've been trying to get into the habit of measuring the temperature of meat rather than cutting it open to see if its done. Kind of an obvious thing to do but until recently I hadn't cooked a whole lot of meat and I tended to overcook it when I did. I've also been cooking with cast iron more often so I needed a thermometer that would read the temperature fairly quickly.
I like that this has a magnet on the back so it's easy to find. I wish it had a list of correct temperatures for meat printed on the back. I have a thermometer that has that and it's very convenient - although I keep a chart with those temps on my fridge too.
I also like that it folds up. Although sometimes I forget to close it so it stays on for a while. I usually just clean the probe with a clorax or alcohol wipe, then wipe it with a damn cloth, and hang it back on the fridge.
I'm not sure if its completely accurate though. Sometimes it reads a lot cooler than my other meat thermometer reads. I still generally rely on this one since it's much easier to get to since its hung on the fridge.
