## Description

Product Description The Taylor Classic Instant Read Pocket Thermometer provides accurate measurements for professional and amateur chefs. This professional-grade thermometer provides an instant read on internal meat temperatures from 0- to 220-degrees Fahrenheit. Stainless steel construction is light, tough and shock-resistant. The thermometer features black graphics on a white background for easy, at-a-glance measurements. A durable plastic sleeve serves as a holder and recalibration tool. This thermometer is NSF approved. desertcart.com Swift and subtle, the Taylor 5989N instant read thermometer is the fastest and most space-efficient way to take the temperature of your foodstuffs. With a slight 1” dial that displays temperatures from 0-220° F, you can rest assured that no matter the constraint, there will always be room for this helpful tool. Its shatterproof lens prevents all manner of kitchen disasters, doing its part to make your kitchen a worry-free workplace. For the protection of both your thermometer and your health, the 5989N comes with a dual purpose antimicrobial pocket case and holder. The case can also be used as a wrench for fine-tuning the calibration of your device. Despite its small footprint, its 5” stainless steel stem ensures that this thermometer can handle even the toughest of tests. Do not leave in oven or grill or damage will result.

Review: Great thermometer - For $4-5 this is very efficient and functional equipment. It's "instant read" because the dial is constantly adjusting to the temperature based on the metal inside the stem. So if you place it in boiling water it will take about 10 seconds for the metal in the stem to expand and accurately display the temperature of its surroundings. When I received it the gauge was off by a couple degrees, which is no big deal because I just placed it in the plastic holder it comes in and let it sit in boiling water until the gauge was steady and adjusted it according to the instructions (which is very easy - just twist the dial) to 212 degrees. Now it works very accurately, you can always test it by setting it in ice water or boiling water. I've only had it for a few days so I will update if anything happens. I only use this for measuring water temperatures - and for that it is definitely worth it over the more expensive thermometers! If you are planning to use this for measuring your meat temperatures I would suggest going for a digital read where the measuring part of the instrument is only in the tip. There is a dimple 2" from the tip where the thermometer must be submerged into whatever to give you the proper temperature so you could insert it into the side of a thin cut of meat and it should work properly.
Review: Don't put in oven while baking roasting etc. - Don't put in oven while like I did! It is accurate and got it to replace my first one. Well made and no need to callebrate.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to use, functional and efficient
*by A***O on May 20, 2019*

I had this running joke with fiance. Every morning I make him coffee and breakfast before we head to work. He ALWAYS takes his cup of coffee and states it's too hot and then forgets about it but when he remembers, always acts very nice and says it was great coffee, however, I know he is just being sweet when he really should just go heat that cup up. I got this more as a joke-gift, and honestly was unsure if the device would work. When the product arrived, I read over the directions and everything was pretty self-explanatory. I tested it out with his morning cup of coffee to see how hot it was, then handed it to him, I made sure to keep an eye on the cup of coffee and then when he finally went to drink it, I made a joke and pulled out the thermometer, it was down to 75 degrees and we ended up cracking up on how many cold "amazing" cups of coffee he drank. Long story short, this little joke gift worked perfectly and honestly I think this is a very useful item to have in the house. And hopefully for me it will help me get closer to getting my fiance the perfect tempature cup of coffee. :)
