Digital Instant Read Meat Thermometer Kitchen Cooking Food Candy Thermometer for Oil Deep Fry BBQ Grill Smoker Thermometer by AikTryee

Great thermometer that works like a charm. Easy to use and read. Would buy again.

These thermometers register very quickly and accurately. We are really hard on food thermometers. We raise goats and always have at least a couple bottle babies. One memorable spring there were eight at the same time. We had bottles in pans of water on all four stove burners at once, with a thermometer standing in each bottle for the entire heating time and doing double duty as a stirrer. Other thermometers do not hold up to the constant steam, but these just keep going. They have also survived being dropped into dishwater and pans of boiling water for sterilizing equipment. As long as we immediately removed the battery and let the insides dry out, they were fine. The only one we managed to destroy somehow got dumped into a compost pile, where it remained for an entire subzero Vermont winter. That one was rusted inside when we unearthed it in the spring...

It's an alright thermometer. I am a little concerned if this truly can do candy, as the temps go much higher for candy than for meat, and the build quality of this item is a little concerning, seeing as how the tip is plastic. But for meat, it works fine. It also is better for sauces and whatnot, because the bottom isn't sharp, it's rounded, so it isn't going to insert into anything like a steak easily. But it comes with two batteries, so it will last quite a while. Seems accurate, but I wouldn't know since I don't have any other ways to test the temps.

Fast shipping nothing was damaged neatly packed woros great thanks

This was so easy to use. The temperature was accurate in F, I dont know C but when I converted it online that was right on. It measured the temperature with speed, only took about 30 seconds. I would buy again, especially because it was so cheap

Sat in my drawer until I really needed it. Wow, should have sent it back. Turns on, gives out a digital display that makes NO SENSE and did NOT come with any kind of direction? USELESS.

Overall, this is working fine for us now but it is not an instant read like the title claims. Its takes a while for it to read the temperature. The only reason I went with this model over the bending ones is because we recent had a bending one and after lots of use in the past year it broke off of the metal piece so I thought well this one doesn't bend so it should be better. I wanted something to read the temperature right away not let it cool and then take the temperature. Spend a few more dollars on a different brand, you'll be happier with that! Otherwise the product works fine.

What I like most about this reader is that you can tell when it's running to catch up with the current temp (it jumps numbers by a lot) and when it's just following the temperature as it does progressional changes (so, more like a side-by-side pace). When I notice it's only jumping by 1-2 degrees, at that point either it's ready (if it reached the temp you wanted) or you get a ballpark idea of how much more time it needs.While I'd wish it had a way of staying still by itself (while it catches up, depending on what you're cooking, it may take a bit) but that's a minimal aspect of it and mainly a wish from someone who likes to keep moving when in the kitchen. I often worry the top of it is a little too heavy for it to actually stand so I try not to tempt gravity with that.All-in-all, it's good for its intended use.
