All-In-One Instant Read Digital Meat Cooking Thermometer for Oven, Grill and BBQ, with Timer and Stainless Steel Probe, Silver

About 6 month ago I bought an Alpha Grillers Instant Read Thermometer. After using it 3 times it no longer functioned. It simply wouldn't register temperatures. It had a digital readout displayed but wouldn't register a temperature. I removed the battery, turned it on/off etc. Nope! It was dead. I trashed it and bought this unit. I have only used it maybe 5 times and it measures much, much faster than the Alpha Grillers thermometer and, knock on wood, it still works. I kick myself for that stupid alpha griller purchase but I learned. So if I can offer some experience, this unit, so far is performing with stellar results. It is very quick in displaying temperatures and is, so far, reliable. +++Here is one caveat! In order to test it to a temperature I know is correct, I placed it in my closed fist expecting it to display 98.6 or something close. Nope! it only read my body temp to about 70 degrees. That's fine! IT is, on the other hand reliable reading higher temperatures like hot oil or food on the grill. So as long as you don't use it as a rectal thermometer I am confident it will serve you well. If you would ask me if I would buy it again I would say NO! WHY? because the thing must have broken leading me to purchase a new one. I want something to last until I die. Ok, that's not realistic but it's gotta last at least 10 years. So my answer should be yes. This is a fine instrument---------so far. Remember, I've only used it 5 times.

This is the first time I have used a thermometer like this. It worked perfectly. I put the thermometer at 115 degrees and it beeped when it reached the desired temp. The prime rib was perfect!! My neighbor overcooked her $150 prime rib and was heartbroken, but had she used this thermometer, it would not have happened. Ironically, I had ordered one that was considerably more expensive but it could not arrive in time for Xmas, so I ordered this and it worked so well I am happy I did not order a more expensive one. I recommend this highly.

Worked perfectly the first time we used it in conjunction with our smoker. The food came out so good that we decided to have some friends over and do it up right. I bought all the meat and prepped it for the smoker. I turned the thermometer on in the house and it read 260f. I tried everything to bring the temp down, I even stuck the probe in the freezer. Nothing would work, it wouldn't go up or down. I was forced to smoke the food with absolutely no idea what the temp of the food was lol. You can guess how that turned out. Wasted $50 of meat and it was also embarrassing eating potato salad as the main course.

I now own two of these and ironically each has been branded by different companies. (I paid twice as much for the first unit purchased a few years ago!) Both units perform as expected and include everything you need. (Timer, probe temp and temp alarm.) Strong magnets on the bottom of the unit allow you to attach it to a 'cool' metal surface on the side of your grill, smoker, etc. A single AAA battery seems to last forever!! The only reason I won't rate it five stars is due to the probe. As many others have warned, you CANNOT submerse the entire probe in water. Water will enter the probe where the temperature cable is crimped. Not a big deal, a wet soapy rag does the trick but you CANNOT forget nor should you assume anyone helping you to clean up knows about this issue.I cannot confirm the following statement but I have a feeling this unit is no longer manufactured because replacement parts (accessories/replacement probes) are difficult to find. I purchased a second probe when I bought the first unit a few years ago so I was not deterred by this issue. Besides, for $20 (vs..+$50 for newer models) how can you go wrong! I thought about buying a 'spare' but I have no reason to believe either unit will fail anytime soon.

My son loves this thermometer. I purchased this at a discounted price, during a promotion, for my honest and unbiased opinion. My son is the meat chief in the family. He loves to cook steak on the BBQ and use his smoker for roasts. He didn't have a thermometer that could stay in the meat and be read without opening the smoker and had been asking for one like this. He was happy to see he could set this for the amount of time or temperature and when its reached it beeps to let him know its done. Now we don't have undercooked or overcooked meats.The probe is long enough to stick in the meat and reach the timer/thermometer outside the BBQ or smoker. I can also use this with the oven in the house and don't worry about over cooking my meat, which I did often. To store the thermometer/timer folds flat so it doesn't take up much space when I put it away.I recommend this thermometer for all your cooking needs.

Right out of the box, it is so much better than the old thermometer I had. I do a lot of grilling, smoking and roasting so I put it to the test right away. The probe and the wire are very durable. I left it in a 14 pound picnic ham on a smoker for around 10 hours and it monitored the temperature perfectly to 170° when I removed it. I have also used it for a beautiful prime rib in the oven with great results (perfect 145°). I like being able to turn the alarm off and on so I can see the temp rise or fall without the noise. The magnet on the back holds good and strong. The wire attached to the probe is more than long enough to reach where I need it. If you are serious about your cooking, this is a great tool to have. Overall, I really like this thermometer.

Considering the price, this is a superb meat thermometer. It's very accurate - still registers boiling water at 100C even after a couple of years of use. All the functions work and the wire is nice and long. My only complaint is the probe is a bit thick but for the price I can't complain.

L'articolo funziona molto bene. Le istruzioni (in inglese/tedesco) sono semplici e complete. L'ho testato in acqua bollente ed è molto preciso (se fate questo test tenete in considerazione che ogni 300 m di altitudine la temperatura di ebollizione dell'acqua diminuisce di circa 1°C). Come riportano le istruzioni, se la sonda viene messa in forno, bisogna evitare di andare oltre i 200°C in quanto potrebbe deteriorarsi più rapidamente il cavetto. La qualità del materiale plastico è basica, però c'è tutto quello che serve senza troppe funzioni che complicherebbero solo l'utilizzo. La presenza dei magneti sul retro permette di fissarlo al forno ed evitare cadute, anche se la lunghezza del cavo è più che sufficiente per appoggiarlo anche sul piano sopra il forno. Il timer è pratico, si può selezionare la visualizzazione dei gradi in °F o °C, completo di batteria. Prodotto consigliato.

Macht was es soll. Schnelle Anzeige und gut hörbarer Signalton. Ich koche gerne bei 80 c und dafür ist es unverzichtbar .

Solid little unit and it helps me to know what the internal temperatures are coming from the oven. No more guesswork.Lots of other timers and functions too. Easy to clean and use.UPDATE.....I bought this in the March but by mid December it developed a fault in the switch. A real shame ! I got in contact with the seller and they are replacing the unit. A VERY decent way to treat a customer. Many thanks !

I have had this for a few years now and use it all the time...heat proof chord allow you to put it into the meat before the oven...works very well and vry accurate.
