Summary: Good Thermometer
Comment: Nice thermometer. Like some have mentioned it has no on/off switch. The unit I received had a silicone casing around the connection wire from the probe to the unit. Easy to use, large, and clear display. I'm going to use it on my smoker so I'll see if it holds up with that use.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Excellent and Easy to use
Comment: I've had this thermometer for several months now and it is still going strong. The display is easy to read, and the thermometer is very intuitive. I clean the probe with a cloth, as several reviews warn against immersing the probe in water to clean it; so far I haven't had any problems with this device. The temperature readings are very accurate, and I get perfectly cooked dishes every time. The only odd thing about this thermometer is that it has no on/off switch, but at least it doesn't seem to use that much battery power.

Summary: Good, not perfect...
Comment: The display is excellent, very clear. The controls are simple and easy to use. The flip up design is clever and useful, allowing you to adjust the angle of the display for clear viewing from any position.

I use this thermometer for grilling and it has allowed me to be quite accurate about cooking times.

There are just a few small negatives so far. The temperature reading seems to be a little low when compared to the many published charts for target temperatures. According to the charts, most meats are considered well done at 175 degrees. I find that a displayed temperature of 180 or even 185 is a well done result for burgers or chicken. It's easy to compensate for that, and it may just be a matter of my personal taste anyway.

An even more picky criticism - why can't the timer work as a regular timer as well as a countdown timer? I want to know how long something has been cooking, but I don't know for sure how long I will want it to cook. I find myself setting the timer for a guess, then adding another minute or two when it's not done. A minor, but annoying, issue.

Finally, I put the display on the metal shelf attached to my stainless steel gas grill. The LCD display has discolored slightly after a month of use, due to the high heat surrounding the grill. It's still perfectly readable, just a cosmetic defect.

Overall, I'm satisfied and would purchase the product again.

Summary: Excellent, when it works
Comment: I've already gone through two of these timers. When they work, they're indispensable - it's so nice to be able to walk away from the oven, knowing that the timer will alert you when your baked goods have reached the proper temperature. Very handy. However, I've found that these just stop working after about a year. I've changed the batteries, etc., but they just stop working after a while. I'm going to try a different brand.

Customer Rating:
Summary: good product
Comment: does what it is supposed to. As stated before an off switch would be nice, but all and all a good product
