Rating: - Great Timer, Crappy Probe
I got this for Christmas this past year, and I love it! It takes all the guess work out of roasting meats rare, medium, etc. We used it Christmas night for the roast beast! What I do no love is the shoddy probe. I am now ordering my second replacement probe. The first one went crazy after about 6 months, said everything was 69 degrees. The replacement lasted about 3 months, and now says my kitchen (never mind when I put it IN the meat) is 298 degrees. I love the timer because it is great, but replacing probes every few months is getting OLD!
Rating: - Total Crap
Right out of the box it was defective. Said that my roast was 380 degrees when I pulled it out of the fridge. Tested in on a cooked roast, said that the temperature was too high to measure at ver 450 degrees. Riiiiiiiight.
Utter piece of garbage, this product.
Rating: - Well worth the money
Read several reviews on this product and found most of the negitive to be user errors. Since purchasing this product, I have used it several times. I even used it while pulling the smoker down the highway and the magnetic feet kept it in place. Several people complained about it not having an shutoff switch, I found that the batteries last a long time and didn't need to be shutoff. The probe worked well and the cord was as good as my other one that I also use everytime I smoke. It's good to have more than one of these for multiple pieces of meat.
Rating: - Great thermometer but it has its ups and downs
Its great. I bought it for school for making sponge cakes, Italian Meringue, and cooking sugar. I haven't regretted spending the money on it yet. The timer on it is also conveniently useful. However The cord does burn easily and when it does the temperature reading doesnt work very well so you must be careful when using near an open flame. Also This doesnt have an on and off switch so I have to continually take the battery out when not in use.
Rating: - Only used it twice...
The first time I used it, it was fine. The second time, when the probe was unplugged it read the temp as "lo". When the probe was plugged in, it read "hi" and beeped continually. The probe tip was not inserted into anything to be reading a temperature! I'll try a replacement and let you know how that works. Good think I didn't wait too long to try it!
