Review on 🔵 Comark PDT300: Waterproof Food Meat Candy Thermometer - Versatile Chef's Instant Read Tool for Cooking, Baking, BBQ, and More! Calibratable & Customer Favorite - Color Blue by Kathy King

Purchased in April 2013 and still working, seems very accurate and used for almost everything from ice cream to making candy. This one definitely cost $20 and only had one battery change. We have other less expensive thermometers, but this thermometer has been in use for many years. The "waterproof" claim hasn't been my experience and if the top gets wet if something is dropped the display will come and go and take a while to dry and start working properly again. It is used a lot at home and the battery has been replaced once. It's a quick read and really doesn't take long to get used to the pace. We make our own ice cream and often heating is required but the batch needs to cool to a certain temperature before proceeding to the next step and that's great for this purpose. After so many years, it deserves 5 stars for accuracy, durability, and no premature deaths. We also use it to make yogurt as we know room temperature is part of the process and it worked well too. Unfortunately, that's good news, as it's now starting to fall apart (the bezel is peeling off), the buttons are hard to press and/or touch, and when it gets wet it's difficult to dry out and get it running. again (you need to remove the battery to dry it). We just replaced it with another PDT300 instead of risking anything else just to save a few bucks.
