CDN DTP482 Digital Programmable Thermometer Review

I ordered one of these programmable thermometers for my girlfriend and she was so happy with it that she ordered it for herself. This will make my cooking a lot easier. Haven't been able to use it yet. My only complaint so far is that the magnet they sent isn't strong enough to hold the thermometer to my range hood. I'll find a stronger magnet to attach to the hood so it's at eye level. The plastic case feels a little flimsy, but it seems to do everything it claims to do. I plan to check the…

I really wanted one with a remote control, but they were too expensive for me. It was a much better price. I wrestled with the decision because we've really had to watch our pennies since the recession. $25 won't…

I did a lot of research before buying a digital probe thermometer. Every brand and model seems to have its own pitfalls. So unless you spend a few hundred dollars on a lab thermometer, you are bound to encounter one or more downsides. unreliable sensors, inaccurate readings, cumbersome menus, insufficient range, flimsy construction, etc. In the end, I asked myself these questions: What are the most desirable qualities and what are the tradeoffs? it was safe.
