Ok product on meat

Bought for beer making. The product has a tendency to tip over and is difficult to read due to the liquid (and objects in the liquid) covering the face. Instead, use a good digital thermometer for a quick reading.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Nothing here

Really waterproof, very accurate but careless

This thermometer is totally waterproof and very accurate. The only reason I didn't give it all five stars is because it's too heavy and will tip over if you mix everything you cook (or paint in my case). It's not a deal breaker, but I'm tired of flipping back all the time. But how do I know it's waterproof?

Not suitable for my purpose

I bought this to measure the temperature of milk in an instant yogurt cup. For some strange reason, the front of the thermometer is concave, which I didn't notice when ordering. This means that if I gently stir the milk as it heats, the milk usually floods the dial and is unreadable until I remove the thermostat and wipe it clean. It'll probably work well for reading water for sous vide or the like, but if you want to track the temperature in an opaque liquid, you're out of luck.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Upgradable

Useful for things other than the slow cooker.

My husband uses it to make homemade moonshine. I use it to make jam and sweets. Take her temperature. This is a decent product but it needs to be protected when you put it in your e-juice. By "place" I mean "add carefully", roll over when you do so. Rapid cooking can also cause the thermometer to drift. The thermometer appears to be fairly accurate in terms of temperature. I wash and dry the thermometer carefully by hand. seems reasonably well made and has proven to be a useful if somewhat…

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Doubt

Seems to work well and comes apart for easy cleaning

Seems to work as advertised. It's big enough that you can read it easily without getting in the way. The red ring can be slid down and removed, making cleaning much easier than it would otherwise be. I have another digital thermometer and so far it has always been within a degree or two of error and as I am not a professional chef this small margin is more than enough for my needs. In any case, I have no way of confirming the accuracy of the digital. As far as I know, this option is accurate…

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Repair

Tests are accurate and working as expected

While I don't really need this little thermometer that doesn't satisfy my instant read sensor or my candy thermometer, it's a smart device and it works as it should. occurred. I've tested it in hot liquids and compared its readings to two other devices and it's accurate and seems pretty quick to respond. I still haven't seen any steam build up, but I haven't used it for long cooking like in a slow cooker. Mine stayed upright in the liquid even if it moved a bit, but not at full boiling point…

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Something is wrong

It works, but is it necessary?

Mine worked fine a few times and showed no signs of a leak. The readings are consistent and match what I'm getting from three "regular" kitchen thermometers to within a degree or two. However, the reality is that it solves a problem that doesn't exist. I can't usually read it through the lid, and my regular kitchen thermometers read in just a few seconds after opening the lid. It sounded like a good idea but doesn't really help with the slow cooker. I can use my regular kitchen thermometer to…

  • Acceptable
