Review on 🌑️ Yellow Taylor Precision Thermocouple Thermometer: Digital Turbo Read with Foldable Probe by Andrea Sonnier

Revainrating 4 out of 5

fast enough good for thermometer and timer

tested going from hot tap water (116F) to water with ice floating in it (32F). Reading from one to the other takes about 6 seconds. It's pretty fast. The screen is large and backlit. The figures are approximately 3/4 inch tall. Very worth reading. The viewing angle is adequate, a bit narrower than I would have expected from modern displays. This requires 2 AAA batteries, not LR44. (Amazon's description mentions both types.) It's a little larger than I imagined. 5.5" closed, 10" open. My first impression upon holding it was that the plastic feels cheap, it rattles a little, and the hinge is a bit tight. If you think about it, that first impression is completely wrong. The hinge must be rigid to prevent the probe from moving when inserted into food. The only thing that rattles is the three plastic buttons that sit on top of the clicking switches, not the flimsy rubber buttons. The plastic feels a bit like an old phone: smooth and hard. Only time will tell, but I think this thermometer is built to last.

Pros
  • understandable even for old people
Cons
  • weight
