Review on ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Yatnchan Digital Meat Thermometer: Waterproof, Instant Read with Backlight & Calibration - Perfect for Cooking, Grilling, BBQs, and Outdoor Kitchen Use by Katie Owens

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Melted on first use

Although I take full responsibility for this, I believe this is a meat thermometer used for high temperature cooking .Unfortunately it is cheap plastic.The thermometer has a nice compact design, which I really like.The probe folds flush on the side to turn the device off and for easy storage.Fold the probe, the device turns on.Convenient!The display is easy to read, although it seems to be counting slowly (tenths of a degree, if you know it's very hot). I don't have time for this, so I opened the probe in the corner, stuck the chicken I was cooking in, and placed the end on the stove. The probe connects to the thermometer, FAST melted. About 4 minutes maximum. So don't close it now. Which - guess what - means it won't work. I literally took it out of the box to use on this chicken. I've used it exactly once and it's still working perfectly, I just took out the battery to turn it off. Even though I fully admit that using it this way was my own stupid mistake, how are you supposed to use it? ? Do you pop it out and in a few times, poke extra holes in the meat you're cooking and waste those precious juices? You can also just avoid the whole ordeal and slice it open to test. It comes with extra batteries which was a pleasant surprise. I will use it until I get tired of removing the battery every time, but I wouldn't buy it again.

Pros
  • Solid construction
Cons
  • No machine
