Review on 🌑️ Wireless Meat Thermometer for BBQ Grill and Smoker - ThermoFuture Long Range Temperature Monitor (40M-50M) by Leanne Young

Revainrating 4 out of 5

VERY handy tool! A MUST in the kitchen! Use MORE than cooking!

This meat thermometer was a great addition to my kitchen! I leave the stand and receiver on the tabletop, unplug the temperature sensor and put it in a drawer. Looks great on the kitchen table too! It's very convenient, even using it as a timer for whatever I need to count down. I can even take it off the stand while the timer is up and take it out of the kitchen or even outside, which was really helpful even though I wasn't using it as a thermometer! I've even used it as a timer for my kids' computer or for reading time! HA! Just put it next to them and they will know in advance how much time they have left! So much less complaints! The thermometer set is packaged very nicely in a professional looking box that you can even give away. In the package you will find a 4.8" x 2.5" x 1" wireless digital receiver, a transmitter stand and a 48" heat resistant stainless steel probe from plug to tip (including 7" a probe), as well as a very detailed one , well-written instructions. The instructions clearly show all the features and recommendations of the thermometer, as well as exactly how best to use it. I have used this thermometer in the oven, on the stovetop and in the slow cooker and it has improved my meat and every time Works great.!It's so handy that you can just pop it in the meat when you start setting it up the way you want and move on to other tasks without worrying about overcooking the meat I just love that you can cook the PERFECT steak and know exactly what level of doneness you're going to have from start to finish!You can go from rare to good in minutes!This appliance tells you in advance when to take the steak off the fire and it turns out just how you want it! Also, when cooking in a slow cooker, it's VERY helpful to know the internal temperature at which the meat is being cooked so you can adjust it if it's too high to keep it from drying out! I know I had a high fever while cooking and didn't realize it until the digital receiver beeped! You need to insert 4 AAA batteries to use, which are NOT included! There is an on/off switch on the receiver and transmitter stands. Heat resistant stainless steel wire probe (temperature resistant to 482 F/250 C) slides into stand. You can then insert the probe through the center of your flesh. Just be careful, get as close to the center as you can and stay away from the bones/fat! I love how the measuring stick is angled so you can put it nicely in the pan and it won't be a problem or get in the way! You can choose the temperature in C or F if you want your meat Rare, Medium, Medium, Medium, Well or Well Done. You can also choose what type of meat you are cooking as each type of meat has a different cooking temperature. These levels are fully customizable! So if you don't want your Rare to be 140, you can set any temperature you REALLY want! The receiver also has a timer that counts up or down so you can "time" your cooking too! The digital receiver can be retracted up to 20 meters from the transmitter stand, which is very convenient! I can go outside or other rooms of the house and it worked without any problems, so the power is VERY strong! There are a few things that I wish worked differently on this unit and that's why I'm giving this item 4 stars instead of 5. The biggest is when the alarm goes off to let you know you've reached your target temperature, and it can't be turned off until the internal temperature has dropped. This gets in the way when trying to cook in a slow cooker and you have to wait for the temperature to drop on its own, which can take a few minutes. That's a lot of beeps! You probably won't have too much trouble with it in most cooking situations, as you'll pull it out when it hits the mark. A minor inconvenience is that pressing the light button (labeled "light") on top of the set-top box also activates "flavor mode" and changes the cooking level, in addition to activating the backlight. I found that you can instead activate the light by pressing the Min or Sec button. Therefore, it won't change any of your other settings during the cooking process, even if you're using a timer. This device also has no memory, so none of your custom settings are saved after you turn it off. You just have to press the "Mode" button every time you turn on the device for the first time and change C to F and/or reset the custom sleep options if you like the change. And the last thing that the timer only counts up to or from 99 minutes 59 seconds. In any case, this is a rare case where you need more time. This thermometer has been a huge help in the kitchen and I'm so glad I have it! This is something I will be using SEVERAL times a week and it's an item that will always be on my desk and will be SUPER functional for a variety of purposes, even outside of cooking! This is a MUST, a USEFUL thing! I also really like that this item has a 30 day money back guarantee! If for some reason there is a problem or it doesn't work as expected for you, you will get nothing at all! Do not allow moisture or water to get inside the probe and do not use it in temperatures above 482 F and it should last a long time! If anything changes at any point I will update my review with new information. !I received this wireless thermometer at a discount to try at my home and this is my experience and honest opinion of the product and how it has worked for me and my family!
