Good quality/dishwasher safe

This thermometer looks high quality and the lid fits perfectly. The only problem is that it takes forever to read the temperature. Because it was very short, I had to hold it and my hand got very hot. What I also really like is that it is washable. I feel like I'm really sanitizing it. UPDATE I've had it for a few weeks and I realize it never goes above 120 even knowing the meat is well done. I wouldn't recommend it at all. I deduct my 4 stars.

Pros
  • Adjustable dimensions: User calibration nut ensures long-term accuracy
Cons
  • Expensive insurance

Doesn't read properly and takes forever to get up to speed.

This thermometer is horrible! I bought this because I make homemade yogurt for my daughter and I need the temperatures to be accurate. I had to have it replaced calibrated before using it and it seemed to work fine. But I've since used it for both meat and boiling water with incorrect readings. For boiling water it wasn't more than 190. It also ALWAYS needed to check the temp and who has so much time while cooking. It was also very difficult to calibrate. We bought another thermometer yesterday

Pros
  • Dimensions: 5" x 1.4" x 1.25"
Cons
  • Protection

Waste of money, good for meat

Said to be a commercial strain but I find it hard to believe. I've bought commercial thermometers like this one and it doesn't belong in the same category. When I checked the accuracy against the manufacturer's specs, it was off by 10 degrees or more. I adjusted it following the instructions in the email. When I started using it on a roast less than 2 weeks later, it was very low. Luckily I had another thermometer with me, and since the roast looked and felt like it was done, I checked the…

Pros
  • Extreme temperature range: thermometer reads 0 to 220 degrees Fahrenheit
Cons
  • In stock

insert and read. wait a bit

Easy to calibrate - just dip in ice water and set to 32! (actually it wasn't that far, just a tick above @33) Yes, the dial is a bit small, but it fits in my drawer, so overall I'm happy. made a turkey on the first day of use! pat yourself on the back. The only problem is that it cannot be read immediately so it took a long time for the temperature to stabilize to check the meat. I just don't want to keep batteries for something I'll use once or twice a year. Most of the time, when the meat…

Pros
  • Durable Material: Stainless steel construction and shatterproof lenses make this thermometer very reliable
Cons
  • A dodgy purchase for the elderly

Pros
  • Dishwasher safe: advanced materials allow you to wash dishes at high temperatures
Cons
  • Available in white only

The dial is really too small. One has to approach with a magnifying glass - and I have a large one, but the glass cover over the thermometer dial makes it even difficult because there is optical distortion around the edge of the glass where the markings are. And then bring your eyeballs so close that you have to be careful when you breathe on the thermometer - the probe is only inches away and it's sensitive and quick to respond, regardless of accuracy (which is questionable). .I didn't demand…

Pros
  • Adjustable Dimensions: Custom gauge nut ensures long-term accuracy.
Cons
  • Unreliable.
