Editorial Review: Product Description: Now with on and off switch! A huge kitchen favorite and must-have! Once you use this in your kitchen, you will never want to be without it. Rated #1 Meat Probe Thermometer by Cook's Illustrated magazine. The Original Cooking Thermometer/Timer by ThermoWorks, the makers of the famous Thermapens, is the same convenient Thermo/Timer preferred by many to monitor roasting temperatures in the oven or on the grill. Great for monitoring oil temperature of oil for frying on the stove. Also popular in lab and industrial applications. Easily set alarm temperatures and the countdown timer with clear up/down buttons. This unit remains on continuously to prevent someone accidentally shutting it off during use. There is no on/off switch. The battery should still last approximately 1 year and is replaced with a single common AAA battery. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A word of cautionI'm a huge fan of Cook's Illustrated and consider their reviews when buying equipment, which led to my choice of this thermometer versus another when the one I'd had for years died. Only problem? It failed after just a few weeks and uses - which were stove top (i.e. I didn't fry the cable cooking things at 500 degrees in the oven). Wrote to the seller, who forwarded my complaint to the manufacturer, who blamed me for the problem with a long explanation as below regarding how the probes ... Read More Rating:  - Cookings a breeze!I bought this based on a recommendation for thermometers on Cooks Illustrated website. They have a test kitchen and tested many different products. I have not been disappointed at all in this item. I use it all the time for baking, roasting and cooking of all sorts. Can be used outside when grilling, and provides dual function. Once inserted into your food, you can rest assured the alarm will sound when your food reaches the desired temperature inside the oven, no more guesswork. At the same time, ... Read More Rating: - Best value.I read the Cook's Illustrated magazine review. They rated this number 1. I called Thermoworks to ask about the probes. They said they are NOT "sometimes defective". But, over time heat and moisture can damage them. Or, if you let the cable rest against a heating element it will burn through the cable. That is why they sell replacement probes at a good price. So I got an extra probe. But still haven't needed it. I also asked about Polder. They said it is actually the same thermometer internally and made by ... Read More Rating: - Nice Oven ThermometerI use the Thermapen thermometer made by this same company and I wanted another one that I could set to beep at a certain temperature in the oven when it hits a certain degree. I even used it on the grill to cook steaks. I just closed the lid on the wire and found that lots easier than just probing the meat all the time. It works fine and I'm very happy with it.I will be buying another one for a friend. Rating: - Recommended with reservationsActually, Cooks Illustrated recommended this thermometer "with reservations." Here's what they have to say: "The best of the bunch-an easy-to-use thermometer from ThermoWorks ($19)-was great when it worked but has probes that even its manufacturer admits are sometimes defective. Until a better meat probe comes on the market, we recommend this one-with reservations. Check the probe's accuracy by boiling water and taking a reading before trying it with a roast. If the probe doesn't read very close ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
