works good
I have had this for almost a year, and for the money I cannot recommend a better product. I would buy another.

Outstanding Value
What a bargain, this is a great thermometer and the push button power switch is so easy to use; my other one had a tiny little switch that was so hard to work.

Not Accurate and Potentially Dangerous
From the start, it was apparent that the temperature displayed was 5 or 6 degrees higher than two other digital thermometers I had in the same room.So I followed the calibration instructions and was only able to get the display to read 34.1 degrees in a 32 degree solution... ok, so I can live with 2.1 degree inaccuracy.After calibrating, the room temperature was also only off by about 2 degrees.However, I decided to test it in boiling water and the display read 193 degrees (water boils at 212F).So, If you are counting on this thermometer to tell you anything important (such as if your meat is cooked suffiently or if your beer water is the right temperature for steeping), I would make sure it is accurate at the temperature of interest before using... or avoid it all together, which I wish I had done. ...

Editorial Review

No more burned cakes from a timer that couldn't be heard in the next room. This model not only has an extra-loud alarm but extra-big digits, so you can read it from afar. Easy to use, the timer simply has a start/stop button and two buttons for minutes and seconds. The timer counts either up or down, so it can be used as a stopwatch, with 100 minutes as the max. From a countdown mode, once the timer hits zero it begins counting up, so you know how much time has elapsed just in case you do miss the ring. Read more

Features

• Extra-large digits can be read from across the room
• Loud alarm can be heard in another part of the house
• Counts up or down; automatically counts up after 0
• Pocket clip, magnet, and stand allow multiple uses
• Set for up to 100 minutes; 1 AAA battery included

Great timer!!!
I've been using mine almost daily for cooking and/or laundry, and it is still running off the original battery after more than 6 months. The one small criticism that I have is that the buttons are too easily pushed, and I can't stick it in my pocket without stopping it or changing the setting somehow.Other than that, it's ALL good...

No frills but does the job
It's cheap, it's huge, and it counts down and up. This is exactly what I needed. I use it for music practice - it has a magnet on the back and sticks right to my music stand. Nice, big buttons so it's easy to pause or add time. Big display so it doesn't have to be right in front of you. And decently loud alarm so you can hear it when you're playing. I even dropped it onto a wood floor and, although I spent some time finding the scattered parts, it still works. 4 stars instead of 5 because it has NO OTHER FEATURES whatsoever - not even a normal clock - but definitely a good purchase.

Exactly as Described
Large numbers, easy to see, simplicity of use, counts up or down, portable, good value - what more do you need. ... Read more

This thermometer instantly ascertains the temperature of foods, whether they're on the buffet line or being cooked. Its 1-inch dial, protected by a shatterproof plastic lens, displays temperatures from 0 to 220 degrees F. The thermometer comes with a pocket case and has a 5-inch stainless-steel stem. Should it seem to be off kilter, the thermometer can be recalibrated by twisting the hexagonal hub beneath the dial with pliers. Read more

meat thermometer
This is a easy to use and I am pleased with this product.

Low Tech Works Best
I have been cooking in resturants for many years and I never went a night without this thermometer.
Taylor Thermometer
I am a cook for the US Army, and I have been using Taylor Instant-Read Dial Thermometer's for over 5 years now. It is quick reading, easy to use, and reliable. I would use this thermometer over any of the newer digital ones. Most thermometers as with most things need to be recalibrated. Taylor has supplied a calibration device on the carry case!

This professional-grade frothing thermometer clips to the side of a frothing pitcher and permits baristas (espresso machine operators) to instantly and precisely measure temperatures while steaming milk for cappuccinos or caffe lattes. The thermometer measures temperatures from 120 to 180 degrees F, and the optimum frothing temperature zone is indicated on the 1-1/4-inch dial in purple. The instrument has a 5-inch stainless-steel stem. Read more

Solid Thermometer For Frothing
It was with some trepidation that I ordered this thermometer; I had read the review(s) stating that the lack of a 100 degree mark was a problem.I ordered anyway.
Frothing Dial Thermometer
The thermometer gives an instant easy to read temperature.Well worth the money spent for a great frothy latte.

Good quality but poor functionality
I own several other Taylor thermometers and they are all very good quality items for their price range.However, this thermometer, though its quality is fine, lacks the temperature markings (i.e., it does not even go down to 100 F!) needed to perfect the steamed milk or frothed milk needed for lattes, cappucinos, or macchiatos.As one of the previous reviewers mentioned, once the temperature reaches 100 F, you should move the steam wand from the surface to the bottom.This is an essential step to get the perfect "microfoam" (not the big soap bubbles that you get from the Mermaid) that makes for a fantastic latte or cappucino.Bottom line: find a thermometer that has easy to read numbers, a clip, and temperature that goes down to at least 100, but preferably lower. ...

For professional accuracy, nothing beats this digital thermometer for instantly ascertaining the temperature of foods, whether they're frozen, on the buffet line, or being cooked. Its 1/3-inch LCD face, protected by a rugged polycarbonate cover, displays temperatures from minus 58degrees to 302 degrees F, and updates every second. An on/off switch prolongs the life of the 1.5-volt watch battery that powers the thermometer. (Two batteries are included.) The thermometer comes with a pocket case and has a 4-5/8-inch stainless-steel stem tipped with a temperature sensor, so the thermometer reads temperatures near a food's surface or deep inside.

This one is doesn't work when it gets hot or wet (and where do you use YOUR thermometer?).
Thermometer
I found this thermometer erratic and misleading.It does not register the temperature quickly, and is not consistent.It has been of no use to me.

Accurate to a tenth of a degree, this Pyrex digital thermometer takes the guesswork out of cooking by temperature. Made with a durable stainless-steel probe, the tool has an easy-to-read display that delivers readings from -50 to 392 F (-45 to 200 C) with a one-second delay. The plastic storage case doubles as a perpendicular holder so you can keep your fingers away from the heat source. It also includes an apron clip and a basic temperature guide for cooking meat. Simple buttons turn the power on and off and switch between Fahrenheit and Centigrade. Pyrex includes an extra battery. Read more

Pyrex makes some of the best most affordable products!
This thermometer is excellent, especially at it's very low price. I know some others are complaining that 3-5 seconds is not instant.. but, what about instant oatmeal? That takes 3-5 minutes. Instant just means you will get the temp within a few seconds rather than a few minutes. Works great, don't get it wet.

Best amazon purchase I ever made
I use this all the time, normally forget to turn it off, and still have not even used up the 1st battery.It came with an extra.I never had good luck with instant thermometers before, and the kind you leave in get dirty and unreadable.I admit, I have never dropped it in water, but I have had no trouble and have had it for 2 years.

Accurate but a display issue.
Very accurate thermometer.However I do not think it has an automatic cut off regarding power.Mine is now useless as far as display, I think the battery has gone dead.If a calculator has an automatic turn off mechanism, why not this?

Editorial Review

No longer guess about whether beef or poultry has reached the correct internal temperature--your meats will be deliciously tender and juicy with this preprogrammable timer. Insert the 7-inch probe and select the preferred temperature setting (rare, medium, well done) for beef, lamb, veal, pork, turkey, chicken, and one custom setting. Curious to know the progress? The large LCD readout on the magnetized display presents internal temperature continuously during cooking. The loud five-minute alarm gives you plenty of time to respond. Read more

Features

• 6 meat and 4 "doneness" settings allow for precise cooking
• Digital readout displays inner temperature of food while cooking
• 43" probe wire allows for probe to reach safely out of oven
• USDA food temperature chart included for guidelines for recommended meat temperatures
• Presettable alarms let user set times for checking temperatures

Too many problems to be happy with.
I bought this to replace a nice Williams-Sonoma model which simplified things with buttons to select meats and cooking doneness levels...only because I lost the proble travelling from relatives' houses. This Polder had the extra benefit (I thought) of reading the oven temperature as well as the food temps. I used it Thanksgiving -- no time like an important holiday, right? -- and discovered the warts on the thermometer:
Do bot buy. LCD screen failed on 2 thermometers.
I bought 2 thermometers within the last 2 years.
Good for Candy-making
I use this thermometer for making candy as well as cooking meat, and it works really well.There is a clip to attach it to the pan while you cook.No more wondering whether you're at the "soft-ball" stage yet or not.I love it for oatmeal no-bake cookies. ... Read more

CDN Proaccurate thermometer

Editorial Review

Froth milk to just the right temperature for lattes or cappuccinos with this InstaRead thermometer by CDN. A specially designed stainless-steel clip holds the thermometer firmly to the side of any size pitcher or pan; when the clip is removed, the slender stainless-steel probe inserts easily into roasting meats and poultry for a fast temperature read-out. Even though the dial measures only one inch in diameter, the high visibility red pointer and large numbers make it easy to read temperatures, which range from 60 to 220 degrees Fahrenheit and can even be recalibrated for continued accuracy. The thermometer may be used on meats taken out of a conventional oven, microwave, grill, rotisserie, and smoker, but should be removed from the meat as soon as the temperature is registered, since the polycarbonate lens is not oven-proof. The protective sheath for the thermometer features a pocket clip and loop to conveniently hold the probe, and lists various types of meats along with the USDA recommended internal temperature for each. A five-year warranty covers the thermometer against defects.Read more

Features

• Compact thermometer ideal for small frothing pitchers and hot beverages
• Computer-designed clip holds firmly to any size container
• Temperature range 60 to 220 degrees Fahrenheit
• Large numbers and red indicator needle makes reading easy
• With clip removed, probe is perfect for testing roasted meats

Designed to measure internal meat temperatures, Taylor’s instant read thermometer supplies information with surprising rapidity.

An accompanying anti-bacterial storage sleeve is included with purchase and carries a non-toxic chemical component designed to inhibit bacteria growth. Wipe with a damp cloth to clean, and periodically wash the stem with alcohol to disinfect. This item should not be placed in the dishwasher. Taylor covers the product with its lifetime warranty.

Works fine for me
I cannot comment yet on the probe issue as the other reviewer wrote.I have done 4 smokes with it over the past 2 weeks, and it works fine so far.I use the Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker, a.k.a. the Weber "Bullet".
Disappointed
I have owned this thermometer for just under a year, used it maybe 10 times and the meat probe no longer works.I called Maverick and they said the probe is burned-out and must be replaced, for twelve bucks!They said that this is about the normal life of a probe.

Professional baristas and brew-at-home latte lovers can froth their milk to perfection--140 to 160 degrees Fahrenheit or 60 to 70 degrees Celsius--with this top-quality thermometer. A clip hooks onto the edge of a frothing pitcher and adjusts, so the 4-inch stem is halfway into the milk. Temperature readings register on a round-faced gauge, with outer numbers displaying Fahrenheit readings and an inner circle indicating Celsius degrees. The stem is made of durable, 18/10 stainless steel, while the glass dial is encased in a rubber, heat-safe coating. This thermometer is covered by a limited lifetime warranty. Read more

Not very waterproof
I know this is supposed to be a waterproof thermometer, but my wife ran it under the faucet to clean it and the screen fogged up inside. I took out the battery and found water in the compartment.
Love this product.
Used it yesterday for the first time on a turkey breast.I've never had a more tender, juicy turkey.Easy to use.

Digital Thermometer
I bought this thermometer for my son's science project. For the price, it was well worth it. It was used to get the temperature of soda and did exactly what we needed it to do. The numbers are easy to read and it doesn't take long to get a reading. I'm sure we will find other uses for the thermometer as well. Nice case and easy to take care of. ... Read more

Good Job
Pyrex did an excellent job on this thermometer!They did not follow the other companies with this thermometer, the don't use the soft push buttons to turn this on, or to change between Farenheit and Celsius, instead the use a sliding switch which makes the battery life longer because it cannot get turned on in your kitchen drawers, and you don't get annoyed wondering why it is always on Celsius!Amazon has this at a great price point too!I seen this at a disocunt retailer for $15.99, that is double Amazons price.Pyrex has also given you an additional battery for your enjoyment!

Excellent product - the best yet
This one really is an INSTANT read digital thermometer.It is in the same chassis as the Ecko model from several years ago but much, much faster.It comes with an extra battery and is a super deal for the money.It is the best digital cooking thermometer I have ever used and I have tried at least four other models. ...
