Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Maverick Electronic Thermometer and Timer

Customer Review: Useless Junk
Summary: 1 Stars

I purchased this product, reading that other reviewers had issues with the temperature probe not working after a couple uses, thinking "oh, it must be something THEY did, not a product defect". I am here to say I was wrong. The temperature probe is useless beyond only 1 use (my first hand experience). I cooked 1 product with successful results, and the next time I tried to use this Maverick thermometer, I realized how much of a piece of garbage this unit actually is. Don't get me wrong now, the product clearly has potential, showing what meats and what "doneness" temperature is appropriate, and the physical plastic/LCD unit itself doesn't seem bad. However, the whole purpose of the unit is to read the internal temperature of foods that are being cooked (hence it's an electronic thermometer). However, by the time I wanted to use this unit for the 2nd time, the temperature reading just said "HI", even when the probe was room temperature, or if the probe was put into another food item to monitor.
Let me also say that other reviewers have hypothesized that the failure of the temperature probe may be due to water getting beyond where the metal is crimped.. Well, that's clearly not what causes the thermometer unit to fail. I took extra care to wipe the probe with a moist cloth after the 1st use, and get water nowhere near the "crimped" area, and the unit still does not work after 1 use.
Believe myself and all the other reviewers who will warn you that the probe will stop working almost as soon as you plug it in, whether it's from 1, 2, or 3 uses, it will fail. Don't waste your money or time on this product.

Description of Maverick Electronic Thermometer and Timer

Electronic timer/Thermometer
With its electronic precision, detailed menu, and intelligent system of signals, this Maverick thermometer/timer leaves other kitchen temperature takers in the dust. Designed for remote use with ovens, barbecues, fryers, and smokers, the unit comes with a stainless-steel probe on a detachable 42-inch heat-resistant wire. Its cooking menu includes four doneness levels and 15 different types of meat, ranging from beef and veal to ground turkey. You can pre-program the settings or customize their options, for perfect results with your favorite recipes. The unit?s large LCD monitor is easy to read and shows alert and current temperatures, doneness level, meat category, and cooking time. Using three distinct auditory signals, the device can be set to send signals when food is nearly done, done, or overdone. Other handy features include a 20-hour up/down timer, memory recall, quick start/quick stop timer button, and a simple Celsius/Fahrenheit switch. The unit can be made to stand up, hang, or attach by magnets and runs on a single AAA battery, which is included. --Emily Bedard
