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.

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
