Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of ProAccurate Thermometer
Customer Review: Great thermomether
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this to replace some inaccurate and slower analog thermometers I had. I tested it upon receipt and it read 31.6 at freezing and 211.2 at boiling. I thought this was pretty accurate for a a quick read thermometer that was as inexpensive as it was.
I have been using it for a couple months now and think it is great. The only improvement I would make on it would be to make the stem a couple inches longer. This probably would not be an issue for most people, but I use it to measure mash temperature when making beer and wish it could easily get deeper in the mash.
I would highly recommend this thermometer to anyone looking for an accurate (with the ability to calibrate) thermometer at a good cost.
Customer Review: works great, looks great
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the model that was named a 'best buy' by Cooks Illustrated. Overall it was rated second to the $80 Thermapen, which uses a superior technology. Nonetheless, I found this does everything well and has no faults. I bought this for when I cook at my Mother's house. I have the Thermapen too, which is faster and has a greater temperature range, but the CDN does everything its supposed to, at a $60 savings.
I found it to be fast, easily readable (extra large letters, good contrast) and reliable. I liked that it turns itself off, since some other models don't and just run down the battery. It also allows you to re-calibrate itself in freezing water, so you can be sure it stays accurate.
Customer Review: Terrific Thermometer
Summary: 5 Stars
The picture on this page is misleading ... it is the DTQ450 reviewed by Cooks. The thermometer has a small red tip on a slightly narrowed shaft.
I ordered this instant read thermometer because of the terrific review by Cooks and have never regreted it.
I have had it for about 3 weeks now and have used it on chickens, beef steak and bread on many occassions. The LCD readout is large and easy to read. It reads quickly (4 or 5 seconds)and produces reliable results and the on off button is a nice touch. By the way the red tip is not a protective tip cover to be removed leave it alone!
If you are in the market for an instant read thermometer do yourself a favour and buy this one.
Customer Review: Excellent product has made me a better grillmaster
Summary: 5 Stars
I've previously used a cheap analog thermometer or timed and guessed at when my meats would be done on the grill. Buying and using the ProAccurate thermometer has been a transformative experience in the way I grill meats. With this fast, accurate thermometer, I now reliably get the medium rare steaks cooked medium rare, the medium steaks cooked medium, and my chicken and pork safely cooked but not overdone. Nice egg shape design keeps it from rolling off. My one wish would be that the stem of the thermometer were about 6 inches longer -- I sometimes feel like I'm burning my fingers when I get close to the grill to check temperature (that's why proper grill utensils are big, right?).Customer Review: Lots of nice features
Summary: 5 Stars
First of all, the numbers are very big; about twice the size of another thermometer I had. There are a lot of nice features with this thermometer. The automatic off feature will certainly save a lot of batteries and regrets. The sleeve has an open tip on it to allow it to measure ambient temperature. A calibration button allows you to ensure it is set correctly. A hold button will let you retained the reading until you can get the thermometer to where you can read it. The package says it's waterproof, I don't plan on testing though! It is rated for commercial use so it is very durable. Changing the battery is through a large screw on cap so that should be easy to do.
