Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Taylor 1470 Digital Cooking Thermometer/Timer
Customer Review: Blah!
Summary: 1 Stars
Nothing like having your probe breakdown in the middle of thanksgiving turkey roasting with the family gathering around to share in your perfectly brined and seasoned turkey that supposedly was to be the juiciest bird EVER! My probe went on the fritz and only regitered "HI" as the setting somewhere after 111 degrees in my bird.
I had loved it until then although questioned its readings every now and then. If you buy this have a manual-read back up. I'm shopping for a new one now. By the way, my bird was juicy and flavorful but definately overcooked!
Customer Review: Taylor Digital Cooking / Timer Thermometer - The BEST
Summary: 5 Stars
Never experience the frustration and disappointment of cooking a too well done prime rib roast again! The Taylor Digital Oven Thermometer/Timer insures a perfect roast each time. You set the cooking time or target temperature. The alarm alerts you when the set point has been reached. During cooking you can change the settings. The digital display is clear and easy to read. The magnets allow flat mounting on any metal surface vertically or horizontally. No more opening the oven door to check the meat thermometer. No more failed "POP-UP" turkey timers.Customer Review: Do not purchase this product
Summary: 2 Stars
This product is poorly made and I suggest you do not purchase it. Mine broke after just 6 months of use. I returned it to the manufacturer since it comes with a 1-year warranty and they sent me a new one. Only 5 months later, the new thermometer has broken in a different way. This time the sound stopped working completely, which is extremely dangerous since a key feature is that it beeps to alert you that your food has reached a certain temperature and I was using it on the stovetop when it broke. This defect could easily have resulted in a fire.Customer Review: Overdone Prime rib
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased this thermometer with the hopes of a perfect medium prime rib. With all the special features, I thought this would be perfect for our dinner. Unfortunately, the internal temp was wrong. The thermometer read 100 degrees farenheit. We decided to recheck it in another area of the roast, the temp read 148, so we removed the prime rib to what I thought was medium well to well. I guess this thermometer gives you a general idea of the temp but this was after we played around with the probe a bit. I would not recommend this for roasts.Customer Review: Worked great for a year
Summary: 2 Stars
The thermometer worked great for about a year and I was careful not to let it stay in the oven above 392 degrees, as the instructions stated. Lately the temperature has been jumping around: 250 degrees, then 310, then 180, all in in the space of a few seconds, so I assume the probe has malfunctioned. In the end I'd say that I got my money's worth since it lasted a year and I used it and the timer at almost every meal. But I'm going to look for better quality for my next purchase. The only question is, is there anything better made out there?
