Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Taylor 1470 Digital Cooking Thermometer/Timer
Customer Review: Probe stopped recording accurately
Summary: 4 Stars
I have had the Taylor 1470 thermometer/probe for a couple of years, thanks to Alton Brown's Good Eats. When I purchased it, I found it to be great for a novice cook like me. This past New Year's Day, I was cooking a ham and it failed to record the temperature. Having depended on it to work, needless to say the ham was overcooked. To top that off, my aunt stepped on the cord and it pulled away from the end of the probe. From the critiques, it appears that the probe is the problem and I will be ordering a couple more for the price that one of the thermometers would have cost to purchase. Hopefully, I will be back in business again as when I did use it, meats turned out perfectly.Customer Review: New Model is Defective
Summary: 1 Stars
New Model has following problems.
1. Times will not key in consecutively. If you press and hold down the key for your minutes, you will have to punch that key for EACH minute. Older models allow minutes to be entered with one press of the button.
2. The probe did NOT work and would shoot up and down by ten to 15 degrees.
3. Timer blinks and makes inappropriate noises???
4. This is a MUCH POORER product than earlier models.
5. AND OF COURSE IT IS MADE IN CHINA.
6. Company rep was very helpful but when you have a small business and this product was crucial, it is wrecking my business.
Probably won't buy again from this company.

Customer Review: No More Guess Work
Summary: 5 Stars
For anyone who tosses a coin to figure out if the roast is done-those days are over. Get the meat: Beef,chicken,pork,lamb,fish the way you want it: Rare, medium/rare, medium or well done. From hamburgers to filet mignon, from roast beef to ham, you'll get perfect results. Use it to test the temperature of your hot water. Use it to check your oven or refrig temperature. I use it in my smoker to barbeque low & slow. Use multiple meat probes for different items you're cooking in the same oven. Etc. Etc.Use the meat probes with attached wire with care! Don't slam the oven door on the wire. Don't store the probe/wire in a junk draw where it can get pinched/damaged...
Customer Review: Incorrect temperature reading
Summary: 1 Stars
I am not an experienced chef. I used this to determine temperature for a 14-pound turkey. I inserted the probe deep into the breat meat, making certain that it wasn't touching bone. The thermometer's temperature reading rose very rapidly, faster than I was led to believe with the recipe I was following. When it registered the target temperature, I had some experienced turkey cooks gauge how done the turkey was; they all agreed that it needed at least half an hour longer. When I finally removed the bird, the thermometer registered significantly higher than my target temperature, but the turkey was moist, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. I cannot recommend this product.
