Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Taylor 9842 Commercial Waterproof Digital ThermometerCustomer Review: easy to replace battery Summary: 5 Stars
The battery clearly is easy to replace. You just pull out the battery holder, take the old battery out, & put a new one in. The thermometer must have been improved since earlier reviews, which said a screwdriver was needed.
I also noticed that the temperature reading becomes stabilized sooner when the probe is placed in the item whose temperature you're measuring, BEFORE you turn it on.
A great item. I may buy more, as gifts.
Customer Review: Dandy little device Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of those things that you might think you will never need and now you can't live without. I use it every day and it makes life easier and prevents food products from becoming over or under cooked. It reads instantly and has a wide temperature range. It can fit like a pen in a pocket. The gauge is easy to read and has different settings. The price is great on this model as well and I believe Taylor is a long established company.
Customer Review: Waterproof? Summary: 3 Stars
I bought two. One arrived with a dead battery. The other appeared to work well, but checking it a few days after use, it had failed. Upon examination, the battery compartment got wet and the area was rusty. The battery was dead to boot.
I have yet to retest the rubber (silicone?) plug that seals the battery compartment to see if there is some inherent flaw or if it is just bad luck on one attempt.
Beware.
Customer Review: Great product, Great Shipping Summary: 5 Stars
This was a gift for a friend that home brews beer. He needed a thermostat that was able to be calibrated for accuracy. Most of the ones you find in local stores do not have this feature. If they do they cost a lot more. Upon receiving this gift he opened it and calibrated it. It was only off by .1 degree F. You cannot beat the product for anywhere near this price. I recommend to anyone that need accuracy in cooking or brewing.
Customer Review: How did I ever live without it? Summary: 5 Stars
This thermometer is excellent. I can't believe I've gone so long without a good digital thermometer like this. I've used it when steaming milk for espresso, checking water temperature for bread recipes (no more guessing and killing yeast!), checking the internal temperature when microwaving leftovers, etc.
Bottom line, great thermometer, great price. If you're looking for a thermometer, look no further!
