Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Taylor Classic Style Meat Dial Thermometer
Customer Review: Sturdy, easy to read, accuracy short lived?
Summary: 3 Stars
When I brought one of these home a few years ago, I was very pleased with it. It was easy to read, sturdy as a fireplug and had a "test" mark on the scale at boiling-point so at any time I could be sure it was reading accurately. I used it for 3-4 years, and it always checked-out in a pan of boiling water when I'd test it. Life was good and so was dinner. But how long do you expect it to last? Are they supposed to be replaced every every 3-4 years? I'd have liked it to last longer...
Last Christmas, before sinking the thermometer into the Christmas ribeye roast, I checked it in a pan of boiling water and found it was reading 12 degrees cool. Yikes, I could have over-cooked and ruined $100 worth of meat if I hadn't known to pull it out of the oven 12 degrees cooler than I had planned. After dinner that night I threw the thermometer away.
Owing to it's build quality, I think this is the best of the dial-read meat-thermometers. It lasted better than the Pyrex thermometer we had before it. But none of these stay accurate forever. The needles get sticky or something else goes out of whack, and then they're useless.
I've had bad luck with digital thermometers too, so I replaced the Taylor dial thermometer with an old fashioned glass / alcohol thermometer (Taylor Classic Roast/Yeast Thermometer). I checked the new thermometer's accuracy and it was dead on. If no one breaks it, it will remain accurate forever. Yes, the glass thermometers are a little trickier to read ... but when you have a house full of dinner guests, and an expensive roast in the oven, what's more important: an accurate reading? Or an inaccurate reading at a glance? I'll take the former.
Happy cooking ...
Description of Taylor Classic Style Meat Dial Thermometer
Looks crisp and done on the outside, but what about the center? Trust this dependably accurate device to remove the guesswork.This thermometer takes the guesswork out of cooking meats and poultry. Its easy-to-read 2-3/4-inch dial measures temperatures from 120 to 200 degrees F. A guide on the dial's face shows proper meat and poultry temperatures, from rare beef to well-done turkey, and a red arrow on the rim can be moved to a desired temperature as a reminder. The thermometer is made of stainless steel, has a 4-1/2-inch stem, and is dishwasher-safe. --Fred Brack
