Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Taylor Digital Instant-Read Pocket Thermometer
Customer Review: Great for grilling
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this thermometer and have used it several times. I was a user of the "light tree" fork prior to this purchase. Worth the investment. I have cooked perfect meat that is done the way everyone likes it. No more guessing!!! I have had no undercooked steaks or dread the well done. No matter how you like yours cooked from rare to well done you will love this little thermometer. The digital readout and instant read are great. You won't have time to stand over the grill any longer than you have to. You absolutely have to love the fact you are cooking the meat hot enough for the safety aspect also.Customer Review: Taylor Digital Instant-Read Pocket Thermometer
Summary: 1 Stars
Purchased two (2) of these items through amazon.com. When I used one it would shut off in a few seconds, before it got up to temperature. After times of this I went to change batteries, "didn't know what else to do".
I opened the case to change the battery and the wires had been hot glued to the battery and battery holder. Whence trying to remove the glue ed in battery the holder, which is also the battery ground, broke off.I have through to many times of trying to return defective items,SO-OO I through it in the trash. I have not tried the other on as of yet!!!
Customer Review: Get one with auto off
Summary: 1 Stars
This one is doesn't work when it gets hot or wet (and where do you use YOUR thermometer?).
Also, it is very easy to leave it "on" draining the batteries. Replacement batteries cost nearly as much as the thermometer itself.
I have another Taylor (unfortunately, there is no model number on it). It is auto off and saves the MAX and MIN temperatures. The MAX is helpful when I want to check I steak on my HOT! grill. I can hold the thermometer with a pair of thongs without burning my hands.
This one is just plain useless.
Customer Review: Water-Proof Version Available
Summary: 3 Stars
You might have noticed that the price for this thermometer was recently reduced from [money amount]down to [money amount]. That's probably because there is now a water-proof version being made. I found this new and improved version on Williams-Sonoma's website, which is selling it for [money amount].It seems as though everybodys biggest gripe about the original thermometer was its lack of resistance to fluids. The new one should solve that problem. I'm awaiting a call from my local Williams-Sonoma retail store to let me know when they have it in stock.
Customer Review: Broken on arrival
Summary: 1 Stars
I wanted to get a digital candy thermometer for increased accuracy when I cook.
Some reviewers suggested that this thermometer was unreliable. I should have given those reviews more weight and walked away.
This thermometer was a huge disappointment.
It was flimsy
It read 72.8 degrees F when repeatedly immersed in a 280 degree candy preparation. Most of the time the LED display would blank, so I had no reading.
It is in the trash
I'm back with my mercury thermometer.
