Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Taylor Digital Instant-Read Pocket Thermometer
Customer Review: tough little bugger
Summary: 5 Stars
We use this thermometer in our restaurant. It's been submerged and burned (we left it near the stove top blasting 30,000 btu's) but after a few minutes of blank screen, it comes back to life. We also have an analog Taylor, and after each mishap we tested them together to see if the digital was off - so far, so good. If this $9 thermometer can stand up to the abuse we are dishing out day after day, it will last forever in a household situation.Customer Review: Got wet, broke
Summary: 1 Stars
At no point was I particularly impressed with this little device. It feels flimsy, it can be difficult to actually press some of the buttons, it's not very fast, etc. and then it broke. I turned it off, washed it off, and then it never worked correctly again. Much prefer RT600C Super-fast Water-resistant Digital Pocket ThermometerCustomer Review: I discovered new laws of nature...
Summary: 3 Stars
I made 2 experiments using my brand new Taylor Digital Instant-Read Pocket Thermometer which I bought at Target.
First, I found out that H2O boils at 207F which is close to what I was told in school.
Second, I found out that H20 freezes at 0F [sic, Fahrenheit] which means that everything we know about nature needs to be re-evaluated.
I am awaiting to hear from the Nobel prize committee...
Customer Review: Handy thermometer
Summary: 4 Stars
This thermometer is very nice but it has a couple of shortcomings. The material that covers the face will darken if exposed to too much heat. You can't use this in the oven. It isn't exactly instant either but it is quick for testing doneness in several spots. I use it most often to check water temperature when I am baking bread to assure that my yeast is in the optimum range.
Oh, don't forget to turn it off!
Customer Review: So far, so good
Summary: 5 Stars
After reading the reviews I purchased this item. Since I am careful about keeping instant read thermometers out of the water I wasn't concerned with buying a waterproof model. This thermometer hasn't let me down. You can depend on it. The only thing I can nitpick about it is that it is top heavy when you clip it to your clothing. I hooked it in an apron pocket and it kept falling over. So big deal. Buy it!
