Rösle Digital Thermometer

Replaced older Rosle SS chef thermometer that failed after 6+ years of daily professional use. Was the best of its class. Just received a new one which is an embarrassment to not only Rosle but to me as well for spending this much on a sloppy plastic remake of an originally brilliant product. This is the first negative product review I’ve ever written in my life. As a life long Rosle customer, I will be finding another brand as I feel totally ripped off by what passes off as a professional grade thermometer at this price.

On the practical side it is accurate. In boiling water it reads 212 deg F (exactly what it is supposed to at sea level), fluctuating only 0.2 deg above and below. It can display in degrees F or C. A backlight comes on when you turn it on, so you can read it grilling meat outside for diner or heating up milk for baby in the middle of the night. It shuts off by itself if you forget. Numbers are large and easy to read. It is fast, reading with a second or so. Temperature range covers both meat and candy temperatures. It is small, no bulky round dial on the end, so it takes up little space in the drawer. It has a loop on the end to hang it up. Stainless steel.On the aesthetic side it is beautiful to look at and a pleasure to use.It is expensive, but it cost less than the three cheepos I threw out that didn't work. They were the dial type and when the round part turned on the post it would move the temperature dial all over the place. Easier to justify the cost in terms of perfectly cooked meat, perfectly heated milk for baby, and creamy fudge.A practical luxury. I use it everyday and love it.Update: May 2017. After approximately 10 years, my thermometer quit. Changed the batteries, nope. Coming from a family of engineers, I cleaned the contact (center pin down inside the battery compartment) with a little rubbing alcohol for a minute until it was shiny, not dull. Wiped the screw-in cap as well, as it is part of the connection. Works great. Shiny stainless still looks new. Still accurate. Used to use it to check the temperature of milk for baby, now he is almost 9. Such a pleasure to have something that is beautiful and just works and works. Used 2 Energizer silver oxide 357/303.Purchased in 2008, 2009 and as a gift in 2012.

This is a very nice, durable thermometer. I've tested it in boiling water and against a high end tire pyrometer (used for testing tires) and other thermometers. Very consistent and precise. I use this to set the temperature that I press coffee at and my coffee always comes out superb. I've used this to measure temperatures in the room (always matches my digital WiFi thermostats), attic temps, and especially cooking meats in the oven and Komado style grill. Our steaks turn out superb (rare just the way we like them) over and over again and guests rave about our BBQ dinners. This is one of my most used and must-have implements in my kitchen.

Bought this thermometer because of my personal experience with other Rosle products even though there are less expensive thermometers on the market! I figured I probably would not be disappointed and so far I'm not! Excellent product, very easy to use, simple to clean and takes up very little space in a drawer - I store mine in a cute little wooden box with my other Rosle tools on my counter. I have used it to check mainly meats on the barbecue and in the oven and it has been accurate every time and meats have been perfect. A bit pricey but then what in life isn't if you buy quality?

My cheaper thermometer would take 30-40 seconds before getting a reading. This ROSLE thermometer generates temperature reading within a few seconds. Great product!

I got this for its sleek look and quick digital read. I was also excited bout the shape of it in hopes that it would fit into the arm pocket of my chef jacket. Unfortunately, it is just too long. It's not convenient to carry around a kitchen. The only thing protecting the tip is a small rubber piece that is not easy to hold onto. Aside from all that, the instant and accurate read is nice for baking and pastry.

WANTED SOMETHING A LITTLE CHEAPER THAN ONE OF THOSE HIGH DOLLAR PROBES AND THIS ONE HAS FIT THE BILL. NOT QUITE AS FAST MAYBE BUT FAST ENOUGH FOR MY NEEDS. I COOK A LOT OF CHICKEN AND PORK AND I DON'T WANT TO COOK IT UNTIL IT'S DRY SO THIS GADGET COMES IN HANDY. I'VE BEEN USING IT QUITE A BIT LATELY AND I AM VERY PLEASED SO FAR. IT'S A COMFORT TO KNOW I'M NOT GOING TO SEND MY FAMILY TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM.

I've owned about 6 or 7 of this thermometer. We've ruined a couple by mistakenly forgetting and leaving then in the oven, or, when we first started using them, leaving them too close to the side of an extremely hot pan.That said, if treated with reasonable care, this is an accurate, attractive, handy little instant read thermometer.The button placement could be better, but aside from that, it's a great little gadget.

Laut der auf der Rösle Homepage herunterladbaren Bedienungsanleitung gilt für Gourmet-Thermometer 16245 eine 10-jährige Garantie. Gemäß beiliegender Bedienungsanleitung sollen es nun aber nur 2 Jahre sein. Anstatt ~30€ für das Gourmet-Thermometer 16245 zu zahlen würde ich demnach eher für ~25€ zum Gourmet-Thermometer 25066 greifen. Dieses soll laut Rösle Homepage 3 Jahre Garantie haben, wobei in den verlinkten Garantiebedingungen von 2 Jahre die Rede ist. Für mich waren die 10 Jahre Garantie das ausschlagende Kaufkriterium.

I really like this thermometer. It has a wide range of sensitivity and works brilliantly with all sorts of food. the temperature reading is fast, very accurate and easily read. Finally it's really easy to clean. All in all an excellent piece of kit for the serious cook.

Pull it out of the cutlery drawer and stick it in the meat. No brainer and useful as well. Steaks are now just right and juicier as they are not overcooked.

Works as expected - good product

Nach dem Defekt unseres etwa 8 Jahre alten Rösle Kochthermometer, bestellten wir dieses scheinbar baugleiche Ersatzprodukt. Die Verarbeitungsqualität des uns nun gelieferten Thermometers ist mit dem alten, sauber verarbeiteten Gerät nicht vergleichbar. Das alte Kochthermometer war verschraubt, das neue ist nur gesteckt. Schon beim Versuch, die Plastikfolie, die zwischen den beiden Knopfzellen steckte zu entfernen, verschob sich das Innenleben des Thermometer derart, dass die beiden Druckknöpfe auf der Rückseite zum Ein-/Ausschalten und Umstellen der Temperatur von Celsius auf Fahrenheit nicht mehr zu bedienen waren. Die Hülle ließ sich jedoch leicht wieder in die korrekte Position schieben. Auch ist ist das obere Ende der Hülle, in der der Deckel mit den Batterien gesteckt wird, scharfkantig! Nun, sinnvoll ist das insgesamt nicht! Wir haben mehr als 40 Rösle-Produkte und sind von der Qualität überzeugt. Hier wird jedoch eindeutig nicht nur am falschen Ende gespart, die Konstruktion überzeugt überhaupt nicht! Ware geht zurück!
