ProfessionaI Meat Thermometer Digital, 3X Faster 0.5 Sec Instant Read, NIST Certified Accurate to ±0.5°F, 100% Waterproof, Auto-rotating Bright Display, Auto Wake/Sleep, NSF Certified

I've ruined more chicken than I care to admit. Either pink in the middle or dry as a flip-flop. This thermometer has basically saved my family from both food poisoning and disappointment. The "less than 1 second" claim is accurate - stick it in, instant reading. The folding probe is satisfying too. Display could be slightly larger for middle-aged eyes. But that's me, not the thermometer.

Great thermo pen

The first thing I do with all thermometers, is check their accuracy. As my pictures show, I checked its ambience room temperature against my reliable mercury thermometer. A near perfect reading, just probably off by 0.2 degrees. I then boiled water and it read 101.5 degrees. I can accept that. But the thermometer has an excellent feature in which it can be calibrated by placing in insulated cup or tumbler of distilled water filled with distilled ice cubes and stir for one minute, then press two buttons simultaneously to calibrate to the 0 Celsius degrees temperature. So, I did just this, except, there was no need for calibration, the reading was 0.2 Celsius degrees. Superb. I have already used it to help me improve my milk frothing on my cappuccino and lattes where I need to have the milk at 60-68 degrees and a lamb roast where I needed the internal meat to be 74 degrees for a medium well-done cook. The probe is long and best results should be full entered into the meat then pulled back until tip is in centre. In case of curiosity, dear reader, the lamb roast and cappuccino were delicious! The display reading is large and illuminated. The illumination does time out but just move it slightly, it lights up again...seems like it has a motion sensor? The packaging is professional and thought out with perfect English grammar instructions (at least to my grammatical level of a South Londoner's English!). They even included an AA battery and screwdriver to open the battery cover door. I have not used the bottle opener so can't comment on that but that's not what I got this for and really have no desire to open bottles with a meat temperature. It comes with a lifetime guarantee as long as it is registered online. Top marks for this very useful and well calibrated kitchen device.

I am not a chef, but want to know when my food is cooked to the right temperature. I had a couple of the digital "stick" meat thermometers, that both died, possibly from someone submerging them when washing them. They were slow to get to the actual temperate of the meat, and not all that accurate. This one is great, it reads instantly, it was so fast I didn't believe it until I tested it against things of known temperature. It is accurate within spec. The thing is calibrated, and NIST traceable for the that calibration. I was very surprised, I worked in a regulated industry in the past and know what that NIST traceability means. It is not something that you will find for a cheap foreign made thermometer. The thermometer turns on when you open the probe and turns off the instant you close it. This saves battery life, and with the probe stowed, there is no chance of "stabbing" someone with it or the kids getting hurt. And oh, it's magnetic so you can stick it on the oven, or the fridge out of little one's reach. This is a well-designed and build device. It is obvious that the company takes pride in this product. It may cost of slight bit more than others, but it is worth every penny. This will probably last me a lifetime, no planned obsolescence here! Bravo to a company that actually produces a quality product in today's market!
