Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Taylor Classic Roast/Yeast Thermometer
Customer Review: Awesome! Simple, accurate, inexpensive.
Summary: 5 Stars
I have one of these and I love that I can trust it to read accurately no matter what. Dial and digital thermometers are subject to failure, and I've been disappointed by faulty readings using both. A glass thermometer is completely passive, so as long as you don't break it, there's nothing to go wrong. Whether your dinner is a $6 chicken, or a $100 ribeye roast, you need / deserve tools you can trust, and you can trust this.
I have a digital meat thermometer with a remote probe that I use for grilling. I love the convenience because I can read it without opening the grill (and losing all the heat), but as stated above, it's history of flakey readings mean I use it for ballpark only. I always use the glass thermometer too, and when digital says "You're close" I start paying attention to the glass thermometer. It's okay to have more than one meat thermometer, really. ;-)
Some reviewer here on Amazon said the letters washed off her Taylor Classic Roast / Yeast Thermometer in the dishwasher. Thanks for the heads' up. I wash mine by hand.
Here's the gotcha I've found with it: There's some dispute over safe cooking temperature for poultry. The thermometer shown on Amazon lists the finish temp for poultry as 185 degrees, F. I understand that that's been USDA gospel for decades, and still the recommendation in Canada. Recently I've heard 165 degrees F is hot enough to kill the bad stuff, and see that USDA has adjusted their recommendation downward. My thermometer listed the finish temp for poultry at 165 degrees and I found out the hard way that birds cooked to 165 are way too rare for my liking. So when it comes to poultry, cook to the temperature listed in a cookbook you trust.
Bottom line: This isn't the most convenient thermometer out there, reading it takes a careful look. But on the plus side, you can trust what it says 100%. Other thermometers ... not so much. And you can't beat the price!
Happy cooking!
