Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Taylor Digital Instant-Read Pocket Thermometer
Customer Review: Great but not what I expected.
Summary: 3 Stars
I should have been wary with other reviews of the product, but I wanted to give these a shot. I picked up two of them, one for the kitchen and another for the BBQ Grill. Though they do work well and have proven to be a handy cooking utensil, they are far from an "instant read" as described.
I used suggestions from other users and leave the item turned off before inserting it into the meat. When I turn it on, it takes a a few seconds to read a temperature, then it slowly adjust continuously and never really settles on a solid temperature. In one case, it first read 125 degrees and within a minute had dropped to under 95 degrees. I have learned to wait at least a minute to get a good reading - but at least it beats my old dial type thermometer.
I would suggest this product for everyday use if you are on a budget, but make sure to use it as described above. I will keep mine for a while, but will likely purchase something better when I can afford it.
Description of Taylor Digital Instant-Read Pocket Thermometer
Make sure your meat is cooked just right, Every Time you cook. With a digital read thermometer you will know exactly when your meat is perfectly cooked.For professional accuracy, nothing beats this digital thermometer for instantly ascertaining the temperature of foods, whether they're frozen, on the buffet line, or being cooked. Its 1/3-inch LCD face, protected by a rugged polycarbonate cover, displays temperatures from minus 58degrees to 302 degrees F, and updates every second. An on/off switch prolongs the life of the 1.5-volt watch battery that powers the thermometer. (Two batteries are included.) The thermometer comes with a pocket case and has a 4-5/8-inch stainless-steel stem tipped with a temperature sensor, so the thermometer reads temperatures near a food's surface or deep inside. --Fred Brack
