flintronicMeat Thermometer, Instant Read Cooking Thermometer, Cooking Thermometer with Foldable Long Probe and Backlight Screen, Perfect for Kitchen Cooking, BBQ, Water,Meat, Milk (Black)

I've only just received it but it seems robust enough to last.- I find the swing-out probe easier to handle than the fixed [straight] thermometer I used to use.- I really do not understand the review that claimed this was "very poor quality". Its design & manufacture seem fine to me.It needs an AAA battery [which is not included].- I haven't yet managed to find a low battery to test the "LOB" indicator that the instructions mention.It seems to agree with my old [mercury] kitchen thermometer so I assume that means it's correct.- It's default reading is in Celcius so there's no messing about to do. [The instructions tell you how to swap it to Fahrenheit if you need to.]- It is supposedly accurate to whole degrees. That's more than good enough for me.- It also displays points of a degree which is handy for helping you to see when the reading has settled down. [But don't expect that final digit itself to be stable, the thermometer is not that accurate.]- I haven't bothered to run the calibration procedure. [I can only guess but perhaps the complaint in another review about it not calibrating correctly was caused by an incorrect expectation that it would calibrate to within 0.1C rather than the 1C that it is actually capable of.]- The instructions contain a list of 'correct' temperatures for various foods but I haven't bothered checking if the list is correct.It takes 10 seconds to give a settled reading.- It's more or less there [within a degree] after 5 secs. So that's going to be good enough for me in practice.- It takes a minute to settle back down to show the room temperature after use [even if it is shaken or wiped clean]. So that will stop me fussing every few seconds re-checking things unnecessarily.The auto-on/off works.- It turns itself on when you unfold the probe than it turns itself off when you fold the probe back against the body.- It can be a bit awkward using the off button. The auto-on does not work the next time until you manually turn it on once using the button then allow it to turn itself off again by folding the probe back against the body again.--- Hanging it up ---- The magnet is OK and holds the thing firmly enough to cope with a few accidental knocks.- The hole to "Hang in a nail or hook" is also OK.- The supposed hole "used for hanging rope" is poorly positioned and, in my opinion, unusable. Anything thicker than 2mm will foul the probe and anything lose will foul the probe as it is swung out.

A lovely bit of kit that will ensure proper temperatures for my cooked food

I got this food temperature probe in a deal for £5 and I must say for the price I paid I'm really impressed. It's very accurate and quick to check temperature within seconds. Some reviews said it was slow when checking the temperature of food and not accurate and it was Poorly made but I think it's decent made. I tried it on sirloin steak and wanted it medium so I checked what the temperature should be on the leaflet that came with the probe and I think It says 165c for medium and my steak came out perfect. 👍

Bought for checking water temp for bread making. Does the job, what can I say.Discovered this year it also covers the range of temps for jam making too, so I was super pleased I didn’t have to go out and buy yet another kitchen gadget.

I've been cooking for over 40 years and never felt the need for a meat thermometer, however I have on occasion had overcooked meat, especially chicken. When cooking roasts I generally use Delia's cooking times, which are mostly spot on.However since buying this thermometer I recently cooked another chicken (it's my kids' favourite) and checked the temperature a good 20 minutes before the time I'd calculated. It indicated that the chicken was cooked, but being aware of the dangers of eating uncooked chicken, put it back in the oven for another 10 minutes. Big mistake. While not inedible it wasn't the pleasant, moist meat I like to get from a chicken, but rather dry and slightly fibrous.So based on the only use so far, I'd say it's giving accurate results and easy to use (just like in the product description).

I like this product, but I have found the probe has got stuck in my meat which has pulled the silver probe out of the device exposing the wires inside, luckily I've managed to push it back together - this has happened twice now - so cheap and cheerful

This product was fine at first but after using it for a while, about 20times it basically fell apart.The thermometer end just came loose and all the wires were left hanging down so it went straight into the bin.Very poor quality, I know it wasn’t an expensive product but for general household use it should be better than it was.DONT BUY ONE, it won’t last long. I am going to have to buy a better quality one.

I decided to make some yoghurt and this came in very handy I had tried to make it with a jam thermometer but that didn't go down enough, this one worked well and have made some good yoghurt.

Lässt sich auch gut reinigen. Wird für Babymilch genommen. Ist zu empfehlen.

Solide, précis.Un vrai aide culinaire

Varans beskrivning delger inte att termometern inte kan användas i ugn utan antyder att så är fallet.Att varan inte går eller inte får användas som termometer i ugn står explicit och uttryckligt i den tekniska manualen.Extra minus: varan verkar ha fastnat i Amazons retursystem.

Doet het perfect en dat voor die prijs

It’s nothing fancy but it works.
