Questions & Answers
It's fantastic, in my opinion. I just used it again two nights ago when grilling thick New York steaks, and I used it to determine how they were done per each request, which ranged from medium rare to medium well, and everyone was pleased. My son was the first to get one and recommended it because he liked it so much. I own a brand that costs twice as much but is nowhere near as fast.
It isn't made to withstand the heat of the oven! It's designed to be inserted into the meat (or whatever you're cooking) and removed after providing an instant temperature reading.
It hasn't beeped in my life. Due to the possibility of movement, it may still fluctuate a little in the tenths of degrees. Because I only use it for cooking, I've never been concerned about tenths of a degree.

Mine is completely useless! I've sent the company two emails and have yet to hear back. I foolishly ignored Amazon's 30-day return policy because I'd written to the manufacturer, expecting them to fix a product that had never worked when I received it.
I bought it and was very pleased with it at first. After that, I used it a couple of times. It had ceased to work. I assumed I had left it on and the battery had been depleted. As a result, I replaced the battery with a completely new one. It went on for a while longer - Backlighting was also functional - and then. nothing. As if you were a doornail, you were dead. For two or three uses, this isn't a wise investment. We were hoping to replace the Weber thermometer with a more reliable instrument, but it was no better.
This thermometer gives you a temperature reading in a matter of seconds. I felt fantastic. It's now dead, four weeks after purchase (I replaced the battery to ensure that wasn't the problem). I think I've used it about 15 times. It was a huge let down. br>br>Recently updated: I've added some more details in case it's of use to others. I was unable to use the display because it had malfunctioned. I emailed customer service, who informed me that internal moisture is a common issue. They requested that I place the pen in a Ziploc bag filled with rice and remove the battery and cover. The concept is that over a 48-hour period, The rice will absorb the moisture in 72 hours. This sounded a little hokey to me at first, but I decided to give it a shot. It was successful in every way. br>br>I tried a small handful of rice the first time, but it didn't work. I used a half-quart bag of rice the second time, and it worked. Give this a shot if your display stops working and you suspect moisture is to blame. Note: My thermometer was not submerged in water. It was just next to the sink, so it didn't take much water to cause a problem.
Recipes for grain beers that call for quick and accurate temperature readings at various stages of the process. The instant read is exactly what it says it is: instant. It's a high-quality device that automatically turns on and off when the probe is unfolded or re-folded. It was folded when it was taken out of its storage place. I am very pleased with this device; it is light years ahead of the tools I had been using (there is no comparison), and I'm not sure how much better the ones selling for $100 are, but this one is all I need for home use.
This thermometer measures temperature quickly and accurately. I put it to the test in boiling water and it worked perfectly. In a matter of seconds, the temperature had stabilized. It could be made out of more durable materials. br>br> I don't use the magnet to hang from metal because it's too weak. Also, because the arm base is plastic, I grab the metal probe close to the base to reduce stress while extending the probe. Also, the handle will snugly hold the probe when fully closed, but I'm concerned that repeated openings will bend the probe, and because the swing base is so stiff, I just close it far enough to turn off the display and worry less about breakage. br>br>It does create a small hole, which is useful for preventing moisture loss.
I've had a CDN Proaccurate instant-streaming service for nearly ten years. One of my most valuable kitchen tools is the ability to read. Because of the faster speed and excellent reviews, I decided to upgrade to the Javelin Pro. In the end, I prefer my old CDN, which costs less than half as much as the Javelin Pro. br>br>This probe has a slightly faster speed, but it makes no difference in my daily use. The Javelin probe has a longer range, but I don't think that's a benefit. br>br>In addition, the Javelin's battery appears to last only a few months - Because it's so easy to turn on the backlit LCD by accident, the battery gets drained quickly. Also, changing the battery is a bit of a pain - The design isn't particularly appealing. The CDN's LCD isn't backlit, and the battery lasts a long time. So, at least in my opinion, it is not worthwhile to spend more money in this case. br>br>The build quality is excellent; I'm confident it will last for years, and it will remain in my kitchen, but I prefer the CDN.
I've tried a bunch of cheaper thermometers over the years because I'm on a tight budget. at various relatives' houses, but eventually became dissatisfied with their shaky accuracy and/or the speed with which they broke. I'm never looking back after this! This is 100% well worth the price. And it's on par with the instant thermometers I used in college in professional sensory testing kitchens. br>br>Mine has been flawless for almost a year, and it's become my go-to solution. to give as a housewarming gift to all of my friends br>br>I was concerned because it was only described as "water-resistant. " "I'm not the cleanest cook," I say, because I'm not. However, I've rinsed the entire base of mine under running water at least a few times now (only when it was particularly sticky!). ), and I can vouch for the fact that the display did not become completely waterlogged. logged or foggy, as I had feared! Normally, I just use soapy water to clean the probe portion. br>br>My only complaint is that the magnet isn't very strong, so it doesn't stick to my refrigerator without sliding down when the door is opened. (However, it would most likely adhere to a metal grill. ) I didn't remove any starts because I don't care about the magnet (it could easily be fixed by hanging it on a Command hook instead), but it's worth noting for those who are. br>br>But seriously, if you're debating between this and a less expensive model, this is the one to go with. You will not be disappointed, and it will last a long time!.
It takes about 3 seconds to get a stable reading, which is a little longer than the Thermapen but sufficient for me. The built-in backlight is useful (though it took me a few months to figure out that you can turn it on by pressing the light symbol on the device's face). That touch-up doesn't appear to be the case. A light switch is an example of a sensitive spot). The backside magnet is a nice touch (and it sticks to my Weber grill's stainless steel). We've had it for about a year and the battery is still holding up after weekly use. I would strongly suggest it. I would buy this product again without hesitation.
