[TOP RATED] Cooking Thermometer, Century Chef Digital Stainless Cooking Thermometer with Instant Read, Long Collapsible Probe, LCD Screen, Best for Food, Meat, Grill, BBQ, Milk & Bath Water

I love to cook, but getting meat to the right temperature has always been a problem for me. I've bought the giant dial meat thermometers for when I bake roasts, turkey breast, etc, but they seem to last one or two times and then when I go to dig it out of the kitchen drawer it doesn't work again. I like the fact this is so quick to give a read on the temp. It seems to be accurate- I tested it on boiling water first, and had no problems. I've used it a few times making dinner- once on a pork loin- so hard to tell if it is done- this worked beautifully! I had no doubt dinner was done! I do like the addition of the handy dandy magnet so I can store it on the side of the fridge as I'm afraid to put it in the utensil drawer. I wish it was a bit easier to store, so that's why I took off one star.

I love to cook and have learned that a meat thermometer is essential to making sure your meat is cooked properly, especially with chicken and pork. This digital thermometer is so easy to use! You just unfold it and it automatically turns on and you put the probe into the meat. The temperature reading appears quickly and accurately. I compared this product to a much more expensive and complicated meat thermometer that I own and this reached the accurate temperature with the same rate of speed. I used this thermometer the other night when I cooked some chicken breasts and they turned out so juicy! It's really easy to clean and doesn't take up much storage space. I also like that the thermometer automatically shuts off if you accidentally leave it open. I would definitely recommend this product!

This digital meat thermometer from Century Chef has a lot of good features. To switch it from Fahrenheit to Celsius, there is a small switch under the battery cover. It claimed to read between -58 to 572 degrees F and -50 to 300 degrees C. I have not had a chance to test if that is true. There is a magnet on the back so you can put it on your fridge for easy access. The display is easy to read and it does not take long to get your temp. In fact, I thought it was much faster than a lot of other instant read thermometers I've had. I also like that there is a meat temperature guide right on the thermometer for reference. The probe folds up for safety and it saves space. If you leave it on when you fold it up, it automatically turns on when you pull it back out but there is an optional on/off button. The auto shutoff after 10 minutes does work and it saves battery in case you forget to turn it off. I'm very happy with it and would recommend.

I can see why this thermometer is top rated. The main reason is the cost. I would have given it a 5 star, however this isn't an instant read and takes a few seconds to actually come to temp. It's also fairly accurate only differing from my other thermometers, including my infrared, by just a few degrees. Also, the probe is spring loaded and doesn't allow it to be held at a 90° angle, which is awkward. All in all a decent thermometer for the money.

I often like to cook Briskets, whole chickens, but I get kinda scared of the temperature as far as it being cooked enough. In the oven I never guess this right and always have to put the meat back in. Even on the grill you have to cut it up in pieces trying to figure out if its cooked right. Well not anymore. This meat thermometer is accurate and a great add to my cooking gadgets that makes my life easier. I've tried it on a variety of things I love the convenience of the magnet as it can be stored on the fridge for easy use and it is very fast at recording temperatures.

I received my Century Chef Thermometer a few days ago. I was able to cook with it and tested a few different things. I made a steak medium rare... and it was done to perfection. Also made a souffle cake and it was perfectly done as well. I am going to purchase it for my daughter so she can test it out as well. A perfect tool for the kitchen. Also there is a magnet on the back so I hung it up on the side of my refrigerator. Great value and easy to use. Love it!

This digital instant read thermometer is just as advertised. It seems very accurate and is very quick to register. I got tired of the leave in meat thermometers that are never accurate and finally purchased this Century Chef and I am very happy with it. I have used it for several weeks and had perfect results for a change. The readout is easy to see, even without my glasses! The way it folds up protects the probe very well.

Quick and easy temp reading!! I have been wanting a digital meat thermometer for a long time and I am so thrilled I finally invested in one! This one is is easy to use and works quickly.What I love: it automatically turns on/off when the temp probe is ejected or pushed back in. The probe is quite long and allows you to measure temp without burning your hand off, especially in a BBQ ( I attached a photo of the thermometer in front of a standard size box of tissues so you can see the size.). The display is very large and easy to read as well,. It also has the temps listed for each meat along the side.What I don't like: Nothing. It's great and I am thrilled to have it!
