My words are my own, and this review is based upon my personal experience with this item. I also reserve the right to add to, or change my review as I continue to use the product. ~

The temp seems to be accurate but the meat probe just slides right off the base. I went to check a pork shoulder and slid the probe into the meat, when I went to pull it out the probe disconnected from the base exposing the wires. I have to pull the probe out bu the metal to keep this from happening. It also takes a very long time to get the temp, it's not instant. 3 stars.

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.

It lasted 2 years then died. It helped a lot while grilling. The temperature chart on the side of the product is off. All the temps are a bit high leading to overcooked meat.

Have you used this product a few times since receiving it!! Very easy to use. Quick read and big enough display...even I can see it!! ;) Nice handle for good gripping. Folds to fit nicely in gadget drawer. So far I have tried it on chicken and steak both with perfect temperature readings. Great directions for use are given for those who might be challenged such as myself!! ;) I would have given this 5 stars but I wanted the orange one and I received black which is perfectly fine as it still works the same!! Would recommend to family and friends!!

I've never used a thermometer before and usually went with the idea of "does it look done?" Which is easy for me but hard to explain to my husband. Plus when using this method, you have to cut the meat and if it isn't done you risk having it dry out. So, I've been meaning to get one just for peace of mind mainly when cooking chicken. I LOVE this digital meat thermometer. It calculates the temperature very quickly and has a long temp probe so my hand isn't left near extremely hott food. My mother in law was impressed with the speed it calculated at and has since ordered one for herself. I also really like that there is a degree chart with and on it so I don't have to search google every time I go to use it! It has auto shut off as well, so if you're like me and your mind is moving a mile a minute and you don't turn it off, the battery won't die.Another plus, (because sometimes I'm tacky, lol) It's got a magnetic back. So it's great to keep on the fridge (and use as a magnet to hold important papers up). 😬You really won't regret purchasing this. It's really awesome to work with. (And who doesn't love orange!!)

Just okay....the metal stick part doesn't like to stay folded when not in use and the battery compartment door falls off too. The meat safety temperatures written on the thermometer are inaccurate, and it takes awhile to rise to the correct reading. Overall it works, but wish I had gone with something else. You can find better.
