This thermometer works fine for all my kitchen tasks. I wanted one thermometer to use for everything – yeast, yogurt, candy, meat, and this does the job. Pluses: seems to be accurate, waterproof (easy to wash), auto shut-off, wide temperature range, small for easy storage. Minuses: it does take several seconds to read the final temp, the on-off button is kind of small, cannot be left in the oven (in a turkey, for example). Overall, I give it 5 stars.

I love this little thermometer. It reaches a reading within 10 seconds or so, and is accurate over a great temperature range. I use it for all kinds of things…checking my water to proof yeast, meat temperatures, candy, chocolate, and even to check the ambient temperature. It has a nice protective cover and is small and easy to store. I simply could not cook without this little helper beside me.
UPDATE: I’ve had this thermometer for almost 2 years now and it is still going strong! Seems to be very durable and has great battery life.

The readings on this are certainly not instantly accurate, though they are instantly within say 5-10 degrees, it then takes 5-10s to get it perfect, its OK for what I use it for though.
My biggest problem with this thermometer, is that it bills itself as waterproof, and it most certainly isn’t. It might be water resistant, but certainly not water proof. After two washings, it still works, but the screen has condensation and discoloration inside it, making it nearly illegible. I have added a very clear custom image of what it looks like, I urge you to take a look before buying.
I will be returning this item shortly

I wanted an instant read thermometer that I could use for meats & poultry (110 deg. – 160 deg.) and for checking temp for deep fat frying ( 300 deg. – 360 deg.) This unit has performed both functions very well, taking bumps and knocks better than standard analog pocket thermometers. Worth the money.
