Fantastic! Fast! Accurate! Best value!!
Never thought I would be so excited about a kitchen tool, but I really needed an accurate instant read thermometer, and this one is the best. This one so fast and easy I use it all the time now. I've had the so-called instant read thermometers from the grocery, and they are horrible. For only a few dollars more BUY THIS! If you ever doubt the accuracy, boil water and test it. At sea level distilled water boils at 212 degrees. Stated accuracy is +/- .9 degrees. Mine was exactly that! The 4 second response time means you don't have to hold your hand over a hot pot while a temp rises, or let all the heat out of your oven when checking meat. A friend liked it so much I'm ordering one for her as a gift. If you've read this far, stop waffling and just get it! You won't find a better or more useful thermometer. You don't really need min/max hold or beeps or buttons, and you don't need to spend double, triple, or more for a longer probe, rotating display, or backlight. This is definitely a best-buy!
