Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

So many raves about this ThermoPro TP-16 Large LCD Digital Cooking Food Thermometer. So unlikely too. I had a similar Taylor unit for several years, but it finally died. With all the kudos for the ThermoPro, it seemed like the unit to get. I liked that the probe withstood a higher temperature and had a lifetime replacement warranty. Lightly cleaned the probe by hand before its first use, making sure to keep water out of it. Went to use the unit for its debut run in some chicken I was baking and...nada. Zip. Nothing. DOA. The probe registers no temperature. Not a thing. No numbers even show on the face, though other controls and display items of the unit function. Sort of useless if it displays no temperature. It makes me sick that we're inundated by fragile Chinese electronics that wither and die so readily. Avoid like the plague.
