Taylor Programmable with Timer Instant Read Wired Probe Digital, Meat, Food, Grill BBQ Cooking Kitchen Thermometer with Timer, Gray

I have had my Taylor 1470 for 2 1/2 years and this is one of the best kitchen items I have ever purchased. It takes the worry and guesswork out of roasting. No more under done or over done roasted meat. As long as you know the internal temperature you want your meat will turn out perfect. I often put meat in the oven right out of the freezer. I don't know how much longer I need to roast frozen meat so I put the probe in the roast as soon as I can get the probe in to the proper depth. You stick the sharp metal probe into the meat approximately half way through the thickest part. In a turkey or chicken that would be half way through the middle of the breast. You set the cooking temperature you want keeping in mind that the meat temperature will go up five to ten degrees while the roast is resting. Close the door of the oven which will close over the cord. That's fine. The cord can take the hot temperature. It worried me at first too. Set the digital unit on the counter or anyplace convenient. I wouldn't set it on the stove top because I don't know how high a temperature the unit can take. I used this thermometer the other day when I was heating milk to 185 degrees to make yogurt. I realized the thermometer I bought expressly for heating the yogurt wasn't working. So, I took the hook that holds the thermometer on the pot off the yogurt thermometer and slid it on the Taylor probe and hooked it to the side of the pot the milk was in. It worked perfectly and I didn't have to stand there any longer watching the temperature. I don't know if this is an approved use because you would think it would come with a hook if it was supposed to be used that way. If it's okay than I recommend that they include a removable pot hook. Or maybe that would confuse people. I believe I paid much more than the price listed now. It's worth every penny.

I have been very happy with this thermometer. It has a nice long cord with a coating of silicone. The temperature readings have been very accurate. Boiling water reads 212 F, ice water near 32 F. Readings for cooked foods seem accurate, too. It can read up to about 400 F, so it works great for checking the oil temperature when deep frying. I use it mainly for deep frying and for using in the oven. There is a switch on the back to change between Celsius and Fahrenheit. It also comes with a timer, which I don't use very often, but it works fine. I do use the temperature alert quite a bit. This allows you to set an alarm that goes off when a specified temperature is reached. The alarm is very loud, so you can hear it all through the house. I am now on my third one of these, and I have some words of warning: - Even though there is a magnet on the back, the only thing you should use it for is to stick it to your refrigerator. I was using it with my Weber grill, put the lid on the grill, and stuck the thermometer on the lid. Yes, that was foolish. The casing is plastic and plastic melts under high heat. Imagine that! That is how I ruined the first one. - The second one lasted me 7+ years. I use it a lot for deep frying, both for checking the temperature of the oil and for testing the heat of the food. It works perfectly for this, However, I tend to leave the unit too close to the oil and it gets spattered with oil quite a bit. It finally got to the point where the buttons were too gummed up with oil and didn't work very well. Because it comes with a long cord, just make sure you stretch it out to keep the unit away from the hot oil. I use mine several times a week, so as long as you take care of it, it should last you many years.

We had one of these for years and liked it, but temp indicator stopped working. Probably the probe went bad. So we bought another brand with probe and remote, thinking to carry the remote around to know when the food was done, but that remote didn't work, so all we had was the probe and temp unit. We missed the timer function on this one, and had to buy another small timer only. These two units worked ok and we lived with them for a while. I bought this unit for my wife and she loves it. I use it at the grill outside. I like that I can set it for 3 minutes for one side, turn it off with one button, flip the meat, turn it on with one button for 3 minutes on the other side without having to reset. This is a nice feature for baking snickerdoodles too, 8 min in the oven, use second timer for 2 minute rest on stove top, put cookies on rack, reload sheet, bake second round etc, with no burning. The probe has been very accurate compared to all our other thermometers. I use it in covered roasting pan to cook cheap beef cuts low & slow so they come out medium rare & tender without worrying about keeping track of roasting time or losing heat opening the oven to check for doneness. Once the roast is at right temp, oven gets turned off and rests a while to retain juices without losing heat.

Used for homebrewing. Got this since my previous one just didn't wake up one day. The timer is useful on brew day, and I needed a thermometer that uses temperature versus meat doneness. Pros: solid build, accurate enough, temp alarm setpoint, timer Cons: probe not waterproof, so have to be careful measuring liquids. I'll waterproof it myself with food-grade silicone.

Bought this less than 6 months ago. It worked great for a while. Then the temperature reading went way out. I noticed because it switched on at 41°C. I tried it in icy water, and it read 15°C (the reading on a different thermometer was 0.5°C). I changed the batteries and it didn't improve. So great for a while. Loved the ease of use, the magnet, the instant read, the alert for temperature. But there was no way to recalibrate, so probably try something else.

Great thermometer for use in the oven or in a pot of cooking jam. Easy to read and the required temperature can be set with an alarm. Suggest purchase of an extra probe as the curve in the wire of my first one cracked over time and store both pieces together in a plastic container. A good addition for cooking when you want to keep track of the temperature on a continuous basis.

use it couple of times on meat it works well but i didnt see it can use it for prawn or seafood cos it was not specified. Overall good to have one.

I have owned several types of oven thermometers and prefer the Taylor Digital Cooking Thermometer. They work well for me, giving me accurate readings and easy to use. My chicken breasts turn out perfect every time because I don't have to overcook them. One warning, they don't last forever and sometimes are hard to find in the store (hence this review on Amazon). I bought two this time because the last couple gave out when I was in the middle of cooking a meal.

This is a great unit. I would recommend it to all.

現在、無数に売られている料理用の温度計は、今回購入した商品が1台あればすべて無用になると思います。 私は、アメリカで生活していた時に使っていたものを日本に持ち帰りましたが、故障したので、今回ネットで 購入しました。とにかく、便利で最高です。何一つ欠点はありません。

Mi spiace, ma quello che è arrivato a me non funzionava e quindi l'ho restituito. Peccato, perché l'oggetto mi interessava per le sue caratteristiche e, soprattutto, il suo prezzo decisamente concorrenziale. Inoltre, la spedizione è stata rapidissima (2 giorni dopo l'ordine), considerando che arrivava dall'Inghilterra
