TaylorPrecision Products Digital Turbo Read Thermocouple Thermometer with Folding Probe, Yellow

Exactly what I expected. Great value.

nice quality

The digital a is so essential and small one useful sometime. The biggest one never used but already needle just swinging everywhere.

I've had this for a few months now and it has changed the way I use an instant-read thermometer. For years we used the analog ones with a nickel-sized dial; they were hard to read and we were never sure of the accuracy -- in fact we'd get readings 10 degrees apart when we'd try both on the same dish. After noticing some expensive digital models in a cooking supply store, I researched this on Amazon and it looked like a sound bet at about half the price. It works well and the large readout, quick response, and hinged probe make it way more useful than the old analog thermometers. For example, I used it this weekend on a rolled and stuffed chicken breast. Without the thermometer I would have taken it out 20 minutes too early and had a mess on my hands; with one of my old analogues I would have not trusted the low reading. With the Taylor, it took all of about 15 seconds to open the oven, place the probe, confirm that the center was too cool, close up the oven and reset the timer. I checked two more times and nailed it -- the chicken and cheesy stuffing were perfect. So after years of cooking with thermometers that still left us making "guesswork" decisions, we finally have what we really needed!

Just purchased, tried to use for first time and does not work. Cannot remove battery cover to determine if it’s the battery. No option to return. A complete waste of $.
