I ordered her this same thermometer (love Amazon Prime), telling her how pleased I've been with it. I rely on this thermometer for all of my cooking needs. She can throw out the single-purpose thermometers, and enjoy a single one that really works.You can choose F or C, and the thermometer can be calibrated (I've never needed to). It's used weekly for baking artisan breads, as well as testing meats. Recently, I was teaching my nieces to bake artisan bread, and discovered that my sister had three non-functional thermometers (tested in boiling water, they read 145, 162, and 180). For the price, I don't think you can beat this thermometer. The only way you could improve it would be to update the homely gold plastic.
Doing it that way makes the reading come up almost immediately. I am very happy with this thermometer. I did take someones advice about dipping it into the liquid before turning it on. It is extremely accurate and easy to use. This little thermometer has made my cheese making so much easier.
This is the best food thermometer that I have come across. Its a bit expensive but I feel that it is worth it for the high quality.
I pray that we can get back to good quality controlled USA made products. For nearly 30 years, I've used Taylor and other brand thermometers for checking the temperature of baby bird food, which must not be too hot or it will burn their delicate crop tissue - and not too cool to where they won't eat enough. It's going back on the slow boat to China. I liked the length of it since it fit good inside a mug that is half full. I thought Taylor was US made. It might still be ON if the battery holds out.As others have noted, it is slow compared to other products and other Taylor digital thermometers.
I try very hard not to buy Chinese or Mexican products, but it's almost unavoidable. I've only had this waterproof thermometer for about a month and it is already not "dead", but constantly "live" and won't shut off. I'm so tired of out-of-country JUNK. The on button was always hard to depress. The readout was ok.no better than any other. If I can do without them, I do.
Not so.
I've used it successfully on a variety of meats (beef, poultry & pork) and each one has come out exactly as I wanted. I bought this thermometer to replace an aging analog variant. Right out of the packaging it read 212 degrees F in a pot of boiling water. The antibacterial shield provides an extra layer of comfort. I have not had any of the moisture problems other reviewers have mentioned.
