Excellent kitchen tool

Review Date: January 13, 2009

We use this for cooking any meat that needs a temp gage. Most reliable and easy to use we've found and we love to cook.

Great but...

I bought this wireless thermometer for my husband who's been asking for one for a long time. It works great and he loves it except for one thing: the remote pager does not display the temperature but only the time. It would be a real plus to see the temperature on the remote so he has an idea of its progress as he's doing other things around the house/yard. The device itself is sturdy and strong. The kick stand works well and the magnet is very strong. On the back of the device are temperature settings for most types of meat and poultry except fish. We still have our old probe thermometer which had the same including fish so we didn't have to look it up. But it seems strange that it had temps for everything except fish. I did a lot of research before I bought this one and it seemed to be the best and of course the best price was on Amazon, a source I can trust. Other similar devices did not allow you to set the temperature on the main device but only alerted when the meat you selected was done so you couldn't choose your own temperature. We like to set our temperature for 5 degrees lower than what is recommended because after you take the meat off the heat it continues to cook and this prevents overcooking. That is one of the main reasons why I bought this one. We are so glad we have it especially my grill master husband.

Needs Minor Improvements

The product does what it says, but lacks some minor features that would make it better. 1) The timer will count down, but not up. 2) The manual is poorly written. 3) The base unit does not send the current temperature of the meat to the remote unit. The thermometer unit needs to communicate with the base and remote wirelessly. The wire extending from the meat to outside the grill / oven is cumbersome, and precludes its use on rotisseries. All in all , a good value.

Returned it as Defective

Upon opening the package, I was skeptical about this product as it is lightweight and flimsy. I used it one time and it malfunctioned. All of the numbers on the larger unit read eight. I put in yet another set of fresh batteries and got the same result. I returned it for a refund.
