 I Must Have Gotten A Good One November 16, 2008
I was disappointed to see the other reviews of this product. I purchased it without reading any reviews and I've had no problems with it. I used it to check the temp of lemon curd. It's accurate and works fine. After reading the other reviews, I tried it on ice water and didn't have any problems. I do love the display. The big numbers are nice. It also has a nice feel in your hand.
 Instant thermometer instantly quit working. September 2, 2008
I bought this digital thermometer several months ago and used it once on the same day I purchased it. It worked fine . . . but only that first time. Well, actually, that first time I used it, it did not seem to want to allow itself to be turned off, but I figured that didn't matter because the thermometer had an "auto-off" feature that would turn it off automatically after some short period of non-use.
Today, I took the thermometer from the drawer to use for the only the second time. The digital display just blinked at me, without showing any numbers. The device was completely unresponsive to any and all pressing of its buttons.
So I called the Taylor customer service number on the Taylor website. As soon as I described the symptoms, the customer service representative immediately told me that Taylor would send me a new device within two to three weeks, that I could just toss the old one in the trash.
Great . . . except I wonder if the new thermometer will work any longer than the old one. Will it poop out after just one use, too? So instead of a one star review for selling a product that fails after one use, Taylor gets a two star review for promising promptly to send me a free replacement, with no questions asked (even though the time I wasted on the phone was worth more to me than the purchase price).
If I had it to do over again, I wouldn't buy this thing because it wouldn't work when it was needed.
 Great, handy tool August 23, 2008
While it's not really "instant," this is a handy and fairly accurate thermometer. It's easy to use, easy to read, easy to clean, etc. I used to use a candy thermometer to test meat temperature -- this is quite a step up!
 Junk, run from this item December 22, 2007
This is a piece of junk sold for top dollar. Ordered it. It came packaged perfectly from amazon in the bubble wrappers. When I opened the box, the item was damaged. It is mostly made of plastic and appears to break easily. I promptly returned it for a refunded and decided against ordering another one. Ths honestly is a $1.99 item.
Taking it back October 22, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I bought this product at Williams-Sonoma and am taking it back after 1 day. When I got it home I tested it by putting the tip in ice water which produced a range of temperatures from 22 to 34 degrees. The display would show one temp for about 30 seconds then change. Obviously 22 degrees was very wrong, this was a cup of cold water with a few ice cubes in it. I would have understood a steady temp of 33 or 34, not 22.
When I tested it by putting the tip in boiling water, it showed a more reliable steady result.
The real disappointment came when I tested it on a steak I was cooking. The first time I checked it, the result was 110 degrees. After another minute of cooking I checked again and it showed 80 degrees!
Back to the store it goes.
I think I'll have to break down and buy the Thermapen.
