Amazon.com Review
All the warnings about undercooked meat may leave you concerned about the safety of eating your favorite dishes. Assuage your worries by inserting about 2 inches of this slender meat thermometer into your turkey or steak. The tool registers an instant internal meat temperature on an easy-to-read, shatterproof, analog dial that is about the size of a quarter. Because the thermometer reads temperatures between 0 and 220 degrees Fahrenheit, it can be used to determine how thawed or cool meats removed from the freezer or refrigerator are at the start of cooking, how evenly meats are cooking in a microwave oven, and if meats cooked on any other heat source are done. For added precaution against bacteria, the thermometer is made of easy-to-clean stainless-steel and comes with a yellow plastic storage sleeve containing a nontoxic antibacterial agent that minimizes the chance of contamination. The plastic sleeve, when held horizontally, also acts as a heat-safe holder for the thermometer when using the probe over an open flame, and as a wrench for rotating and recalibrating the thermometer head should it get slightly off-kilter. The thermometer should be cleaned by hand with soap and water or alcohol for sterilization, and is covered by a lifetime warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

 Broken by steam! February 26, 2008
This type of thermometer is not as durable as it should be. I used it to measure a custard sauce that I was cooking over a double boiler. The slight amount of steam that it received, during the tiny amount of time that the tip of the thermometer was immersed in the custard, destroyed the thermometer. It filled with water and "died".
This is unacceptable, the thermometer should be well able to handle this type of usage.

I like this thermometer because it is fast and easy to use. I read the other review and was curious because I have not seen the anti bacterial versions at a supermarket. After I bought mine on Amazon, I checked stores to make sure I got a good deal and only saw this item at Bed Bath and Beyond. The antibacterial tube was important to me. I have calibrated it after I dropped it once, and it was fine. I called the company to see about calibrating at boiling versus freezing, and because boiling can be rolling or vigorous, each is at a slightly different temp. They said putting it in the ice water is more accurate. It is better than my meat thermometer that I leave in the meat while cooking, I like the small ticks. My beef turned out just beautiful when I used it! It was prepared perfectly, so I think I did the calibration right.

I bought one from a local grocery store. One of its claims is that it can be recalibrated -- true enough, but you can only calibrate it at one temperature. If you calibrate the temperature in ice water (32 deg. F), it's about 20 degrees off in boiling water (212 deg. F). You can't calibrate so that it will read accurately over the entire range that the unit claims to be able to measure, which means it's fairly useless.
