 Digital Food Thermometer February 14, 2008
I've only used this once since purchasing it. But, it helped me prepare a perfect Prime Rib! Easy to set the temp desired, and easily read display. My only complaint is that the alarm is a high pitched beep, and since I have a high frequency hearing loss, I can't hear it unless I'm standing right beside it. But, I can live with that.(I have been for 35 years!!)
 Turns out this is a $2.50-per-use disposable thermometer. January 27, 2008
When I bought this thermometer I really wasn't interested in the "programmable" features. It's not that complicated. Stick probe in meat. Watch for target temperature to be reached. Remove meat from oven. And this unit accomplished that just fine, chirping when the desired temperature is reached.
The reason I bought this was to monitor temperatures without opening the oven door, pure and simple. And that's what it does -- but only for about 12 roastings, in my case, before it stopped giving an accurate reading. And not just slightly off, but wildly wrong. Busted. I've trashed it and gone back to my old fashioned, reliable, not programmable, open the oven door and peek inside, meat thermometer. Oh well.
 Worked well for about an hour August 24, 2007

I liked it well enough but, like another reviewer here, I was using it to monitor a beer mash (water and barley at about 153deg.F)and it gave out after less than an hour. Without changing anything, the temperature suddenly went from 153 to 280. It read the air temp as 210. Kudos to Amazon for a very easy return procedure. I'll give the thermometer one more chance, but next time it is a refund for me.
How do you turn it off? May 7, 2007

Maybe it's just me, but I've had this for years, and haven't ever been able to figure out how to turn it off without taking out the battery. Am I supposed to just let it slowly run down the battery? Otherwise, it works fine for me.
 So far, so good! March 29, 2007

I read alot of reviews on different thermometers and decided on this one. The probe looks pretty solid, and it works very well so far. I use it mainly on my gas grill.
