Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Taylor 1470 Digital Cooking Thermometer/Timer
Customer Review: Works fine for me - Can't live without it
Summary: 5 Stars
Well, it seems that the major complaint here is that the thermometer has a "short life". I must totally disagree with this. I have had mine for about 2 years, and I have had no problems at all. In fact, I left the thing out in the rain about a month ago, while it was still on, for about 8 hours, and it still works fine. I thought I had managed to kill it, because it acted funny for about 2 days, but I think it just needed to dry out. I even checked it against 2 quick-reads, and it was dead-on with the temperature.
I was a chef at a restaurant for about a year, and I really wish I would have had this when I worked there. Sure, I got pretty good at the "touch" method (which is very dependent on the cut of meat), but there were the occasional overdone steaks and dry chicken breasts. The biggest problem was whole beef tenderloins. Those had to be done by time, since we couldn't press on them, and then after they cooked for a while we could use quick-reads, but that was just a hassle.
Now I just cook for family and friends, and I think this thermometer has made me an even better cook. I use it all the time for any piece of meat I cook, and I have yet to have a steak come out overdone, a chicken (whole or pieces) come out dry, or any piece of pork be dry and bland. Everything is perfect, and people ask me how I do it. I gladly show them the thermometer and how basically you stick the probe in, set the desired temp, and forget about it. I say I am a better cook for 2 reasons. First, the "set it and forget it" ease of use. All you have to know is what temperature your desired doneness is at, and you really can forget about what you are doing. Which leads me to point 2: Since I am not constantly worrying about the meat temps and times, I can focus on making fantastic sauces and side dishes, which is a skill I have greatly improved
So... I recommend this to anyone who wants to have a perfect piece of meat, every time, with no hassles.
Description of Taylor 1470 Digital Cooking Thermometer/Timer
This thermometer with probe allows you to gauge the internal temperature of whatever you are cooking without opening the oven door, which is convenient and saves energy (as well as saving your face from a blast of heat). It also has a timer so you can be reminded when it's time to go check for doneness.Opening the oven to check on a food's temperature means wasting the cook's time and losing oven temperature and moisture--not to mention a face full of steam. This thermometer prevents those problems. Insert the instrument's 6-inch stainless-steel probe into a roast beef or turkey and monitor the time and temperature (from 32 to 392 degrees F) on the thermometer's large digital display, which connects to the probe with a 4-foot cord. The control panel sets cooking time and temperature, and an alarm sounds when either is reached. Fully opened, the thermometer/timer is 5 inches high, but it folds flat for compact storage. Magnets on the back permit it to be temporarily mounted on a metal surface. --Fred Brack
