Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Taylor 1479 Commercial Wireless Remote Digital Food ThermometerCustomer Review: Addressing Concerns Summary: 5 Stars
I am an Engineer at Taylor and would like to address the issues communicated in the 1 star reviews.
Large fluctuating or inaccurate temperature readings: We have found that in some cases the probes are not completely inserted into the meat being cooked. We recommend that if you get fluctuating readings or temperatures that do not seem correct push the probe in further so that it is submerged past the taper point on the probe. This should eliminate any fluctuations in readings and will insure that the sensor is well into the meat to give you a proper internal temperature.
Error reading instead of temperature reading: Although the design of the probe is meant to be rugged, these probes can be damaged in the following ways:
A) Submerging the probe in water while cleaning. Moisture can get inside the probe and damage the unit causing the error reading when the probe is plugged in. Make sure you DO NOT submerge the probe in the sink, use your sponge to clean the probe keeping the wire end out of the water, it can get splashed, just not submerged.
B) Pulling on the cord to remove the probe from the meat. The probe has a 90° angle shape to assist in proper removal using an oven mitt protected hand. We find that many users do not have a mitt or hot pot holder handy at the time they want to remove the probe, so they grab the cord and pull. This can and most likely will damage the probe and cause an error reading. Please handle your probe with care when removing it from food and when washing it.
C)Smashing the cord in the grill lid. The cord is rugged to withstand some smashing and high temperatures, however, it can be damaged by getting smashed by the lid of a grill. The damage is not likely to happen with an oven door, but the grill lid can damage the cord. There are usually holes in the sides of grill lids that have gaps when the lids are closed. Users should slowly close the grill lid with one hand while aligning the cord so that it sits in the side hole and does not get smashed.
D)Exposing the probe to temperatures above 500°F. The probe is meant to take internal readings of food and is not meant to take grill surface or internal grill air temperatures. If the probe is left exposed on the grill surface it can easily reach very high temperatures that will permanently damage the sensor.
All of the probes that we have gotten returned due to the error reading message were found to have been damaged due to one or more of the above findings. Please handle your thermometer with care and you should be able to get years of service from it. If you do damage your probe you can contact Taylor customer service and purchase a replacement.
Taking care to properly use, clean, and protect your instrument will give your product a long life and it, it turn, will give you great cooking results.
Description of Taylor 1479 Commercial Wireless Remote Digital Food ThermometerFinally, a Taylor roasting and baking thermometer with a wireless remote pager. You can be up to 200 feet away from your oven, BBQ , or Smoker and still be alerted that your food is nearing the desired temperature and again when the food is done. The remote alarm is in the form of a sound alert, a vibrating alert, and even a visual light alert. You can see the internal food temperature on the base unit without opening your oven's door-keeps heat in and temperatures up for faster, more efficient roasting .The temperature range is 32 degrees F to 392 degrees F and switches to 0 degrees to 232 degrees C. The base unit has a backlight for easy reading in all types of light. The remote comes with volume control, and lanyard plus a stand, clip, and magnet for mounting .The base unit also be used as a kitchen timer .The cable sensor probe for inside the oven has a heat resistant/break resistant Silicone cord. The 147921 comes with Remote Pager. Helpful hints-The meat probe is a thin wire coated in Silicone. Be very careful not to crimp this wire in the oven- door , BBQ top ,or Smoker door. The probe , like all in the industry , should be kept away from flame flare-ups and contact with cooking surfaces. Another tip- be sure to insert the probe into the meat at least 1.5 inches. This insures that you will get the correct readings at all times.
