Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Taylor 9842 Commercial Waterproof Digital Thermometer
Customer Review: Utterly reliable
Summary: 5 Stars
I rely on this thermometer for all of my cooking needs. It's used weekly for baking artisan breads, as well as testing meats.
Recently, I was teaching my nieces to bake artisan bread, and discovered that my sister had three non-functional thermometers (tested in boiling water, they read 145, 162, and 180). I ordered her this same thermometer (love Amazon Prime), telling her how pleased I've been with it. She can throw out the single-purpose thermometers, and enjoy a single one that really works!
You can choose F or C, and the thermometer can be calibrated (I've never needed to). For the price, I don't think you can beat this thermometer. The only way you could improve it would be to update the homely gold plastic.
Customer Review: A must have for every Chef!!!

I love this little guy!! It is one of the few thermometers that will tell you the outside temperature, while you are grilling, and give you a good excuse for another beer. :) Then you can finally grill your chicken or roasts to the proper serving temperature. It is accurate, fast, easy to read and compact enough to fit in a shirt pocket. I am a pretty good sized man and find the "little" buttons no problem to depress.
Why on earth would you ever place a plastic molded thermometer in the oven?? That is what the oven controls are for ------. However, you can always use it to probe your turkey as needed ------ but do NOT place in the oven with the bird!!!

I've owned other Taylor digital thermometers in the past. But after dropping my old thermometer many times into the liquid I was trying to measure; it met with a slow death. I was in the market for a waterproof thermometer. I'm hooked on digital quick reading thermometers and I like this particular model because of it's easy readouts and controls. The hole built into the cover is a great convenient and helps lessen my tendency to drop things. By pushing the probe through the hole it gives you a handle to better hold the thermometer with your hand away from the hot liquids. I liked this model so much I bought three and used them as stocking stuffers.Customer Review: Fast and accurate!

I've used this for measuring the temperature of meat and liquids and it performs very well. Within one second it gets to within 5-10 degrees and by about 5 seconds it's zoned in on the temperature.
The quality looks good and it has a sturdy feel about it. One drawback is that you cannot leave the thermometer in the oven, but considering how quickly this one works that's not a major issue. Besides, every one of the 'wire' thermometers I've tried where you can leave the sensor in the oven and read the temperature outside never seem to last more than a dozen or so uses.
In short, it does what it says it does and it does it well.

The Taylor 9842 instant read thermometer performs better than its price. I enjoy using a smoker and find the use of a thermometer important, especially when I have different cuts of meat on the smoker at the same time. I've used several of the lower-end thermometers. I was looking for a faster reading thermometer without having to pay for the highly touted, expensive ($80+) instant read thermometer. I have been very please with the Taylor. I have paid more for thermometers than I paid for the Taylor and but I haven't had any other thermometer that out performed this one. The temperature reading takes only about eight to ten seconds.
