Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Taylor Classic Instant-Read Pocket Thermometer
Customer Review: simple to use and accurate
Summary: 4 Stars
Yes, to the user who gave this a bad review because the plastic melted, you moron! The directions clearly state not to put the thermometer inside the oven, leave in liquid while cooking, and not to put in dishwasher. Only negative was the high shipping cost more than item. Item came quick, but then I saw the same thermometer for $6 at Stop and Shop. Use the ice and cold water to calibrate to 32 degrees and you are ready to go!Customer Review: Sturdy and reliable
Summary: 4 Stars
This thing lasted through an accidental spin in the food processor. Besides that durable aspect, it's straightforward and uncomplicated so it's a no brainer to use. But the gauge slows down as it gets closer to the actual temperature- so be patient for several seconds as it climbs up towards the final reading. It's not like weighing fruit at the grocery and getting a quick reading off the scale...Customer Review: the industry standard - for good reason
Summary: 4 Stars
I've had this thermometer for a while and I test it every so often for ice water (0 degrees) and boiling water (212) and it never wavers by more than 3 degrees. Its very simple and tough. The only limitation is perhaps that it takes a bit of time to read the temp, maybe 15 seconds. Skip the batteries, the infrared, and fork shaped thermometers. Stick to Taylor or their subsidiary Trutemp.Customer Review: Smaller than I thought it would be.
Summary: 4 Stars
Overall pretty accurate. Don't rely on the picture to guess how big it is though. Can't be more than 5 inches long, so if you are using it for anything other than meat temps it may not be enough.
Feels cheap and the dial can be difficult to read. But it does the job at a cheap price.
Customer Review: useful tool
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased one of these and then promptly destroyed it. The face is plastic and should not remain in the oven. I melted the face. I purchased another and love it. Use it to test the temperature for bread and doneness for meat. Next time I will read all the other reviews more carefully!
