Summary: 4 Stars
As has been my experience with other Taylor products, this is a solidly constructed dial thermometer. The dial measures 2 3/4" in diameter and provides easy to see readings in the range of 120°F to 212°F. The thermometer is pretty well-sealed and I have no instances where water leaked into the thermometer while it was being cleaned.
I've used this primarily for oven-cooked meat dishes and the temperature readings have been pretty much on the mark. Note that proper placement of this thermometer into an appropriate spot is the key to reliable readings.
Although it was a nice feature while it lasted, the red metal pointer quickly fell off and was never to be seen again. Outside of that minor setback, the thermometer performed admirably and accurately for almost a year. Recently though, the needle started spinning as the dial was rotated and had no correlation to the temperature it was supposed to measure.
The silver lining to the mechanical breakdown, and the reason why I rate this thermometer so highly, is Taylor's customer service. I sent Taylor's customer service an e-mail describing the problem and asking about their warranty process. Their reply was to ask for my mailing address so they could send me a replacement and to ask that I throw away the defective thermometer.
I can confidently recommend this Taylor product with four stars based on this great customer support, my prompt receipt of the replacement thermometer, and the consistent performance from this product.
Customer Review: Great Thermometer But Be Careful When Washing..
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great meat thermometer. I used this while cooking a corned beef brisket in a pot. It takes a few seconds for it to get an acurate read but it works well. The construction is sturdy and its easy to read. When using it to test the temp. of my corned beef simmering in the pot the display tended to fog up a bit, but I think that would happen to any meat thermometer when put too close to steam.
Only downside is when I washed it, some water got underneath the disply and into the unit itself. I was able to shake it out but it was not easy. I would recommend washing this thermometer carefully and not running direct water over the display or submerging it.
