Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Taylor Commercial Waterproof Digital Thermometer
Customer Review: First one a lemon
Summary: 3 Stars
First one said our Christmas turkey was at 222 degrees! Tried ice water . Read LLL . At Taylor website no error code listed. Calibration screw did nothing.It said ambient air temp was 37 degrees and kept searching. Sent it back -Amazon paid for the mail back. Another sent within a day. This one was ok out of the box . Haven't used it long enough to report on reliability or accuracy.Our old CDN non digital still functions and has one feature sorely lacking on the Taylor-a scale for what temperature Beef or Poultry should be cooked to , i.e. 120, 175. Amazon had me worrying about whether this item would get here for the holiday. I ordered it well within their arrival guidlines for free shipping. It was not mailed for a full 4 days after I orederd and was slated for arrival on Christmas eve. Well when it was mailed it got here in a day (from Seattle to Portland, two days early , and perhaps they knew it would get here that fast, but it felt like a roll of the dice to me , not exactly what you need for Christmas .Customer Review: Taylor Digital Thermometer Review

I measured the temp of all kinds of foods while I'm cooking them, seems pretty accurate and reasonably fast.Customer Review: Slow and not very durable
Summary: 2 Stars
I used this for about 7 months as an 'instant read' thermometer for bread coming out of my brick oven as well as a milk thermometer for my morning lattes. As the temperature creeps up slowly on the milk steaming, it worked fine for that. But, when I wanted an instant read, it easily took 10 seconds or more to get an instant reading on bread that was at an internal temperature of around 190 degrees. It was frustratingly slow for this application. Same goes for oil for frying. I don't want to hold my hand over hot oil for 10+ seconds if I can avoid it. Use the old-fashioned Taylor for that, which I love. This unit broke after 7 months because the battery connection inside the unit failed. I handled it gently and it broke. I would not buy this again. Looking for a better unit.Customer Review: difficult to calibrate
Summary: 4 Stars
The one thing that dogs me about this thermometer is that i couldn't calibrate it to 32 degree F. It seems to be off by 0.1 degree. That is how close i could get it to 32. Even after keeping it under ice it could only go up to 32.1 and i couldn't fix it. I hope that wouldn't matter when i use it regularly..
