Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Taylor Digital Instant-Read Pocket Thermometer
Customer Review: Taylor Instant read thermometer
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently purchased a Taylor Instant read thermometer. I use this to check the temperatures of my solar-heating devices that I have placed around my home. The thermometer works just great, and so do my solar heaters! I have recorded temperatures from 60 degrees to a high of 148!
That took a while for the thermometer to register, but I must say that it does it pretty quickly for a $7.00 device. The extra battery will come in very handy, I tend to check my heaters about once every hour or so on sunny days, but it has always done the job quickly (within 10-20 seconds because of the fluctuations...) I have found it to be about the best $7 I have spent in a while! The shipping was quick, and it arrived in great shape too. Overall, I am very happy with the product, would recommend it to anyone doing this kind of work or any reasonable temperature checking.
I found it to be a great deal. SJL, New Jersey
Customer Review: Fantastic Customer Service!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had this thermometer for about 3 months, I've used it frequently and it has worked perfectly. The battery died but no problem since the manufacturer included a spare battery with purchase. However, when I went to change it, I realized the battery case had been inadvertently glued down & I was unable to replace the battery. Googled the manufacturer (Taylor), filled out an inquiry on their website and WITHIN MINUTES received a response that they would mail me a new thermometer! AMAZING Customer Service! I honestly didn't even expect to get a response for such a small time purchase but I try to let a company know when I see a problem so they have a chance to address it. Quality issues are going to happen but this is a company that really backs their products! I'll be looking for the TAYLOR brand on future purchases.Customer Review: For $8.99 easily a 5 star buy
Summary: 5 Stars
I wanted a digital thermometer just to use for my grill, got tired of forgetting to bring the "in the house thermometer" back in, and getting yelled at about it.
Our normal thermometer is a pro model, and is pretty much an "instant" reading, but it cost a heck of a lot more than this one.
I`ve found in comparison testing it reads just within a degree of the more expensive model, only it takes 15 to 30 seconds to do so.
Also don`t drop it, which I`ve done about 5 times now, the top pops off, easy to put back on, but it worries me someday it will go kaput, but then again dropping any thermometer is not recommended, need klutz training.
Overall for $8.99 a sure winner for a backup, or as I`ve done, a grill related thermometer.

Customer Review: My Favorite Kitchen Gadget
Summary: 5 Stars
After reading customer reviews on other digital thermometers and realizing that ALL thermometers are not created equally, I ordered this Taylor digital. It more than met my needs and overcame the drawbacks of others: It is small enough to fit easily into a drawer and can be carried in a shirt pocket; it is extremely easy to clean; since the digital readout is on the flat "head", the temperature is VERY easy to read without having to bend over or read it upside down; it has an ON/OFF button to save the battery and it comes with an extra battery included. Although the description says "instant-read", you do have to watch the read-out climb (quickly) to the current temperature. I'll never have tough, over-cooked meat again.Customer Review: Great for grilling
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this thermometer and have used it several times. I was a user of the "light tree" fork prior to this purchase. Worth the investment. I have cooked perfect meat that is done the way everyone likes it. No more guessing!!! I have had no undercooked steaks or dread the well done. No matter how you like yours cooked from rare to well done you will love this little thermometer. The digital readout and instant read are great. You won't have time to stand over the grill any longer than you have to. You absolutely have to love the fact you are cooking the meat hot enough for the safety aspect also.
