Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Taylor Digital Instant-Read Pocket Thermometer
Customer Review: Water-Proof Version Available
Summary: 3 Stars
You might have noticed that the price for this thermometer was recently reduced from [money amount]down to [money amount]. That's probably because there is now a water-proof version being made. I found this new and improved version on Williams-Sonoma's website, which is selling it for [money amount].It seems as though everybodys biggest gripe about the original thermometer was its lack of resistance to fluids. The new one should solve that problem. I'm awaiting a call from my local Williams-Sonoma retail store to let me know when they have it in stock.
Customer Review: I discovered new laws of nature...
Summary: 3 Stars
I made 2 experiments using my brand new Taylor Digital Instant-Read Pocket Thermometer which I bought at Target.
First, I found out that H2O boils at 207F which is close to what I was told in school.
Second, I found out that H20 freezes at 0F [sic, Fahrenheit] which means that everything we know about nature needs to be re-evaluated.
I am awaiting to hear from the Nobel prize committee...
Customer Review: slow to read temperature
Summary: 3 Stars
For practical purposes, this thermometer is far from "instant". In fact, it takes so long to read the temperature of meats, for instance, that the plastic casing at the read-out becomes very warm by the time it finally reaches a peak temperature.Customer Review: Too slow
Summary: 3 Stars
It takes so long for this thermometer to work it's way up to the temp of the food, that the food is already cooling off... I haven't timed it, but I'd say that it takes a full minute to 2 minutes to reach the highest temp.Customer Review: Cheap thermometer
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a cheap thermometer that works well. It reads out tenths of a degree up to 100' F, then only in increments of 0.5'. The switch is curiously sharp and uncomfortable but at this price I guess I can't complain.
