CDNProAccurate® Instant Read Digital Pocket Thermometer with 2.75" Stainless Steel Tip for Accurate Temperature Measurement, Red (DT450X-R)

I had this one before, but lost it during a move and had to repurchase it. Excellent. Quick read, accurate (I've checked it with other thermometers), and it has recommended temperatures printed on its sides. Highest recommendation. A very useful kitchen tool.

I would recommend this to anyone looking into buying it.

Very accurate readings. Will buy again if replacement is needed.

Like this for ease of use and the recommended meat temps posted on the side of the unit.

Have used it a few times and have compared it's reading to another meat probe with very close readings.

Meets requirements for food safety according to our inspector. It works, it’s not expensive and it’s effective. Compact is a plus.Only downside is small buttons and the “safe temps” printed on it run off quickly.

This thermometer was great until the battery died (which was pretty quick considering my partner never remembers to shut it off, and I can’t tell whether it has an auto off function but I’d often find it sitting on the counter still on). The enclosure containing the battery is a hassle to unscrew considering the soft plastic becomes stripped almost instantly if you try using a metal screwdriver. I worked with a variety of items until I could get it open and, lo and behold, my replacement battery was the wrong kind (my fault - the customer questions/responses are misleading, but the product description mentions LR44 so I should have looked there). Since the plastic is already stripped, this thing will survive for one more battery at most, so I’m just ordering a different thermometer. Shame that one poorly designed element makes this thing essentially disposable

Works good accurate readings would buy again

Have found temperature readings to be very accurate. Easy to use and nice features, particularly the waterproof feature. Purchased to replace a thermometer made by same company, that died after 7 years due to operator error, that was slightly larger overall and had a slightly larger temperature screen, which is the only thing I wish this new thermometer had. It's readable but a bigger temperature screen would be nice. Overall, very satisfied.

It works well, but it takes a while to register the temperature, I'd say 10-20 seconds. I like to attach the cap to the other end of the thermometer when I'm using it in the barbecue, giving me a little more distance between the heat of the grill and my hands.

I use this in brewing, it seems accurate and works well, 4 instead of 5 stars as now after a few months if it is placed in hot liquid too long the device won't display the temp, all the LCD light up so you get 8888 instead of 66.7 for example, it's easy to correct, just by cooling it down and re-immersing in the liquid you want to take the temp of. A longer handle would be good as well so I could keep my hand away from very hot liquids.

easy to use

I was surprised that this thermometer was short but it worked well for the roast that I bought which was 4lbs. Nice and easy to store.
