This is a good thermometer and has everything going for it with one little design flaw. It is my opinion that the calibration socket should be on the bottom of the plastic sheath because if you store or carry this around as designed, it may be possible to adjust the calibration by just taking it in or out of the sheath.
That being said, it is easy to read and reads within 30 seconds.

I bought this to measure my car air conditioner temperature at the vent, and it works well for that. I calibrated the thermometer with boiling water and it was accurate. The thermometer is not poorly constructed but it’s not heavy-duty either. I gave it 4 instead of 5 starts because I feel like some care must be taken not to bang it around too much or it could fall out of calibration or become damaged. However for the price this product offers a good value. Pro tip: To get this thermometer to stay in the car air vent without spinning around, find a scrap piece of dense plastic foam, like packing foam, and cut a small piece that will stick into the air vent. Then stick the thermometer through the foam. The foam will hold the thermometer in place and keep it from spinning.

Calling all chicken people! This is what you want to buy for your wet and dry bulb temps if you are incubating chicks. I checked and it came perfectly calibrated. It was the 5th one I bought. All the others were a little cheaper pricewise, but a lot cheaper in quality. Had I believed any of the other 4 I would have killed my $200 worth of rare breed chicken eggs. Glad I got this one at last! Included a picture of the nice LARGE dial and handy calibration tool being used to check calibration. The tool has a slot at one end to slide the probe through so that you don’t have to touch it with your hands which can throw off the temp and also get you burned if you aren’t careful. It also has the built in wrench tool so that you can turn the adjustment nut should you find that you need to. Just look up your altitude adjusted boiling temp (mine is 210) and then fill a big pot with distilled water and put it on to boil. Then fill a tall glass with ice and distilled water. After 3 minutes, with the thermometer in the slot of the tool you carefully set the probe down into the water without touching it to the actual glass. It should read 32 degrees F. Make a note of what it DOES read. Take it out and let it come to room temp. Then do the same to the pot of water once it has reached a true boil. Avoid placing it directly into the path of bubbles as the steam can alter the test some. When the temp stops climbing and holds steady write that temp down. My temps were 34 and 208. So it was 2 degrees high at freeze and 2 degrees low at boil. That is OK. All that matters is that it is centered. It is set to the middle of the spectrum between freeze and boil. If it is off more one way or the other you will adjust it to get it centered.

For those that see the word OVEN and think you can _leave this in the food IN an oven_, you are mistaken! The lens is polycarbonate, not pyrex so it WILL melt. This is not that kind of probe. Open the door, insert, wait 20 or so seconds to see if the meat is at the right temp, then remove. If you need an oven proof probe, look for and Oven Proof Thermometer or similar.
Insta-Read also seems to vex users, this is a bimetallic thermometer, it is quick, but it is not instant, NO bimetallic is instant. It is however far far FAR faster than a traditional alcohol or mercury capillary tube thermometer! If you really, genuinely need ‘Instant’, get a digital probe, and then keep button cell batteries on hand for when you discover the batteries have gone dead on Thanksgiving day.
Anyway, this probe works pretty well. It is stoutly made, but not in China, instead, it’s Vietnam. The dial is easy to read meaning I don’t have to find my glasses to see what it’s reading. The crystal/lens is polycarbonate so it’s shatter resistant if you drop it on a hard floor. It comes from the factory reasonably well calibrated, mine was one degree cool. Calibration is very simple and the plastic protector sheath has the hex drive to adjust it.
If you need an exactly calibrated probe, you will need to get a ‘Certified’ one, and you won’t find one in the less than $10 range.

This dial food thermometer at 1 5/8″ wide, is much larger than the last thermometer I bought from Amazon that turned out to be only 1 ¼” wide. The 3/8″ difference in width may not seem like much, but it makes this thermometer much easier to read than the 1 1/4″ wide “Farberware BBQ Instant Read Thermometer with Large Digital Face, by Farberware”. On both, the temperature measured can be between 0 degrees and 220 degrees. There seems to be a difference of three degrees between the large one and the two small ones, so I have to believe the small ones. They each have a lock nut on the back for calibration, provided that you have a reliable reference thermometer. The metal probe on each of them is about five inches long. Not for use in an oven. Use for stovetop cooking, grill, or push at least 2 ¼ ” into food (to the dimple on stem) after removing the food from an oven, microwave oven, smoke oven or rotisserie. Let food rest for 10 to 15 minutes after cooking, to allow internal temperature to stabilize, and the juices to redistribute. This will make the meat juicier and easier to carve. Five stars.

You get what you see. Worked perfectly. I didn’t need to calibrate.

Very small dial, impossible to see once in meat at back of the oven. Very good returns service though with fast refund, so no real problem.
