I absolutely love this probe thermometer. I’ve used versions of this make/model for several years now. It’s very accurate, easy to set, and produces perfectly cooked meat – if you know the settings you like. It defaults to USDA recommendations which are overly safe and a bit high for my taste. Example: Pork = 165 F. But it’s easy to pick a meat and then back the temp down a few degrees.
I replaced the same make/model that I used for at least 3 years. It just died on me. But I used it almost every day and many times multiple times per day. So it was good use of my money. The prior model had to sit for several seconds before you could turn it off – kind of weird. This new one has an on/off switch – much more convenient. But the prior one always turned on to the last setting. The new one always turns on to 212 F. That’s a bit of a pain since I usually cook chicken, pork or beef. I’m not sure I would ever cook anything to 212 F. Also, the new one has buttons and switches that seem more convenient.

This thermometer is fantastic. It really does do everything you need.
Pros: It does everything you need out of a meat thermometer, and rings when the desired temperature is reached.
Cons:
1. The recommended temperature for each of the meats seems awfully high. As a result, I don’t use these temperatures, but rather set my desired temperatures manually. It’s very simple to do this.
2. The magnet fell off the back for me.
Extreme Pro: i-Tronics. I e-mailed their customer support line about the magnet and they sent me a new one, very quickly at that. Truly A+ customer support. Hope to buy from i-Tronics again sometime.

After years of cooking meat based on estimated times, buying this thermometer completely changed the quality of my cooking. Being able to either set a target time or temperature has helped take the guessing out of whether a cut of meat has been cooked through or not. Little things, like have both a stand and magnet on the device, go a long way in making it convenient to use and store. I don’t have a way to verify the accuracy of the thermometer, but it definitely isn’t resulting in overcooked meat, and I don’t have food poisoning yet – so that’s a good sign.

I love being able to stick the probe into the meat and come back when I hear it go off. I’m not very good at judging ‘done’ when it comes to steaks and porks so this is a kitchen essential for me. This is the 2nd one I’ve ordered.
The downside to it is that it isn’t as durable as I”d like–I got 4 years out the last one, which isn’t very long given that I don’t use it more than 2-3 times a week. You need to be careful of the probe cord–it shouldn’t be allowed to kink, or get pinched so thing about how you can store it.
One other thing that could be better–this really only works on dense items, like meats. If you try to stick it in, say, a frozen casserole, once the food has thawed, the probe won’t stay in position very well. Ditto if you have a very thin piece of meat, it will flop over. I can get around this by holding the probe in the right position and closing the over door to catch the probe cord to hold it in place, but it would be nice if they would make a clip or something that would hold it on the side of dishes.
Presets are handy, and you can tweak them–i.e. 145 is fish, but I like my salmon a bit drier so I select fish and then raise the temp a few degrees. Alarm is nice and loud and it stays on as long as the temp exceeds your selected setting.

When I first got this I used it mainly for roasts and it is fantastic for that purpose. Insert it into the deepest part of the meat and cook until it reached the minimum internal temperature. Always resulted in very juicy, delicious roasts.
Had this for about 8 months and the probe began acting strange (giving sporadic results such as 170, then jumping to 60, then 120 etc). Came back to the page and contacted the seller and they are sending me a replacement probe free of charge. Have not got it yet but assuming I’m more gentle with it, hopefully it will last longer.
If you often cook roasts, I believe you will like this product

UPDATE: After this review.
Well, I like it but I’m not in love with it. I still want a more expensive one; however, it works.
1) Calibrate it before using it. Mine is about four degrees off. I found instructions for calibrating on the Internet. I used boiling water and crushed ice water. Because I didn’t do this until after I cooked – I pulled the food too early. I should’ve trusted my experience — I could tell it was too early just by looking at it.
2) TOUGH cookie. It’s gotta be well made because I made a big goof. I packed to cook at someone else’s house and in haste forgot that I had stored this thermometer in the bottom of a roasting pan, below the rack. Rack and turkey went into a 450 F oven. Soon, maybe less than 3 minutes, I heard “beep beep beep”, and to my horror I remembered it was my new thermometer IN the oven. We rushed to pull it out and the face of the thermometer was seriously blackened about 1/3 of the way up from the bottom. I went on and forgot about it. 2 days later, I unpacked and found it. The screen was no longer black. I recalibrated it and it appears to be working just fine. WORKING! I’ll retest on next cook but I am so surprised and glad I did not throw it away.
3) I did have to change out the batteries after one use. Not surprised that the battery that comes with it didn’t last long. I’ve used four times since and even forgot and left it on for hours, still going on the second battery.
4) The cable that attaches to the the probe is thin and kinks easily. So, it’s a bit awkward and feels delicate.
Overall, I would buy it again… especially for the price.

I will update as I use this temperature probe more; for now, here are my first impressions.
Excellent packaging. Pristine. Very well done for a product out of China, one I suspect is private labeled. So often, packaging is not first quality and the English instructions reveal the poor attention to details, and in general the product presents as CHEAP. Not this product. It’s gift quality! I should say, when there ARE instructions at all – this one HAS instructions done just right.
I am happy that a starter AAA battery was included. Didn’t really expect that these days.
I have wanted one of these ever since I saw Alton Brown use one on his show years ago but I wouldn’t pay the $$$. This price enticed me to try it. And I did try it out …. right away.
It’s simple to use, not overly complicated with options. Switches on the back allow you to choose Fahrenheit or Celsius, and between Off, Timer, or Temperature Probe. Buttons on the top control settings for timer hours and minutes (no seconds), and setting the goal temperature. There are preset options for food such as poultry, but those settings are way off anything I’m accustomed to using. (180F for poultry? That’s a dry bird in the end.)
The display panel is big, easy to see, and shows both the current temperature and the goal cooking temperature. Love that I can judge how far I’ve got to go to serve.
The alarm that goes off when the temperature is reached is not very loud. That’s my only criticism. I don’t think I would hear it over music or washing dishes. I’ll have to pay attention and check on it. But that’s really OK by me.
Out of the box, I started probing everything. My coffee (113F), my water(70F), my hot water tap (133F!!), and the temperature of the brine water for the turkeys(45F)!!! (I added more ice to the brine immediately. No worries, folks.) I am happily surprised to see the temperature range go that low. (The high is 700F.) The probe reacted quickly with hardly a delay as I checked different food items.
I’ll be cooking a lot this week – two turkeys, fudge, candy(see PS below!!)…etc I’ll come back and let y’all know how it does.
P.S. When I cook candies I won’t be relying on this alone as it is NOT designed to be submerged in liquids. I don’t want to risk damaging the probe or cable. But I will be using it to double check my hard-to-read candy thermometer. I’ll just hand hold this new temperature probe, pop it in and pop it out. It’s all good.

We’ve been stuck in the dark ages using one of those old timey stick it in and watch the gauge move AFTER you pull the dish out of the oven of whatever it is you’re checking… such a HASSLE! This thing? Wow! I don’t even have to get UP to check it! IT lets me know when my roast is done – and my goodness, the distraction of getting up and down to check and check and check – ok, maybe that’s some exaggerating, but really – I was SO tickled that there was an alarm on this! Seriously, I’m easily amused, but this thermometer is so easy to use and it does EVERYTHING as described! I’m buying a few as gifts for Christmas as my girlfriend is stuck in time too! If you are even thinking about this product, you need it and will love it!

This kitchen thermometer is super easy to use right out of the box. It took some getting used to remember to keep it out when cooking fish, hamburgers, chicken, etc. But it is so easy to use. Just set the thermometer to the temperature you need for the meat you are cooking and insert the probe as needed or you can leave it in the meat. That’s it. Thermometer alerts you once the correct temperature has been reached. We love using it in the kitchen or on the grill. It has a magnet so it can be stored on the side of the refrigerator and the probe wraps up nicely to be stored in the kitchen drawer.

This thermometer is a piece of garbage. When i first received, I inserted the battery that came with the package and tried to turn it on – and it didn’t work. I suspected the battery might the the problem ( a cheap model from China) so I inserted a Duracell battery instead and it worked. I then tried it on a roast turkey breast, using the preset temperature setting for poultry (165 F). The buzzer went off about half an hour before I estimated it should be ready, so I tested it with an instant-read thermometer – and sure enough, it registered 120 F – i.e. still raw. This is far from the first meat thermometer I have bought but it is by far the very worst.
Update: I tried it again, this time on a roast loin of pork, and once again, the buzzer went off long before it was cooked – about 20 minutes in the oven. The product does not work, period.

I love this for all my grilling meats from pork tenderloins, tri tip steak or roasts, chicken, etc. I love that I can make 1 stick, leave the probe in the meat & literally watch the temp rise when it’s close to being done. We love Med Rare beef, so this saves me every time & never fails!
Great in the oven too for anything from a casserole to whole chicken, meatloaf or anything you want to see the current temp & not have to stick it multiple times & lose precious juices.
