Amazon.com Review
This thermometer instantly ascertains the temperature of foods, whether they're on the buffet line or being cooked. Its 1-inch dial, protected by a shatterproof plastic lens, displays temperatures from 0 to 220 degrees F. The thermometer comes with a pocket case and has a 5-inch stainless-steel stem. Should it seem to be off kilter, the thermometer can be recalibrated by twisting the hexagonal hub beneath the dial with pliers. --Fred Brack

 Not accurate August 13, 2010

I got this product hoping that I could use it for a temp range of 110 to 165 but it is not close to accurate over a span of temps.
 Cheap - Lasted 2 weeks May 21, 2010
Lorelei (Virginia)
I bought this to check the temperature of bread. After two weeks of being used maybe 3-4 times a week (during which time it worked perfectly), I pulled it out of the drawer to see it reading 40 degrees. I recalibrated it to read 70 as shown by my thermostat and inserted in to my bread loaf and it read no higher than 140 degrees, though a finished loaf should read between 185 and 210. My bread was quite browned on top and when I sliced in, it was cooked through. So this thing is definitely no longer giving accurate readings. I wouldn't waste the money on something that won't work after a handful of uses.
Waste of Money! May 5, 2010
Joellyn St Pierre (Virginia Beach, VA USA)
This made in China item is a complete waste of money. Came out of the package reading 40 degrees. Re-calibrated it and placed in boiling water. Then it read 80 degrees. Useless. I'm returning it to Amazon at their expense. Save yourself the trouble and pass this by!
Arrive Defective May 2, 2010
Thomas Kiefer (Boston, Ma)
Arrived stuck at 100 degrees F - would not budge. Sent back to American distributor company one month ago, but have not received replacement. Made in China, of course.
Very large margin of error April 15, 2010
C. Stewart
As received it read 40 degrees when set in a glass of slush (a mixture of crushed ice and water). I adjusted it to 32 degrees and then inserted it in a pan of boiling water. It read 202 degrees. Since slush is exactly 32 degrees and boiling water is 212 degrees I was very disappointed with it (using the above described technique is one way to accurately calibrate a thermometer). I wanted this item for yeast proofing but since the accuracy is so bad I won't be using it for that (I wanted something closer to 2 degree accuracy).
