5.0 out of 5 stars WORKS GREAT
I HAVE USED THIS FOR APX. ONE YEAR & I'M VERY HAPPY WITH PERFORMANCE. LOVE THE LARGE DIAL VERY EASY READING. BOTH THE AMAZON DESCRIPTION & THE PACKAGING LABEL INDICATE THIS IS NOT INTENDED TO LEAVE IN OVEN, SO THE PREVIOUS BAD REVIEW ISN'T APPROPRIATE. CLEANS EASILY - I HAND WASH & DON'T LEAVE SUBMERGED IN WATER SO NO CONDENSATION INSIDE. GOOD PRICE TOO.

2.0 out of 5 stars Broke in less than 2 months.
I only used this thermometer a handful of times during the two months that it was functional, and it did a perfectly good job. I liked the fact that it was adjustable so that I could calibrate it when necessary. The last time I used it, I took a reading, set it down on the counter, and when I picked it up again the stem (and thus the needle) spun freely. The problem isn't...

5.0 out of 5 stars Insta-Read Is Great!, December 24, 2009

I found this item in a thrift store many years ago, and it has worked great. I did manage to crack the plastic lens somehow, and it did appear miscalibrated. I took a pair of pliers, and comparing it to my other two thermometers of this type, turned the nut on the underside to the same temp. Presto, calibrated thermometer just like that! I love that it is soo much easier to read than my other one, which is about the size of a nickel. CDN IRL220 Insta-Read Large Dial Cooking Thermometer

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Product, September 2, 2011

Great Product, worked as advertised. Very useful, no flaws that I noticed in my use of it. Very accurate as long as you stick it in the right part of the meat.

The last time I used it, I took a reading, set it down on the counter, and when I picked it up again the stem (and thus the needle) spun freely. The problem isn't with the nut that is normally used for calibrations, so it appears to be something that can't be fixed.

1.0 out of 5 stars It melted!, December 28, 2006

This review is from: CDN IRL220 InstaRead Large Dial Cooking Thermometer (Kitchen)
The large dial and room temperature on the dial seemed ideal, BUT the dial cover MELTED at 120! thereby blocking further movement of the indicator. Thank goodness we had a back up thermometer in the roast.
Obviously, do not buy this.
