5.0 out of 5 stars Effective for the cost, December 1, 2007

This thermometer was priced right and is very simple to use. Though it is not as attractive as the "gun-style" infrared thermometers, it does have the benefit of using a contact probe. I've even found that the probe is able to measure ambient temperature fairly well, but not instantaneously. Overall, I'll give it a 5/5 stars b/c of the cost, simplicity, and the benefit of the contact probe.

I had a thermometer just like this before, and it finally took one too many falls our of my sleeve pocket. It was finally time to get a new one. So, this one looks and acts just like my old one except the back isn't all deformed from being melted (wasn't me. It was an incompetent pastry person back in culinary school who melted it.).
So, yes. I work in the food industry and find that having the dual IR and probe thermometer is great. This item has a clip that allows it to stay in my chef jacket's sleeve. I thought about the gun type of IR thermometer, but for my job, this is much more convenient to get when I need it. And, accuracy on the IR is perfect for checking temps on deep fryers and refrigerators.

The probe will be useful for checking internal temperatures of meets (i.e. Prime Ribs and chicken).

Lastly, Amazon does not actually sell this item, but the shipping was super-fast. I purchased this on Sunday and received it Tuesday. Can't beat service like that. Very pleased with shipping.

I bought this on Amazon for a bargain price of around forty-eight bucks. The dealer was great too, real quick shipping. It takes surface temperatures instantly especially within close distances. I tested a cold soda can up to 3 feet as long as it was directly pointed at it. It had a margin of error in picking up temps at longer distances.

The probe temp works great reading warm and cold liquids and food, but also works decently as an air temperature probe. It's not instant but it catches air temperature changes pretty quickly as long as it hasn't been sitting in a hot car or freezer just before using it.

Overall, happy with the purchase for the price.
