Product Description

Keep the oven door closed to keep heat inside, yet know the precise temperature of the food you're cooking! How is it possible? Thanks to the cable and probe which links food temperature information to the digital display, that's how. Additionally this device functions as a 24 hour timer. Set the timer or the temperature and the alarm will let you know when the food is ready. The large LCD read out is clearly visible whether you mount this to a magnetic surface or let it sit on your counter. This Pyrex Accessories 2-in-1 thermometer/timer allows you to measure the temperature (in Celsius or Fahrenheit) of your food as it cooks--without opening the oven door. A thin cord attaches the commercial-quality probe to a digital display screen that sits on your countertop. The true beauty of this gadget is that a timer sounds once the preset temperature of the food is reached, allowing you to read in the other room without having to continually check the temperature reading. This gadget works equally well on the stovetop, and also functions as a simple digital kitchen timer. An adjustable display stand lets you swivel the screen to the angle of your liking, while a magnet on the back of the stand gives you the convenient option to place or store the display on your refrigerator. Too bad the ensemble doesn't have a neat contraption to store the timer and probe together; the nature of the probe makes it difficult to coil, so you end up with a cumbersome mess in the kitchen drawer.

My thermometer conked out too. I just spoke with a Robinson Home Products customer service rep. She could not have been nicer. She is sending a couple of probes to me today at no charge. Call 800-245-2433, press 3 for customer service.

This review is from: Oneida 31161 Digital Thermometer & Timer

I have used my Oneida digital thermometer for serveral years and was about to head back to Bed, Bath and Beyond to replace it when I read the review by Mel (copied below) giving the phone number for Robinson. I called, explained the problem (Thermo Temp always reads HI or LO) and the customer service rep immediately said "Yeah, that's the probe. We'll send you a new one." Fanstastic response!

I have used this thermometer to be able to get medium-rare roasts and steaks, for bread and for candy. I highly recommend it. If you have a problem, call the excellent customer service.

3.0 out of 5 stars Works Well, March 29, 2010

This review is from: Oneida 31161 Digital Thermometer & Timer

Pros: Loud alarm, easy to read display, strong magnets to stick to refrigerator
Cons: Cannot set seconds for use as timer

I like having a device I can use regularly as a kitchen timer and as an alarmed meat thermometer when I need to. The thermometer part can be plugged and unplugged, so when the thermometer is unplugged, it is just like a single-function timer.

The back has 2 strong magnets that hold well to my refrigerator. It also works well on a counter top with the hinged display.

My calibration check was within 1 degree F for both boiling water and ice water. Has C/F switch on back.

For use as a timer, there are buttons to set the hours and minutes, but there is no way to set the seconds. The seconds are displayed as it counts down, but you can only time whole minutes. So you can cook a 2-minute egg or a 3-minute egg, but if you like 2-1/2 minute eggs, you should look for a different timer.

All buttons are easy to use.
