Accurate to a tenth of a degree, this Pyrex digital thermometer takes the guesswork out of cooking by temperature. Made with a durable stainless-steel probe, the tool has an easy-to-read display that delivers readings from -50 to 392 F (-45 to 200 C) with a one-second delay. The plastic storage case doubles as a perpendicular holder so you can keep your fingers away from the heat source. It also includes an apron clip and a basic temperature guide for cooking meat. Simple buttons turn the power on and off and switch between Fahrenheit and Centigrade. Pyrex includes an extra battery. --Emily Bedard

2.0 out of 5 stars Great idea. But, is there water in your kitchen?, October 16, 2002

I thought this was the greatest thermometer ever, until it was very briefly immersed in water (I saw it drop, I picked it up...1-2 seconds, if that?). Dead. New battery...didn't fix it. Careful diagnosis by a small electronics expert; can't fix it. Can't return it. Now, I know not to exposure my appliances to water; but really... this is a pocket thermometer, and it was an instant. Unreturnable.

Really. A kitchen tool, a thermometer no less, that can't stand very brief exposure to moisture!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best digital thermometer ever!, September 7, 2000

We received our Pyrex Digital Instant Read Thermometer a few days ago and we are delighted with it! We have used it for everything from testing meat on the grill to checking the temperature of frosting and candy. It is simple to use and the plastic cover makes a wonderful holder to keep your hands away from steam and hot liquid.

I have similar problems with the display. It hates moisture. I bought this thermometer for use in homebrewing applications where it is necessary to hold ingredients at precise temperatures for extended periods of time... As soon as the steam rising up from the pot hits the thermometer, the display fades out and you can't read it... remove it from the steam and it works fine, at least for awhile -- but if you keep putting it back in the steam, eventally it will get too moist and you have to wait for it to dry out.
