This sturdy thermometer does the job, March 22, 2002
This review is from: Taylor Waterproof Digital Thermometer (Kitchen)
I ordered this thermometer for my dad who is a dentist that makes his own dentures. I believe his use of the thermometer is more rigorous than what you would use in cooking. He has to monitor the temperature of the water that he is boilng the dentures in. If it's too hot, then they don't turn out so good. If they're undercooked, same thing. In the past, he used a mercury filled thermometer which was so darn hard to read the little lines. My brothers and I always hated being asked to go look at the temperature every 10 minutes or so. Finally, I got him this thermometer as one of his birthday presents. It is very accurate(much more than the mercury one) and the high heat doesn't bother it. He just leaves the thermometer in the boiling water and turns on the unit whenever he needs to read the temperature.
As far as cooking goes, I believe it would be an awesome tool to check the temperatures of meats to make sure the bacteria are killed. It's extremely sturdy(been stepped on and dropped a couple of times). Worth the money.
