Product Description
Amazon.com Review
First-rate in all respects, this instant-read digital thermometer is ideal for household cooks. Because it's digital, you don't need to insert it deeply for an accurate reading--just 1 inch will do--and the reading is updated every 2 seconds. Its extra-wide temperature range is -58 to 500 degrees F (-50 to 260 degrees C), with a switch to select Fahrenheit or Celsius. Buttons recall maximum/minimum temperatures, and the memory persists even when the thermometer is turned off. It features the new FDA recommended 1.5mm step-down probe tip. The Safe-T-Guard sleeve incorporates a non toxic chemical compound that inhibits the growth of pathogens which minimizes cross contamination.The thermometer operates on a replaceable watch battery (included), and can be recalibrated for long-life precision.

Faulty Battery Cover,
By A Customer
This review is from: Taylor 9878E Slim-Line Waterproof Pocket Thermometer (Kitchen)
Works well with one exception. The cover for the watch battery that powers the thermometer broke almost immediately after I got it. I have to tape it shut.

This review is from: Taylor 9878E Slim-Line Waterproof Pocket Thermometer (Kitchen)
For the money I'd expect a little more quality. I've had to tape the cover back on. Overall the thermometer was a little disappointing. It takes about 5-10 seconds to get a stable reading. It's not exactly instant read, but it seems accurate. The min and max memory is useful, but they are a little tedious to reset. On the plus side, the auto-off feature is nice since it save batteries.
Sept 9, 2011 Update: I've long since thrown away this thermometer. If anyone is looking for a much better instant read thermometer, look at the ThermoWorks Splash-Proof Super-Fast Thermapen - Instant Read Thermometer. It is available on Amazon for $93. I realize it's almost 4 times as expensive, but after using it for a couple of years now I strongly believe that it is a decision you will not regret.

Taylor Professional Thermometer shuts itself off!,
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Taylor 9878E Slim-Line Waterproof Pocket Thermometer (Kitchen)
I received my Taylor Professional [and] it appeared to be behaving normally except it shut itself off after 4 to 7 minutes even while its readings were changing. Now, it is supposed to save its battery life by shutting off if there is no change in its temperature reading for 10 minutes, but it should stay on if its readings are changing. The temperatures were no where near the extremes of the thermometer's range, so this wasn't a case of shutting down because of that. ... I e-mailed the manufacturer about the problem and was told I could return it to them for replacement. I did this and less than three weeks later received a new one from them. Surprise, surprise -- this one behaved the same way, shutting off after 4 or 5 minutes even while its readings were changing. I e-mailed Taylor again about this and suggested they check out their existing supply of this model, as I suspected they had many that were shutting down like this. ... Approximately two weeks later ... I received another package from them containing one of their model 9845 thermometers, a different model! I received no communications from Taylor about this, other than their original e-mail stating I could return my original thermometer to them for replacement. I don't know what I'll do now. I would like a properly functioning 9878 ....
