A useful tool for any busy kitchen, this commercial-quality roasting and baking thermometer conveniently indicates when food has approached its desired temperature and when it has fully cooked. To use, simply set the programmable thermometer using the push-button control panel on the base unit, insert the probe into the food (at least 1-1/2 inches), and place the food into a preheated oven (or on the barbecue or smoker). Both the set and current internal-food temperature will appear on the easy-to-read backlit LCD screen. The probe connects to the base unit with a thin heat- and break-resistant Silicone-coated wire (which should be kept away from open flames and direct contact with cooking surfaces).
Unlike other thermometers, the digital unit comes with a wireless remote pager, which allows the cook to receive notifications, even from up to 200 feet away, making it possible to visit with guests in the family room or to continue with other culinary tasks while effortlessly monitoring cooking temperatures. The base unit and remote pager beep and flash when food is close to done (the remote will also vibrate). Three beeps means food is 20 degrees from being done; five beeps means it's 10 degrees from being done; a constant beep indicates food has finished cooking. The base unit's user-friendly control panel consists of a "meat" button for various meat options (beef's the default), a "taste" button to scroll through the taste choices, "min" and "hr" options for setting the time, and a "timer" option for using the base as a kitchen timer (39 hour, 59 minute, 59 second). Other highlights include a temperature range of 32 to 450 degrees F (0 to 232 degrees C), the option to switch between degrees F and C readouts, and volume control on the remote pager. The base unit comes with a stand and a magnet for convenient placement options; the remote pager supplies a lanyard, clip, stand, and magnet. Two AAA batteries for the base unit and two AAA batteries for the remote pager are also included. With its sleek, modern look, the wireless remote thermometer measures approximately 1-4/5 by 8-1/5 by 10-1/5 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.
Product Description
Finally, a Taylor roasting and baking thermometer with a wireless remote pager. You can be up to 200 feet away from your oven, BBQ , or Smoker and still be alerted that your food is nearing the desired temperature and again when the food is done. The remote alarm is in the form of a sound alert, a vibrating alert, and even a visual light alert. You can see the internal food temperature on the base unit without opening your oven's door-keeps heat in and temperatures up for faster, more efficient roasting .The temperature range is 32 degrees F to 392 degrees F and switches to 0 degrees to 232 degrees C. The base unit has a backlight for easy reading in all types of light. The remote comes with volume control, and lanyard plus a stand, clip, and magnet for mounting .The base unit also be used as a kitchen timer .The cable sensor probe for inside the oven has a heat resistant/break resistant Silicone cord. The 147921 comes with Remote Pager. Helpful hints-The meat probe is a thin wire coated in Silicone. Be very careful not to crimp this wire in the oven- door , BBQ top ,or Smoker door. The probe , like all in the industry , should be kept away from flame flare-ups and contact with cooking surfaces. Another tip- be sure to insert the probe into the meat at least 1.5 inches. This insures that you will get the correct readings at all times.

Addressing Concerns,
This review is from: Taylor 1479 Commercial Wireless Remote Digital Food Thermometer (Kitchen)
I am an Engineer at Taylor and would like to address the issues communicated in the 1 star reviews.
Large fluctuating or inaccurate temperature readings: We have found that in some cases the probes are not completely inserted into the meat being cooked. We recommend that if you get fluctuating readings or temperatures that do not seem correct push the probe in further so that it is submerged past the taper point on the probe. This should eliminate any fluctuations in readings and will insure that the sensor is well into the meat to give you a proper internal temperature. Error reading instead of temperature reading: Although the design of the probe is meant to be rugged, these probes can be damaged in the following ways: A) Submerging the probe in water while cleaning. Moisture can get inside the probe and damage the unit causing the error reading when the probe is plugged in. Make sure you DO NOT submerge the probe in the sink, use your sponge to clean the probe keeping the wire end out of the water, it can get splashed, just not submerged. B) Pulling on the cord to remove the probe from the meat. The probe has a 90° angle shape to assist in proper removal using an oven mitt protected hand. We find that many users do not have a mitt or hot pot holder handy at the time they want to remove the probe, so they grab the cord and pull. This can and most likely will damage the probe and cause an error reading. Please handle your probe with care when removing it from food and when washing it. C)Smashing the cord in the grill lid. The cord is rugged to withstand some smashing and high temperatures, however, it can be damaged by getting smashed by the lid of a grill. The damage is not likely to happen with an oven door, but the grill lid can damage the cord. There are usually holes in the sides of grill lids that have gaps when the lids are closed. Users should slowly close the grill lid with one hand while aligning the cord so that it sits in the side hole and does not get smashed. D)Exposing the probe to temperatures above 500°F. The probe is meant to take internal readings of food and is not meant to take grill surface or internal grill air temperatures. If the probe is left exposed on the grill surface it can easily reach very high temperatures that will permanently damage the sensor. All of the probes that we have gotten returned due to the error reading message were found to have been damaged due to one or more of the above findings. Please handle your thermometer with care and you should be able to get years of service from it. If you do damage your probe you can contact Taylor customer service and purchase a replacement. Taking care to properly use, clean, and protect your instrument will give your product a long life and it, it turn, will give you great cooking results.

Cooks' Illustrated's #1 works for me!,
This review is from: Taylor 1479 Commercial Wireless Remote Digital Food Thermometer (Kitchen)
Just finished reading my copy of Cooks' Illustrated and I see they've listed this wireless as their new #1 thermometer, knocking off the previous title holder. I love this piece and am glad to see the experts think so too. It's compact and works well. I love the backlight and that the remote beeps, vibrates and flashes a light for the various pre-alerts I've set for cooking. I use it more indoors than for BBQ's, but it's clearly a great piece and by a company who knows thermometers. I have other Taylor items too.

a great helper!,
By Beth (madison, wi) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Taylor 1479 Commercial Wireless Remote Digital Food Thermometer (Kitchen)
I purchased this item at another retailer (wish I would have gotten it here!) and have used it twice already. The price was great! I had a corded one before that didn't have the remote, but wanted to try this. I used it on the grill to cook some chicken and had no problem with the cord at all. It was great because I didn't have to constantly run to the grill to check the temp -- I did once but then realized I didn't have to and waited for the beeps (and it was cold out). The chicken breast turned out well. I used it in the oven this weekend for a roast, and again, it was great. The meat was done really well and cooked just the way we like it. I like that I don't have to spend all my time in the kitchen checking and checking the temperature. I truly didn't worry about the roast until I got the beeps. Can't wait to try it again for the holidays
