2.0 out of 5 stars Function is great, rubber probe connection broke twice for me., May 5, 2009

By	Retired Doc "love to cook" (Hawaii) - See all my reviews

I really like the functionality of the thermometer. Easy to program. Much better than some of the other thermometers that I have had, BUT the "cord / wire " breaks too easily. I have now bought two of these thermometers, I am extremely careful with the probe and especially careful not to put any pressure or bending at the wired end of the probe but both have fractured at this site.

I have other thermometers that I do not like as well functionally and they have a wired mess over the cord or a protective cover at the site where the probe ends and the wire begins. These have lasted forever. AND you cannot use a probe from a different thermometer. They are not interchangeable.

I would give this a 10 star if they coukld fix their probe/wire connection problem.

4.0 out of 5 stars Remember to baste!, January 6, 2009

By	K. Palmer "Kitchen Diva" (Coppell, Texas) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This talking digital thermometer is so much fun to use. If you are not interested in hearing "It's time to baste", or "your food will be ready in..." or several other audio responses throughout the cooking time, you can turn off the voice mode. The unit itself shows you the internal temperature of the meat you are cooking,and anticipates how long it will take to cook. For issues of safety cooking pork and poultry, it always selects well done for you. For beef, you decide how you want to cook it depending on your tastes. My daughter-in-law was the first to use it in her oven, my son uses it when he is grilling and my newest DIL received one as a gift this Christmas from me.

The probe goes into the meat, and the cord from the probe to the unit stays partly in the oven after the oven door is closed. I thought it would melt, but it was just fine. However, my son does not close the grill cover on it. He just uses it to poke the meat and check the temperature. The only thing I would recommend is that when your food is "done", move the probe to another spot to recheck the temperature. In the beginning, you have to learn where to place the probe to get the best temp reading.Also I do not like the "stand" it has, so I just place it flat on the countertop next to the stove.
