Product Description

Amazon.com Review

This barbecue fork takes all the guesswork out of grilling meats. With its built-in digital thermometer, the fork supplies accurate temperature readings in either Fahrenheit or Celsius when its tines are inserted into a cut of meat. A chart on the back of the handle provides a quick reference to the minimum temperature requirements recommended by the USDA for food safety. Because the thermometer reads all temperatures between 0 and 220 degrees Fahrenheit (-18 to 104 degrees Celsius), it can also be used to determine how thawed or cool meats removed from the freezer or refrigerator are at the start of cooking.

This digital fork has a handy hold button that locks in the current temperature reading on the large, 0.5-inch display panel. An on/off button and automatic shutoff extend the fork’s battery life. Other non-battery-powered features include a comfortable, nonslip rubberized handle, sturdy stainless-steel handles that easily lift large cuts of meat, and tapered tines that, when withdrawn from the meat, let the meat juices drain back in. This digital fork thermometer runs on one AAA battery (included), and is covered by a lifetime warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

Product Description

The digital fork thermometer can be used indoors or outdoors. The classic goods looks of stainless and black make this not only a practical tool for your kitchen but an outstanding looking one as well. The biggest use for this thermometer is still backyard grilling but can be used indoors as well for stove top cooking as well as testing temperatures in your oven. The 16-inch length keeps your hands well away from the heat source. The lighted lcd readout makes this thermometer easy to read in any light source.

5.0 out of 5 stars Taylor Digital Fork Thermometer is accurate!, March 21, 2006

By	Amazon Shopper "Irv" (Palmetto, FL USA) - See all my reviews

The Taylor Professional Digital Fork Thermometer is an accurate and handy device for measuring the temperature of meats, liquids and anything that will not damage the fork!

I checked the calibration by inserting it in a pan of boiling water and it measured 213 degrees. Solid ice will take it below freezing.

The hold button is very handy as the temperature will start to change rapidly as you remove the fork from the medium being measured.

The ability to measure in either the Celsius (centigrade) or Farenheit scale will be nice for some people although I prefer Farenheit for cooking.

4.0 out of 5 stars I love this digital fork!, August 9, 2006

By	Sherry Binkelman "Author of Blindsided by Des... (Blue Ridge Mountains of NC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The ONLY reason I only gave it 4 stars was that it is a bit awkward to see the displayed temperature while the fork is in the meat on the grill. The angle of the handle is not quite right. However, I can now perfectly cook any kind of meat on the grill!

1.0 out of 5 stars cheap and built that way, February 19, 2007

By	Darrin Song (Southern California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Used this unit 4 times. It now goes crazy with reading and sometimes just freezes up. You get what you pay for so I'm not too upset.

Actually, it made for a difficult moment when I was hosting and BBQing a rib roast. Because the unit malfunctioned and without any other therm. I had to guess the time. Luckily I guessed right.

It's now stored somewhere in a trash dump lol.
