OXO Good Grips Chef’s Precision Digital Instant Read Thermometer, Black

Shoes required for safe use
I accidentally knocked it off the counter and it landed on my bare foot. The tiltable large display was easy to read from the 5′ distance down to my foot. Temperature readings came in fast and seemed accurate, but the reading may have been off due to proximity to the bone. The exit wound on the bottom of my foot speaks to how incredibly sharp this is; it is the sharpest meat thermometer I have ever seen and rivals the darts in my dart board. It is also the thinnest meat thermometer I have used which is appreciated since it left a very small and clean entry point on my foot; the tip diameter is comparable to throwing darts.I am both impressed and scared of this thermometer now.

Reliable!
Always a reliable brand for many kitchen products. Matched the temp reading of other thermometers, so I feel it’s temps are correct. DO NOT submerge in dishwater!,….. wipe clean and air dry……….or just when you need to use it another time, you’ll find you’ve ruined it and you’ll have to order another!

Tiene una tabla que te indica a que temperatura deberia estar el tipo de proteina que estas cocinando si quieres tenerlo a cierto termino. Me parece algo muy practico para quienes nos gusta tener la carne en el punto que queremos, pero que no tenemos tanta experiencia.

Great product. The sleeve provides target temperatures in Celcius and Fahrenheit for beef/lamb, ground beef, poultry, pork for all levels of “doneness”: medium rare, medium and well-done. Temperatures are accurate. Simple to use Purchased on sale, would buy again.
