What our customer's say!

"excellent", My old analog thermeter wouldn't read high enough temperatures. This one goes plenty high for anything I need. Easy to calibrate, operate, and clean. Reaches actual temperature in seconds and has a sharp point. I like it and it's way cheaper than than that real expensive one.

"digital cooking gauge", hello, i watch the americas test kitchen on public television. i always wanted a digital thermometor and the one they always recomended was a therma pen, which goes for about $90.00. sorry i couldnt afford one. so recently they tested a bunch of more affordable ones. this is the model that won the test for accuracy and readability. so i was happy to purchase this one,which is very affordable. thanks

"Competent small digital thermometer", This item forms part of a wide ranging collection of cooking thermometers. Certainly not 'instant read', but the small probe seems to work more quickly than other's I've used. Display is easy to read. Re-calibration feature is a neat 'plus'. This is not the right tool for monitoring cooking oil or any application where it will be in close contiunous proximity to heat (there are other cool tools for that).

"Easy and Accurate", This is a good little thermometer. I tested its accuracy in ice-water and boiling water. It registers a temperature in 5 - 10 seconds and is easy to read. The price is right, too.

"Messed up after one year", The calibriation on mine went haywire. I tried recalibrating in an ice bath per the instructions with no luck. I then replaced the battery and tried again and it is still messed up. Its sitting in an ice bath right now but says the temp is 52 deg F.

BTW, the calibration function doesn't seem to do anything unless you do it with ambient temps between 23-41 deg F, meaning you need to stick the whole thing in the freezer to try to recalibrate it.

When it worked it worked fine. Now that its screwed up it is useless. Good news is that it has a 5 year warranty, so I guess I'll be trying to contact CDN about fixing it.

"Excellent Thermometer", Other recommendations prompted the purchase and the thermometer lived up to expectation. The display is easy to read and simple to calibrate. Quickly learned that my refrigerator was not cooling correctly and thus needed a new compressor! (The cheap stick-on refrigerator thermostat that I was using as a monitor turned out to be reading 3 degrees too low.) Having an easy way to check food temps and storage temps has already proved to be a great health benefit. I join the others who highly recommend this fine product.

"A Must-Have for Every Kitchen", Every kitchen should have a digital thermometer and every cook should use one. Not only is it a must for determining if poultry and meat is done, it is handy for telling if those leftovers in the microwave are hot. It is also a must-have if you make your own yogurt. Too many other uses to list here.

Cooks Illustrated got it right! If you don't have the money for a Thermapen then this is the one to get. I've had this model for at least 5 years after trying several other digital models. My biggest gripes about those were slow response time and narrow temp range.

The CDN DTQ450 has a wide temperature range, responds quickly, has a "temp hold" feature (lacking on the Thermapen), and has large easy to read numbers. The sleeve can be used as a handle...handy when taking the temperature of boiling liquid. It also shuts itself off after a couple of minutes to save the battery. I saw a complaints about the small buttons, but I have big "ham hands" and don't have a problem with the size if the buttons.

No, you can't put it in a turkey or roast and put it in the oven, but they make Probe Thermometers for that. And no, you can't put it in the dishwasher, but why would you want to? It just wipes clean.

This will be the best 18 bucks you can spend on the kitchen. I highly recommend this thermometer.

"Nice meat thermometer", Update:

My Proaccurate (DTQ450) thermometer started to give me problems. I would stick it in the meat and it would intermittently just show ---- dashes. This was very frustrating. I called CDN and spoke to Judy and they said that this sometimes happens if you chip the red paint on the end. I was not aware that this was that easily damaged. After speaking with Judy, I asked if they would exchange it for a more durable model. No problem, they recommended the q2-450x as more durable but it has a different shape and would not read quite as fast, maybe a few seconds slower. Note the "x" at the end of the pn, that is the one without the delicate paint. Got the new one, and I like the different shape OK but indeed it is a few seconds slower. Not a problem for me, it works just fine. While I am not happy that I had problems with the original thermometer, I was very impressed with how quickly CDN fixed it. It was a little rough without the thermometer for a week, but now we are back to perfectly cooked meat!

Original comment:

I wasn't the type to use a thermometer when grilling.....always just guessed by time and by how it looked on the outside. I was pretty good at it but is was still hit and miss. With this little device, you get the meat just how you like it. Great to ensure chops are not overcooked and tough. Gives the temp within seconds, I love it, wouldn't grill without it.

"digital meat thermometer", this is a nice accurate thermometer. It's great for testing grilled chicken or meat. Resonably priced.

"Great inexpensive meat thermometer ", I use this thermometer for the quick BBQ checks that I do with steaks, chops, etc. I bought it because of two reasons: Its rugged case and because it can be calibrated. The ability to stick the tip into a glass of icewater and push a button to set it at 32 degrees give me a lot of confidence that what I see is what I get. So often, when I buy inexpensive tools, I'm never sure that they are as accurate as I thought. This one goes a long way towards giving me that assurance. It's a good tool that meets my needs.
