What our customer's say!

"Accurate, inexpensive, wide temperature range", Good product. Accurate, easy to use, inexpensive and wide temperature range. Many digital thermometer have a minimum temperature of 32F, so you cannot use them to check your freezer. This product has a range of -40F to 450F so it will do both oven and freezer. Tested in an ice water bath, it was only off about 1F, better then others I have measured. Comes with a neat magnetized plastic stand that holds it up at readable angle. Has a C/F switch on back.

Only minor negative is that while the upper range is advertized to be 450F, the documentation gives a slightly lower maximum temperature for the silicone cord. I'm writing this after using the product for a couple of months and I've lost the documentation, but my memory says the max cord temperataure was listed as 425F.

"Finally able to keep temps correct", Cooked easter lamb to perfection. Also finally able to fry chicken on stove top and keep the temperature close to 350 degrees.



"Best of Digital Probe Thermometers", It seems that most people recommend Taylor digital probe thermometers for oven or smokers. I've used several of them and I'm not happy, primarily because the high end limit is 350 degrees.

This Tru Temp thermometer goes up to 450 degrees and works as well or better then the the Taylors in all other respects. It suffers from the same general problems as others in that the probes are fairly easily damaged. But for the money you simply can't beat it.

I use this thermometer for smoking meat. I like to put one probe in the open in the smoker to monitor smoker tempterature. The rest go into the meat. I've generally gotten about a year and a half out of the probes.

Another thing I like about the probes is they are straight. Most of the others, like Taylor, have a large curve in them and that curve gets in the way. The straight probe is preferable to me.

The read out is large and easy to read and the set points are easy to use. The alarm can be heard inside, which is perfect. The base has magnets built in so you can attach it to anything made or ferrous metal.

Be sure to store these indoors if you use them with you smoker or grill. Left outdoors the digits will begin to fail on the display. I learned this the hard way.
