I bought this as a birthday gift for my son since he's always calling me to ask what temperature meats should be cooked to and he once had under-done chicken and it made him sick and overly cautious! It works great and we love that it has the meat cooking temps on the side...very nice! I brined a chicken to bake recently and my cheap thermometer kept reading that it was under-done...I had my son bring this one over and it popped that temp up so fast and accurately that it took me 2 weeks to give this great thermometer back to him :) Now he knows what to get me for MY birthday!

I should have listened to all the negitave reviews. I took a chance. First the thermo reads 15 derees off. I cooked some lamb and thermo said it was well done. It was rare. Next I boiled water and checked it. The thermo read 190. Forget about it reading instant. It took at least 30 seconds to read. No way a $100.00 dollar item. I sent mine back to the Fedx (maned store) some 26 miles one way from my home.
