Instant Read Thermometer Best Waterproof Digital Meat Thermometer with Backlight and Calibration functions Food Thermometer for Outdoor and Kitchen Cooking

If you do enough cooking you'll realize the need for a good thermometer, or thermometers in my case. I have an assortment of them. Analog oven thermometer, long stem deep fryer thermometer, remote smoker thermometer and of course a hand held thermometer. Well my 10+ year old handheld thermometer finally gave up the ghost. It was a short stem unit with pocket clip sheath that I used all the time, especially when trying new cooking methods or different types of food preparation. So I bought this unit to replace my now deceased old diehard temperature pal. This thing is great. Not only was it much less expensive than my old one (technology improvements lowering costs) it's better and I'll tell you why I say this. First of all it's longer than my old unit. This is especially handy over the outdoor grill. Second, it has an auto on auto off feature. It opens like a pocket knife and the display comes on instantly and of as soon as you close it. My old one you had to manually turn it off or it had a preset time out off feature that still sucked battery for a bit in the event you didn't shut it off manually. Small thing to point out, I know, but I appreciate this function. Last thing I really appreciate is the lighted display. I don't know how many times I've been grilling outside during the months of shorter daylight using the old thermometer and I had to tilt it towards my patio lighting to read the display. Oh, I almost forgot to mention, the display is huge compared to my old unit. Right now you're saying this guy is easily impressed to take the time to write a lengthy review for a stupid thermometer. Actually, I'm not easily impressed, but this thermometer did it. Grab one if you're looking for a good all around food thermometer, you won't be disappointed.

I do a lot of smoking on my Treager Grill and was using a Weber thermometer ($10) to check meat temp. The Weber took 5 to 10 seconds to reach temperature and would fluctuate a lot. That mean't the smoker was open longer and I couldn't always tell if my reading was accurate. When the Mister Chefer arrived, I checked the calibration using ice water (put it in the fridge for an hour or two before checking) and it was within one degree so I didn't bother calibrating it. I put a pork shoulder on the smoker and let it go...long and slow. When I used the Mister Chefer, it was up to temp. in one or two seconds and didn't fluctuate at all....I really liked that. Once the pork was up to temp. I took it off, let it sit for 30 minutes, and it ended up being the best pork shoulder I've ever done....fell apart and was oh so tasty! Now, it could have been the dry rub, apple juice spray basting, hickory pellets, sauce, and love I put into it that made it so good, but I think the Mister Shefer helped too :)

Nice thermometer and very accurate. The only thing I would caution about is the probe itself where it attaches to the body of the thermometer unit.I had a similar thermometer in the past, same design, and the plastic collar around the base of the probe cracked almost right away. This loosens the probe and eventually it will come out no matter how careful you are handling it.You have to be very careful opening and closing the probe so as not to stress the plastic collar. What I do now is grasp the probe as close to the collar or even on the collar as I can. This helps avoid the leverage placed on the plastic when holding the far end of the probe.I think if you use this caution all will be well and you'll be well served with this unit. thermometer.

Great product. My 1st one was erratic after 3 years so I got a new one. Besides keeping the order number -needed to use their guarantee- the instruction sheet that comes in the box is hard to understand because there are so many errors. The entire instruction page should be proof-read by an english speaking professional proof-reader. BUT it is a great product. Also, the enclosed card stating "if you have any suggestions" gives an address MisterChefer.com/feedback.........DOES NOT WORK.

I have gone though the thermometers, I bought this one ,LOVED IT ,treated it well and after 3 years, and a batterie change.... It was not working properly... I was broken hearted. I truly depend on this device. I wrote to them, explained all I had tried and voila I have a new one. If you need a good thermometer, I am more than pleased..... Good job Mister Chefer. Customer service A+

Remember running around the kitchen for the holidays trying to check on the turkey & ham and waiting for analog thermometers to register the temp, then cool down, clean, try the next meat and wait again? I do. And I say fuggettaboutit.I bought this instant read primarily for cooking outside on one of my three grills - yeah, I'm kinda obsessed with what works. And this little guy is a champ. Easy to open, easy to read and easy to clean so you go from one item to the next and get your temp now. As in fast. What's not to like?I got the black one (matches my grills) and it comes with a meat doneness temp guide. Easiest few dollars I ever spent on cooking and yes, it helped me a lot as I put out my Thanksgiving spread. Get yours and take your cooking to the next level as you save time too.

We were looking forward to receiving this thermometer but have been disappointed with it. When we insert the probe into a piece of meat or turkey breast to check the internal temp the reading bounces back and forth and even after an extended time it does not stay on one temperature. Because of that I do not trust the accuracy of this instant read thermometer.Jan. 20, 2018-Update- The response from the seller was impressive. They were concerned about the quality of their product and took quick action to make sure I was satisfied. I received a replacement thermometer. I have not had an opportunity to use it but am hopeful that it will work well. I will update this review after I have used it.

I bought this thermometer in July of 2019.. I use it often in the good weather months and periodically in the bad weather times.. I do check it against other digital and analog thermometers and It remains accurate.. Good Purchase

Wort the price and work as one that youll pay 10x more.Water resistant and sturdy. I would buy an other like that one. Its realy accurate.Only downside is the time of reading, youll have to wait 3 sec :-)

I bought this for my son and he absolutely loves it. He is such an amazing cook and his boys are benefiting from the outcome. "they love their dads cooking!" and now it is perfect every time.

Best barbecue accessory I own. If you are grilling meat, you gotta have one of these for perfectly cooked meat. Don't know how I managed without one. This eliminates guesswork and it's a great product for the price.

This was on sale a few months back so I picked it up.My last meat thermometer only read in Celcius and I was tired asking Alexa to convert it to Fahrenheit. The new thermometer came with instructions to calibrate it which entails putting the probe into a glass of ice water. All of that done and with our first dinner on the BBQ and I compared the reading on this thermometer to the reading on my previous one. They were out by about 10 degrees. Either instrument could be incorrect so I took the meat off the grill and cut into it. It was chicken which my new thermometer was saying was at the correct temperature to be done. Clearly it was not as my older thermometer indicated that the meat was still uncooked.I have tried it since with mixed results and have kept the old thermometer in order to check it the reading I am getting. I think likely I will invest in a more expensive instrument as I am constantly questioning the reading I am receiving from this one.

This headline said it is waterproof. Bought mine a year ago and accidentally left it out near BBQ and during night it lightly rained. Next morning dried it off and would not work. I did all i could to bring it back to life, but to no avail. Tried new battery, placed it over dehumidifier air vent and did not help. Finally after about 4 days there was a trickle of life but the LCD display only partially worked.I do have to say that before this, it was a very good little tool. It was accurate, speedy to read, magnetic was,a nice touch to keep it handy. We have 2 Traeger smokers, Weber gas grill and Weber charcoal kettle grill. We cook a lot of food, especially with the 20 grandkids when they come to visit. I will miss this little thermometer, it was helpful. But not waterproof.
