Epica Instant Read Digital Meat Thermometer For Cooking and BBQ

I've recently moved into my own place for the first time. Living on your own obviously means you have to cook for yourself and being new to the temperatures some foods need, I required a thermometer that was easy to use, clean, and store. This thermometer provided me with everything that I needed!I've had it for about a month now:* It's very easy to clean and if you do it after every use it'll stay looking new!* It was small even with its protective cover and can easily be stored anywhere.* The thermometer is very simple to use for its basic purposes, and switching between the available temperature degrees is as simple as pressing a button.If I had to pick something to not like it would the following and I would not let it affect my score. My second use was to make some french fries, and to test the temperatures I had to hold the thermometer over the oil. This worried me because I was afraid of accidentally letting go and dropping it in the oil. It comes with a little clip to clip it onto something, but I'm not so sure I should clip it to the side of the pan!Regardless, a great product!

I had old analog thermometer that I've used for years. Served me well, but just took too long to get a reading. Comparatively, this one is very quick to get a reading (~5-7 seconds). I'd consider "ultra fast" less than 5 seconds. I read those thermometers exist but they're very expensive. $20 for a 5-7 second accurate reading vs. nearly 30 second reading is worth it to me.Pro:5-7 seconds for accurate readinglong, thin probe makes the hole in the meat smallhandle can attach to thermometer extending the reachCon (with fixes):It's difficult to read vertically (fix: tilt your head)if you plan on taking temps using your left hand the numbers will be upside down (fix: tilt your head more)Pro's outweigh cons. And the cons are very minor.

The only reason I did not rate it as a 5 star is because it was advertised as obtaining a reading within five (5) seconds. I have not found this to be the case - more like eight (8) to ten (10) seconds. Not a major difference unless you are over a hot bar-b-que. However, on the other hand, it is an excellent product. The long probe makes it more comfortable when taking readings over a hot bar-b-que and 8-10 seconds is not a very long time. It appears to be very accurate, easy to read and easy to use. Even though I have been a little more critical than most would probably be, I highly recommend this product. And, I might add, for the quality of the product the price is also excellent. You will not be disappointed.

I wondered how I lived so long without this thermometer. It is technically a "meat" thermometer, but it also works well for checking the temps of liquids and other types of foods. I was wondering why my pizza dough wasn't coming out very good. Using this thermometer, I check the temp of my water I was proofing the yeast in. Turns out I was always proofing with the wrong temperature. This thermometer helps me get the exact temp needed; no more proofing problems and the pizza dough (and breads) come out great. I didn't buy this for that reason, but it's nice that it can get the temps of more than meat. The quality of this thing is really nice. It's very solid, thick plastic. The cap snaps on nice and tight. It is super-easy to clean and dry too. Overall a great product for the money.

Anyone who lives at higher altitudes such as in Flagstaff, Arizona, at 7,000 feet: please remember that the boiling point of water decreases about 1 degC per 1000 feet. Therefore this unit measures only 93.4 degC at this altitude which is the maximum to be expected. If the instructions printed on the back of the blister pack had mentioned this information, to prevent initial doubts about the accuracy of the calibration, I would have given five stars instead of four. If you remember high school physics, temperature is also affected by pressure. According to my Presto Pressure Cooker manual, a typical internal pressure of 15 pounds raises the temperature of boiling water to 121 degC; that is why food cooks so much faster. My new year's resolution is to learn Celsius instead of Fahrenheit. Therefore I will not give the formula in degrees of Fahrenheit.

Best customer support and the thin profile of the holder fits perfectly on your chef coats. Very accurate as I test it at 0F (small crushed ice, fill with cold tap water, swirl it a couple of times with a spoon and test) or at 212F (boil water, make sure it is really boiling hard). Would definitely buy again.

I have been using this thermometer for a couple months now around the kitchen and when grilling and smoking.It is a sturdy, quick reading thermometer.I've burned (some literally) through a lot of kitchen thermometers and this is probably my favorite so far.Pros -long stem - about 5 inchesdigitalGood range, even for most frying temps, -58 to 392 degrees FQuick and accurate, it takes about 10 seconds to read. tested on ice, boiling water and my body temperature (under arm of course!) all within a couple of degrees of where they should beeasy to cleanCHEAPCons -Not an oven thermometer. It cannot be put into an oven or a grill, the plastic will melt.the reading has to be made on the side, unlike the top for a lot of thermometers....it's a minor conYou can't really beat it for the price.

Gut und wirklich sehr schnell. Nutzen es als Flaschenthermometer für Baby s Flasche und da kommt es auf jede Sekunde an. Hatte auch schon Thermometer die gemütlich von 70 grad runterzählen und darauf kann man nicht warten. Aktuell das schnellste was ich auf amazon finden konnte und auch praktisch mit Hülle für unterwegs. Preis Leistung passt auf jeden Fall.

Das Thermometer macht was es soll und das auch schnell. Ich nutze das Thermometer um die Temperatur der Milchflasche unserer Tochter zu kontrollieren. Man verschätzt sich doch manchmal recht stark beim Testen mit der Hand. Und wer Kinder hat, weiss das es meistens recht schnell gehen muss bei den kleinen. Direkt nach dem Einschalten hat man eine recht genaue Grundtemperatur die sch innerhalb von 2-3-4 Sekunde genau einpendelt. Der Thermometer ist auch recht leicht so das ich ihn sogar in die Flasche rein stellen kann, ohne das sie kippt. Die Hülle des Messstabes ist aus stabilem Kunststoff und hat einen Halteklipp wie bei einem Kugelschreiber auf der Rückseite. Sieht man leider nicht auf den Bildern. Kurz: Super Teil!
