Best, long-lasting thermometer
I don't understand the bad reviews for this thermometer - I've had mine for YEARS and it's still working perfectly... I've even dropped it in water/juices countless times and all I do is dry it off quickly then I open the plastic reader so that the wires dry out fully too! It never breaks nor stops working. I've also gone weeks without using it and it never dies. I love this thing!

Do not buy this thermometer
I wish I could give this product less than 1 star. Do not buy. This thermometer is very cheaply made and broke within weeks.

Spend a couple extra dollars
Stop working after first use. We stopped at a drawer forgot about it for about a month. Went back to use it and it had all the eight straight across the screen it couldn’t clear it couldn’t reset it. Can’t find the receipt.

Taylor let me down
I always treated it well, and it quit on me after a couple of months and when I needed it the most! The chicken could have been undercooked. We could have gotten salmonella! We could have *ied!

Broke before using
Pulled the plastic “remove” piece and the whole thing fell apart.

Poor design, breaks easily
The lid of the thermometer pops off easily, which exposes the battery to water. It worked for a few months before the battery got corroded and now it's not working. Bad design.

Not worth the cost
Battery was not included, so I had to spend money before I could use it. Cheaply made. Skip this one.

Poor quality
We’ve bought two of these over the last year and a half. The first one made it about 8 months before the top started coming off. We figured it was a fluke and bought a second the top popped off after the first use. It take zero effort to take the lid off.

Avoid this item at any cost.
I love Target. But avoid this item. In the first use, the top and wiring came out. Unusable after that.

Buyer beware
Tried to pull it out of a pork chop and the top popped right off on the first use destroying the item. Buyer beware.
