Q: Do I have to leave themometer in meat or can I just use it to check meat temperature?
submitted by Mama E - 5 years ago
A: The leave-in meat thermometer is a leave-in thermometer and cannot be used as an instant read.
It is meant to be left in the meat during the cooking process to track the gradual increase in temperatures.
If you are looking for one to use to check meat quickly, we recommend a Taylor instant read thermometer.
Please reach back out with additional questions. Thanks!

Looks like a great kitchen addition
Have not used this yet, will update later but looks to be a good value, item is bigger than I thought and appears to be durable, this is a leave in thermometer which is what I wanted, want to be able to monitor temp as meat is cooking.

It's 6.99
You get what you pay for. If you can spare an extra $10 for a different thermometer, do so. If you are on a budget then please be ready to have to deeply skewer the item of interest and hope that the reading is accurate. Multiple readings are usually necessary.

Replaced and broke again
While this thermometer is easy to use, we have replaced it twice and each time it has broken. Invest in something more durable!

Garbage at second use
Don’t waste your money. First time we used it, it worked ok. Second time we tried it, it didn’t work at all. Piece of junk. You may as well throw your money in the trash.

Handle didnt move
Bought this to cook Thanksgiving dinner however, the handle did not move for maybe 2 hours until we ran it under water. Doing that somehow tripped the sensor. Needless to say, we ate a bit late.

Do Not Buy!
I bought this after Thanksgiving and used it for my Christmas Prime Rib. At first I thought it was not working, then I saw it was and it cooked my Prime Rib perfectly! Then I went to wash the grease off. The glass is now fogged from the water I used and I can't see the numbers. I just looked up the instructions and it said to "spot or wipe". Who wants to spot or wipe yucky meat grease and blood? Not me! Dawn is the only thing that takes grease off.

Useless
Doesn’t go past 140 degrees and moves very slowly to get to that point. I made chicken thighs where juices were clear and meat was white, it was actually slightly overcooked on the outside, but according to this thermometer, it was “undercooked.” Was hoping to use this for a turkey but prob better spent on a digital thermometer 🙄
