 CDN proaccurate thermometer November 16, 2008

I am well satisfied with this thermometer. I read the reviews first and it lives up to the good ones. You just have to be careful of the plastic tip when using it as one of the reviews mentioned it can break off.
 Waste of money! November 3, 2008

Quit working after one use. Was not impressed with it while it did work.
Don't waste your money. If you want a good instant read digital thermometer... Buy a Thermapen. More money, and worth it.

I purchased this to replace some inaccurate and slower analog thermometers I had. I tested it upon receipt and it read 31.6 at freezing and 211.2 at boiling. I thought this was pretty accurate for a a quick read thermometer that was as inexpensive as it was.
I have been using it for a couple months now and think it is great. The only improvement I would make on it would be to make the stem a couple inches longer. This probably would not be an issue for most people, but I use it to measure mash temperature when making beer and wish it could easily get deeper in the mash.
I would highly recommend this thermometer to anyone looking for an accurate (with the ability to calibrate) thermometer at a good cost.
Great price for a great thermometer October 21, 2008

I bought this thermometer based on the recommendation of Cook's Illustrated. Comparaed to the Taylor analog thermometers, this thermometer was far superior in terms of accuracy and speed.
Sooo much better than dials October 16, 2008

I see some people talking about the Thermopen and that's good, but America's Test Kitchen recently changed their recommendation to this model I think, so I decided to give it a try. I'm not disappointed at all.
I used to use "instant read" dial thermos, which have two problems. First of all they're very slow, 10-30 seconds. Second of all, they use a very long sensor, which is in the first 1-2 inches of the probe. That makes it tricky to know if you have the probe in far enough on big cuts, and tricky to get into small cuts at all.
By contrast, the CDN digital thermometer is very fast, only a couple seconds before the reading levels off. It seems accurate although I don't think I've put this one in boiling water yet.
The probe is great, it's the type that only needs the bottom centimeter or so stuck in, which makes it easier to be in the center of a cutlet or something other than a 1-1/2" thick steak. It's great for those too though. :-)
This will continue to be my trusted tool of choice for a long time to come, and in the case that it breaks, it's cheap enough that I won't be too terribly sad.
