My replacement for the one that broke

  We do a lot of cooking in our home, as well as a ton of holiday baking. Having an accurate thermometer is a must. I have 2 options in my drawer currently, but neither are the most convenient for us to use. I wanted something longer that would be safe to use for the kids, and this thermometer is perfect for my needs.

I love the design of this unit. It is smaller than my bulkier version, yet the probe folds in on itself leaving you with a compact item to store. It has a temperature guide on the thermometer to help you cook things to the correct temperature without having to look it up online. The probe is long, making it safe for my kids to use and helps keep our hands free from the heat. The read out is almost immediate and is back lit, so easy to read. It starts registering the temperature the minute it is inserted and quickly reaches the internal temperature (within 5 seconds average). Plus, it can read temps up to 500+, which is perfect for candy making!
I loved the fact it has a built in magnet that allows you to stick it to the side of the oven or on the fridge. Unfortunately, it isn't the strongest so you may want to use a different option for storing. The large hole in the end also allows you to hang it from a hook if you have one handy, which we do.
We had great success with this thermometer and I foresee it becoming our next go to item in the drawer when needing to cook. Well worth picking up, a great gift for those who cook or bake, and a great price.
Reminders:
Do not touch hot probe with bare hands.
Wash the metal probe in soapy water. Clean thermometer by hand. Do not completely immerse in water or put in dishwasher. It IS digital, and though it says it is waterproof, you don't want to risk messing it up.
The probe has a sharp tapered end – use caution.
Fold away when not in use.
