There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
1) It can easily be recalibrated using the blue plastic carrying case/tool (test it using ice water, 32 F, or boiling water, 212 F at sea level). When that gets lost you can use a small wrench. Many other thermometers can't be calibrated and get tossed when they lose accuracy. The Taylor thermometer was accurate out of the box.
2) It's simple and there is no battery that can die and can cost as much as the thermometer to replace.
3) Excellent customer service. The first thermometer I received had an imperfection in the face and wasn't working properly after a month. I was ready to move on but thought I'd send them an e-mail to see if I could fix the problem, they responded and sent a replacement . All fine since then. Sure its only $6.39 but nice to find a company that stands behind their product. Another Taylor thermometer we have has lasted for years. I'll update if this one goes bad.
Cons:
1) Another customer commented the face is dime-size. It is somewhat small but not dime size, it's a quarter (see my photo), but easy enough to read to within a degree accuracy.
2) It's a little slow to get a stable reading but I'm OK with that. Tested on a pan of hot water and at 10 sec it read 150F; 20 sec 160F; 30 sec 165F; 40 sec 167F and that's where it remained. So within 20-30 sec good enough for government work. I'd rather have it accurate than fast and wrong.
3) It wasn't made for the oven (it has a hard plastic face), so you have to take the meat out and then take the temperature. I haven't found this a big problem.
Overall: excellent value. Because they stood behind their product I bought a second thermometer -- so I can quickly get 2 temp. readings and make sure the whole meat is at the same temp.

Overall: excellent value. Because they stood behind their product I bought a second thermometer -- so I can quickly get 2 temp. readings and make sure the whole meat is at the same temp.
One of the problems I had was that the temperature isn't 'instant'. And the problem with that is while you are waiting for the temperature to come up, the oven door is open and the internal temperature is dropping. (Not fatal for most baked goods, but it is a problem for some pastries.)
The other problem I had is that the face is too small to easily read. Thus, when I'm starting a recipe one of the things I have to remember is to find my 'cheaters' so that I can read the thermometer.
So a hesitant recommendation.
