Dishwasher Safe Thermometer

I had bought this thermometer, my last order indicated in April of 2012. I am now buying this again because it finally "broke" when it started reading the wrong temperature. Probably my fault the poor thing has been dropped so many times, I really honestly don't know how it lasted this long. So basically it's a nokia brick. It's been dropped, dishwashed so many times, stepped on, lost, found, buried. And it kept going. I hadn't the heart to throw it away but when it read my hot water as being only 120F when I knew it was at least 200F I knew it was time to say goodbye. Pros: Could probably survive a nuclear explosion Accurate and super quick temp Saw me through many a meals All around good thermometer, no frills, no batteries--just a regular ol' thermometer--that may outlive you Cons: The one that I had originally had an easy cheat sheet on its cap, this one doesn't. That's just a gripe, hopefully this one will live up to it's predecessor. Overall: Will buy again when needed.

I like this thermometer so much better than the digital thermometers on the market these days. I find it much easier to use. We've had this thermometer at home for years, and we use it all the time. Because I rely on it so much, I had to order a second thermometer to use at our lake cabin. ACCURACY The thermometer is very accurate. I've tested it against two digital thermometers we have (and no longer use), and it reads the same as the digital thermometers. FUNCTION The digital thermometers we have always seem to need a new battery - and of course, I don't always have the right kind of battery on hand. It's frustrating when this happens and you need to know the temperature of something you're cooking. I finally gave up on the digital thermometers and will just stick to this one - no batteries required. I also like the size of this thermometer, compared to the digital ones we have (had). It's easier to store in a drawer. I am very happy with the quality, accuracy, and durability of this thermometer. I definitely recommend it!

I recently tried out the Rubbermaid Commercial Products Food/Meat Instant Read Thermometer, and here’s my take on it: Accuracy and Speed: The thermometer provides reasonably accurate readings, but it’s not the fastest. It takes a bit longer to register the temperature compared to some digital thermometers. However, it’s still reliable for everyday cooking. Dishwasher Safe: One of the standout features is that it’s dishwasher safe. After measuring the temperature, I can toss it in the dishwasher without worry. No fuss, no hassle. Pocket Size: The compact design makes it easy to carry around. I keep it in my kitchen drawer, and it doesn’t take up much space. Surface Area Requirement: It’s worth noting that this thermometer seems to need a decent amount of surface area covered to get an accurate read. Thin cuts of meat might be a bit challenging to measure accurately. Handheld Convenience: While it’s not lightning-fast, it’s still convenient for quick checks. I appreciate that I don’t need to wait for it to stabilize like some other thermometers. Overall Impression: If you’re looking for a straightforward, no-frills thermometer that’s easy to clean and gets the job done, the Rubbermaid Instant Read Thermometer is a solid choice.

I use it to measure my temperature when boiling the milk (+160F) for making yogurt to make sure it is hot enough to kill the bacteria. Then, I measure it again around 100F when it cools to make sure it does not kill my probiotics in the starter. It is compact with a cover to keep it clean. It does a good job for my yogurt making so far! All my yogurt batches were a success.

Accurate and easy to use

Love this fast little thermometer! Great price, had one just like it from the grocery store, but it did not have the flat edge on the circle and it constantly rolled away on the counter.. seems like a little thing but it was not so great. They have a much better mousetrap with this design, think it pays to buy a name brand in this case. It is very durable, easy to clean and easy to read. The slip case it goes into is worth keeping to keep it clean when in the drawer. Excellent and fast it does the job and well.

This thermometer is consistently off by 40 degrees or more. I baked some chicken legs for almost an hour at 400 F and checked their temperature. This thermometer read 165 F. When I checked the temp with a digital thermometer I use for my work, it read 205 F. The thermometer does not do the one job its supposed to do, so even one start is generous.

Hard to find these old school thermometers. Everything now is digital and I did not want a digital thermometer. Very please, seems to read the temperature accurately when I bake chicken

It can be adjusted which I did. All metal so no glass to break. The top is quite small and could be difficult to read.

Tengo menos de un año que lo compre y ya no me funciona , es de buena marca y fácil de usar pero ya no me funciono .

Bought this to take temperature of the ground, for mushroom hunting, and garden planting works great.

Simple and good

Perfect size for and easy to read I can not say anything about accuracy because I have nothing to compare it to but I’m sure it works well
