Amdai Basics Digital LCD Food Thermometer Cooking Probe

I ordered this item as I wanted to temper chocolate amongst other things, it the best buy and item I could have chosen. It works perfectly for all types of cooking where you need to measure the temperature of your food, from meat, poultry to baking applications, its al all rounder! I admit I was a little concerned as it was such a good price, that it would actually work, work well, be easy to use and read accurate temperature. It does all this and does it well. As I continue to add to my baking collection, I will be sure to visit this seller again, as not only was the product very good, the seller personally contacted me to make sure I was happy with my product and offer any help in the future if I may require it A+++++ Customer service!

Simply to use at a competitive price. Can be a bit slow in responding to measuring temperature, but would still recommend. Bought using amazon prime so price of product is better than those which include delivery fee.

I have been experimenting with making pea fritters, to be cooked from frozen.These were for friends and neighbours, so it seemed important to me to make sure they were cooked properly to avoid food poisoning.The thermometer did the job perfectly: easy to handle, easy to probe the fritters; it responded quickly to show the internal temperature of the fritters as they fried.It comes in an easy-to-open storage tube, which keeps the thermometer clean and protected from kitchen=drawer wear and tear.I think this is a great piece of kitchen equipment.

The probe on this gadget is six inches long. The casing is only three inches, and the digital display panel is tiny - it's under an inch long, and less than a quarter of an inch wide. You have to have the eyes of a hawk to see what the digital readout is.It's positively dangerous to use this gadget to record the temperature of a pan of boiling confectionery, jam or marmalade due to the likelihood of boiling splashes, and even if you chance it with lower temperature items, any steam further obscures the readout.Having said all that, this digital display food thermometer has been a useful piece of kit over the last three years since I bought mine.It reacts quickly to temperature changes and appears to be accurate, but I've had to downgrade its star rating to merely 'okay' because it's not capable of being used safely for many of the functions it ought to be capable of, plus the pathetically tiny display panel.It's fine for use in tempering chocolate, and good enough as a temperature probe for 'safe' ranges in hot or cold food.I've just dug this out of a drawer where it's been lurking unused for months so I can get on with chocolate 'goodies' for Easter, and it's still working well.If you're looking for an inexpensive product suitable for taking the temperature of confectionery or preserves during boiling, please be aware of the risk.If you're looking for a good, clear readout display then this probably won't be good enough for you.

This does just what it is supposed to do. I have just retired and am trying my hand at cooking so it is very much a case of follow the instructions, which is ok until it gives you a temperature to aim for! This little gadget does the trick. Simple to use, easy to read. Value for money. Arrived quickly. well packaged. no problems.

Very prompt delivery, item as described,.Advertising failed to indicate to me the speed of achieving a stable temperature readout and a clear indication of accuracy ( + / - ) ? 0.5 deg C. The display is clear and button controls easy to operate. The probe length - 14cm and control head - 8cm., the unit weight is 22gm. The thermometer has battery saving auto power cutoff and is supplied in a useful clear plastic tube for storage. It does the job and is good value for the price. Brian H

This thermometer is very easy to use and keep clean. The readout LCD screen is easy to read and you have the choice of degree F or C scales. It has a memory feature. The long probe means you can easily check the temperature of joints of meat, chickens, turkeys etc. It comes in a tube, which is handy for storage when not in use. I would recommend this product on ease of use and price.

It takes a very long time to read the actual temperature of food. If I stick it into boiling water it takes over 20 seconds for the temperature to stop rising. It sits for ages going up in around 5 degree increments until finally reaching the actual temperature. This makes it almost useless for checking if meat is cooked or food is re-heated to a safe temperature. Plus the housing isn't waterproof which makes it really hard to clean the probe without ruining it. When it arrived the metal probe was covered in some kind of oil that I had to wash 2-3 times to get it clean.Very disappointed - yes it works, but its really badly designed. Definitely buy something else!
