Absolutely necessary
This is a kitchen must have especially when cooking poultry. Also for making the perfect roast or rack of lamb. The digital read takes the guess work out of reading the temperature. And the letter size is visible even without reading glasses. Whether a professional or recreational chef, no kitchen should be without this tool.

Love it so far
This thing has been great so far, no more guessing about the temp, and it's nice enough my husband hasn't left it in the oven to melt... I only recently questioned it's accuracy when we grilled really thick pork and the temp read only 150 and they were very well done. I'm not a master chef but I'm thinking that's not quite right. Otherwise it reads quickly and has been accurate prior to that. No battery issue with ours yet, had it for at least 6 months.

Disappointment
I was really hopeful about this product, as it seemed like a quick way to get an accurate temperature. With the digital display, no more waiting for the arrow to turn all the way around as with traditional meat thermometers. I was sadly disappointed when this thermometer turned out to be inaccurate, not to mention inconsistent with it's measurements. In addition, the battery life is small and it is difficult to change the battery without damaging the plastic cover.

POOR DESIGN/QUALITY
we got this product and it was working fine, however the battery life was very short and then when we need to change it, it was virtually impossible due to the very shallow slot for a screwdriver or other tool such as a coin and the plastic case was so soft that it deforms instead of unscrewing. The end result was it went into the trash.

Easy to Use
This thermometer is very easy to use and I really appreciate the reminder temps on the side of the case that tell me at what temps particular meats should be cooked. The case is handy! I had an old thermometer that was easily broken while rummaging through my utensil drawer.

Been working well for over a year
I purchased this thermometer a year and a half ago after getting tired of the "old fashioned" versions. I love the fact that I can switch from F to C, as I have a few recipes from Europe, so has come in handy.
I use it to measure water temperature when making homemade bread to checking the internal temperature of steaks on the grill. The meat list/temps is really handy and the big screen readout makes for a quick and simple read.
I've had no issues with the batteries.

Very easy to use
Love this thermometer! Very easy to use and read. I also like that the proper meat temps are listed on the sleeve--very convienient! I do agree that you should keep some extra batteries on hand. It uses the small button batteries. Went to use it the other night and the battery was dead. Its nice to be able to check the temp of the meat without cutting into it and losing all the juices.

Perfect!
This little digital thermometer does exactly what you want it to: accurate, instantaneous cooking temp, and nothing else. Like all OXO products it's thoughtfully designed, simple and unobtrusive.

Love it!
A reliable meat thermometer- now there's a new one! I wish that the meat temperature instructions were somehow attached to the thermometer rather than a 'sleeve'- but we have been very happy with this product. Our other, less reliable thermometers made their way to the trash when we received this easy-to-use product.

Good, but keep fresh batteries on hand..
This is a great little thermometer! It's quite small, which is great for storage purposes. It's especially helpful when you're cooking for guests & don't want to go making cuts into your guests' steak or chicken, simply to check if it's completely cooked or not. I did have the battery go out on me rather quickly, despite having not been used very much. Those little coin batteries are cheap, though. But if you know you're going to need/use it at some point, might be an idea to just turn it on earlier that day or the day before to check on the battery so you know you're good to go. :)

Changes everything!
Seriously, with this thermometer, everything has changed when grilling meats. Especially, chicken. I'm able to take the temp of a chicken breast to exactly the right temperature and have the most PERFECTLY cooked piece of chicken. So juicy. So delicious. Couldn't be done without this thermometer.

Trying
I tried to use the thermometer but I'm not getting a readout! I pressed the button at the top but still nothing. Is this a battery issue? If it is, I don't see any way to open the thermometer so I can replace the battery!! At this point I have a $20 meat thermometer that is totally useless.

handy digital thermometer
We got this as part of a wedding gift with other utensils and gadgets from C&B. We already have used this many times. It is super easy to use for grilling and roasting meats. And the holder makes a great reference for correct cooking temps for different meats.

Useful
Great for cooking all types of meat. Not the fanciest thermometer available but it does the job well.

Doesn't Work
I got this product in the mail today and it doesn't work. Won't even turn on. I'm hoping that it's just the battery. It came with a battery, but maybe it's dead. Now I have to go to the store and buy a new one.. what a pain.

When you're just not sure...
Sometimes you just need a helping hand and this little thermometer is always ready. A great tool, everyone should have one. Even the self proclaimed Grill Master or the ever so humble Roaster...
Like I said everyone should have one maybe even two!!!
