Acurite Touchscreen Thermometer & Timer

This is by far the best, most reliable thermometer/timer I have ever used. And I use it a lot when I'm oven cooking meat like poultry pieces or fish -- thawed or frozen. Love it.

Brilliant - wish I'd bought it sooner.

Love this! Simple to use and reliable. I've done duck, fish, poultry and steaks to perfection. Magnet handy to position interface outside the oven. I've also used it for caramel making - perfect!

Not accuriate, difficult to use.

This thermometer is not accurate. I over cooked a steak and some chicken. The thermometer showed the meat was below medium. It was actually well done. Your meat will burn up while trying to scroll to the right meat. You must go through a long list to reach the most cooked meats : Beef and Chicken. The list is not in alphabetical order. I would not recommend this product.

Temp is way off

Temperature is waaay off. It says a cup of ice water is 93 degrees F. We bought this thing yesterday.

The best I have found.

I have literally tried them all- OK, six brands maybe- and they are all in my e-wast pile for recycling. On a whim, when I saw this one I grabbed it and was literally knocked back. Love at first use. Before first use; I played with it for an hour, just getting familiar and loving the ease of use and impossible to misread color display.First of all, it's accurate to within 2° at both ends of the scale, (yes, that is the first thing I test) and second, the design is everything all the others weren't Easy and intuitive to use, it's easy to master in 5 minutes without even glancing at the instruction. Backlighting is a first for me, and it is beautiful, easy to read and well, well done.I do not feel a need to detail every operation for you, but this easily blows the ... MoreI have literally tried them all- OK, six brands maybe- and they are all in my e-wast pile for recycling.

Backlighting is a first for me, and it is beautiful, easy to read and well, well done.I do not feel a need to detail every operation for you, but this easily blows the doors off other brands I have tried, bith from Walmart as well as ones I was given to review, and even purchased. You'd expect better from the likes of Taylor, but it was just rebranded junk.Everything about the AcuRite is right, even the magnets are strong enough to stick anywhere, even semi-ferrous surfaces.If I had to quibble over a few points, I'd say the display is set so it is viewable primarily from what might be a normal cooking angle, but it just takes some practice. The time/temp settings- usually (no- always) inconveniently placed on the rear are on the right side of the face, easy to hit, but perhaps a little too easy. I also wished it had a fast scroll for the timer, but no big. Finally, the alarm beep will continue indefinitely- at least far as I have found, which can be a good thing if you see it that way. But, the flashing display when time/temp has been reached is simply way cool.The curved probe is much a much better shape than either the angled or straight designs I have tried for accurately placing, adjusting or removing.If you have made it this far, don't mind a cable rather than wireless, buy this one immediately. I have already purchased three, you will not be disappointed.

Total junk, do not buy

I bought this just a few days. Cooked a couple of hams and it worked fine. Used it today and it is way off. Put the probe in a turkey just out of the fridge and it registered 71 degrees, so I knew something was wrong. Moved the probe around to a few other locations and it read between 70 - 73 degrees everywhere. I left the probe in and set it to go off at 160 degrees. When it went off after 2 hours (for a whole turkey) I checked with another probe thermometer and it registered 131. After I finally got the turkey really done, I compared the 2 thermometers in hot water and again there was about a 30 degree difference. I changed the batteries twice to no avail. this piece of junk also registered frozen ice cream at 51 degrees. I called the customer support number to ... MoreI bought this just a few days.

I called the customer support number to see if there is a calibration mode and I get a recording telling me that they have a new customer support number. I call that number only to be informed that they no longer have phone support and that I have to use chat (where?) or email. WOW. The instruction manual states that there is a "Support User Forum". try typing "chat" or "support forum" or "forum" in the search and you get "no results". I wouldn't buy anything they sell.

Walmart JUNK

JUNK! Almost everything you read in the reviews that is bad happened to mine. Walmart has got into the habit of selling more and more junk.I will give this product a -100.

Worked great, twice. Now it's worthless

wish I could give 0 stars. Same problem as everyone else. Worked great twice, third time, registers 140 degrees in ice water.

Worthless junk .....

Bought it brand new after an old one i found went bonkers n decided my kitch was was 130 degrees. One use worked fine. Nect time. My kitchen is now 120 deg again. Measured ice water in a cup with the probe. 100 degrees.Do not buy this piece of junk. Im returning mine asap

by far best i’ve used, commercial or casual

super responsive, accurate temp, clear display, yes it’s touchy when you handle it, but the whole point of the probe, magnets, and touch screen is so that you don’t actually have to handle the unit that much. speedy scrolling would be nice but it really doesn’t matter. temp alarm and timer are both super handy. 5/7, full points, highly recommend
