Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Just got it - used only once so far, but it REALLY impressed me. I have been waiting to buy one of those $100 thermapens, but never could convince myself it would really be worth that huge price. Saw this one and thought the price was a steal if they were claiming it worked just as fast. When I first got it, I was skeptical since it did not seem to read fast or accurate from my skin or mouth, but we cooked a ham that night, and all I can say is that it read almost instantly! I have another digital probe that took a full minute to finally settle on the temp, and this one showed the temp before I could even think about counting the seconds to check its speed. I have not yet tried to double-check the calibration, but I will certainly update this review if I find it off or any other problem develops. Perhaps the probe could be a bit longer, but it will work for anything I am likely to fit in my oven (and it is as long as my other thermometer). As long as it keeps working, I don't know how it could be anything less than 5 stars. The great price alone will offset any minor concern I may have about the probe length.
