Meat actually tastes good now!
My wife and I would always cook chicken and other meats and guesstimate the internal temperature because we didn't have a thermometer. This always resulted in dry/tough meat. This thermometer is accurate and has changed the way we cook. Meat actually tastes good now! This is a handy, durable tool that we love. Our friends recommended this to us and we are glad they did.
Pros:
- Compact and easy to use
- Easy to clean (I just run a Clorox wipe down the metal end)
- Numbers are easy to read
- Accurate readings
- Magnetic: This is actually a lot more handy than I ever anticipated or expected. We actually keep the thermometer on the refrigerator as a magnet. Also, while I am grilling, I have the thermometer magnetically stuck on the grill. This a minor, genius touch by the good folks at Lavatools
Cons:
- If you're using this thermometer for grilling, you might need an oven mitt or glove to check the temperature of the meat. Because this thermometer is so short, it can get pretty warm (actually extremely hot) when you attempt to take the meat's temperature.
There are, however, no actual cons as far as the capability and functionality of this unit goes. It is top-notch.
