Taylor Commercial Digital Fork Thermometer,1482

This product seemed to work well for a few uses, but now it will not turn on consistently even with new batteries. Sometimes it will work when you test it before cooking, but then it will not turn on when you actually want to check the food's temperature. Now it's just a fork with a blank screen and buttons that do not function.

I not only use the fork for the BBQ, I also use it inside to test the temperature of a roast in the oven. I like the fact that it lights up so you can see the temperature and has a hold button which keeps the temperature until you can read it. I would recommend this product. It is very easy to use.

My wife bought me this to replce the original Thermo Fork I had for about five years that I got from Walgreens for $9.95. The 1st time on the grill this thermometer went haywire and flashed several different readings. I changed the batteries thinking they were low...same result. Sent it back thinking it was defective and was chastised by the cust service rep, inferring i was doing something wrong. I got the replacement a couple weeks later and had the same problem. Needless to say it went straight into the trash along with my money!

Used this unit 4 times. It now goes crazy with reading and sometimes just freezes up. You get what you pay for so I'm not too upset.

Actually, it made for a difficult moment when I was hosting and BBQing a rib roast. Because the unit malfunctioned and without any other therm. I had to guess the time. Luckily I guessed right.

It's now stored somewhere in a trash dump lol.

I've owned one of these for a year and I just bought one to give as a gift. This is great for the kitchen as well as the grill. It prevents overcooking pork, fish and burgers. Doesn't work so well on very thin cuts (1/4" thick), but that's a really minor quibble.
