Customer Reviews

Worked well, but connection wire can't take heat
Item worked great until I used it in my Weber grill.
With the lid closed it fried the braided metal wire that went from the probe to the unit with the temperature readout.
Maybe it was my fault, but you would think that something that is designed to work with an oven would be able to withstand high temperatures.

Nice, but not for Induction
The thermometer works well enough at the beginning. Nothing has gone wrong yet. One major problem for those with induction cooktops is evidently the electronics have absolutely no shielding. That means when you are using an induction cooktop, even from a meter away, it freaks out with every slight motion. If you leave it in place, then it doesn't freak out as much. So far, so good, just great deals of trouble with induction stovetops.

Cable breaks, replacement pricey
It worked for a number of months, and then it just stopped. Why? Because the shielded wire broke due to use in the oven. The design should have considered its use in the oven and the shield (which should have been like a mail) should have accounted for that. But, no: cheap engineering.

Yes, you can order replacements, pretty much at the same price as a new one! Don't be fooled by the removable feature that gives you the impression that you can cheaply fix it. You can't, but instead buy a new one.
