Editorial Review: Product Description: This is the ONLY remote meat / barbecue thermometer that can monitor 2 types of meat or 2 doneness levels (i.e. rare, medium, well done, etc.). Just insert one or both probes into your favorite cuts of meat and select how want them cooked. When the meat is cooked exactly to your liking, the receiver will let you know by beeping. Both the receiver and the transmitter (which is attached to the probes) display the progressive meat temperature in 5-second intervals on their easy-to-read LCD screens. The receiver also displays a clock and timer. Suitable for outdoor barbecue or indoor oven use, this dual-probe wireless barbecue thermometer system makes the perfect gift for anyone who enjoys cooking! Use it to get perfectly cooked beef, chicken, fish, pork, lamb or any other common grill meats. Uses 2 AAA and 2 AA batteries (not included). Amazon.com Review: Cooking a dinner-party roast, holiday turkey, or backyard-barbecue pork loin to precisely the proper temperature without fuss is a snap with this thermometer. You can even monitor two foods (beef and lamb, for instance) simultaneously, since two stainless-steel probes are included, each 6 inches long and each connected to a 39-inch stainless-steel wire. Here's how it works: program the tool (two AA batteries included) by selecting either "beef," "veal," "lamb," "pork," "chicken," or "turkey." Then program to rare, medium-rare, medium, or well-done. The monitor displays the proper temperature--which can be altered by pressing a button. Place the probe into, say, a turkey. Run the wire from the oven and close the door. (Door should remain closed until turkey is done so oven temperature doesn't vary.) Plug the wire into the monitor, and open the monitor's built-in stand. Set the clock to the current time. (Remember, two probes can be used simultaneously for different foods, with the monitor programmed separately for each.) The monitor constantly displays the turkey's internal temperature and elapsed cooking time. (The timer can be used independently of thermometer.) When the turkey reaches the selected temperature, an alarm sounds. Meanwhile, hook the pager (two AA batteries included) to your belt or drop it into your pocket. The pager beeps when the monitor's alarm sounds and works up to 75 feet away, liberating the cook from the kitchen. The probes can also be plugged into the pager, which displays a food's temperature on its LCD screen. So barbecuing brisket outside, roasting chicken in the oven, and keeping track of both is possible. --Fred Brack Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Worked well, but lost connection many, many timesThe probes worked well for a pig roast. No problem with heat or other. However, the connection to the remote monitoring unit dropped the connection many, many times. It was easy to reconnect, but annoying. Rating:  - Nearly perfectI have had no problems using this and am very pleased with the results. I have had no difficulties with the wireless function and it has worked all the way to my neighbor's house, through several walls. The only incident was completely my fault whe I had taken the probe out of a hot piece of meat, then forgot that it was hot, and grabbed on to it a few minutes later which burned my fingers slightly. Pros: I really find the ability to manually select an exact temperature really improves the ... Read More Rating:  - Great idea, but ...Apparently this company doesn't have terrific quality control; reviews of their other thermometers frequently mention problems with bad batches of product. This is the first item I've bought from their line, and it's a bust. The transmitter and receiver lose their connection every couple of hours, and don't communicate at all when separated by 25 feet or more. Much worse, the sensors register temps at least 40 degrees lower than actual temps, as measured by charcoal ribs and a cheap but reliable ... Read More Rating:  - Must-have for Barbecue.I bought this unit a few years ago. I tried it on Thanksgiving and wrongly thought it didn't give an accurate reading. I dug it out a few weeks ago and tested it in boiling water against a probe thermometer I thought was accurate. Turned out this thermometer had better accuracy (practically spot on). I've seen reviews complaining about the range. I tested that out as well before using it with the smoker. It's worked from downstairs when the transmitter was upstairs. It ... Read More Rating: - Superb for Sausage MakingMy husband loves this temperature probe. We enjoy making our own sausage. With this temperature probe, he can monitor the smoke temperature at the same time he monitors the internal temperature of the sausage. It's a bargain. The remote readout is a big plus because he can do something else and get notified if he needs to tend the sausages. This temperature probe was better than expected. We highly recommend it. |
