GoodCook Everyday Instant Read Thermometer

As described. It's responsive in terms of "read speed"Gives you the temperature of the meat quickly. That said, it's obviously not as "instance" as the expensive digital ones, but it definitely serves the purpose. I've had no issues on my BBQ using these to ascertain when the meat should be taken off the grill.

Great thermometer, and gives you the temperature quickly.

Works well. Good quality and price. It is a little small to see especially in high heat settings like on a grill.

My favorite thermostat.

I must say I will "often" pop a large cut of beef into the microwave for 5 or 7 seconds..... but if you're making sure it is above 160 then you are following the proper procedure. Bovine do not use e-coli or bird tools to digest so you should be safe by searing the entire outside and then when it is looking and smelling perfect zap it but really try 5 seconds first. it really finishes a large steak very well. Watch it puff right up (scrambled).for any poultry or Pork you should make sure the 160 degree mark is passed these devices are in the genetics and if you are not careful you might find you are on their list and go wild like they want to....

I purchased one of these as our finicky electronic thermometer had stopped working and I thought one that did not have electronics might be a good alternative. According to the directions, this thermometer can be calibrated although it allegedly is accurate when shipped. Well, I used it and it read lower than some other ones we have, and when I went to calibrate it in a bowl of ice with just a little water as the directions said to do, the thermometer read 20 degrees fahrenheit, and no matter which way I turned the calibration nut the reading never changed. I finally threw the thermometer away in disgust. For the price it is not worth returning. Spend your money elsewhere.

I had one of these previously and liked that it was a simple, no frills, easy read thermometer so when I needed to replace it I bought the same one. And I found the original one I had bought so now I have 2!

It works!
