Quiseen Digital Instant-Read Meat Thermometer for Grill and Kitchen

I received this thermometer using a discount from an online coupon club in exchange for a review. I'll answer questions posted to the review.I have been a decent home cook for about 12 years. I have never had issues getting anyone sick with my cooking probably because I tend to over cook chicken and pork on purpose, to make sure it's done.With the exception of the thanksgiving turkey that comes with its own thermometer, this is the first time I actually use a thermometer to make sure my chicken is cooked, but not overdone.My observations are as follows:1. It is very intuitive. On/off button. C or F for temperature. Handy chart on the back of the thermometer to see what is the correct temperature of your meats.2. It has a cover. It's a little hard to get it out of it, but you don't need to call your strongest family member to help you.3. Easy meat insertion. Quick to get to temperature, just a few seconds.4. Comes with batteries. Ready to use after a simple wash. Package opens easily.5. Looks exactly like the thermometers I've seen used in food shows.6. I don't believe you are meant to bake this in the oven with food. Remove food, check, remove thermometer.Unfortunately I cannot compare the reading of this thermometer to one more expensive since this is my first one. I didn't give it 5 stars because I don't "love it". It's nice and adequate. It isn't overly wonderful for the price or particularly beautiful. It is functional. How long the battery lasts remains to be seen. So far, so good.

I bought one of these 6 months ago for frothing milk. I hand-washed the tip and never washed the top. After around 4 months some segments of the digits started not coming on. Now about half the segments don't work, making guessing the temperature it is displaying a kind of puzzle! Basically the right product, but not of sufficient quality. Would not buy again.

This is MUCH nicer than I was expecting. I love that I can change the temp setting between Celsius and and Fahrenheit. It is nice and long so I can easily read the information from even a think roast or a turkey which was often a problem because I would have to hold my other thermometer with my hands while it came to temp. This is fast and it seems right on with the temperature references that were printed on the box. I also really like the storage case which will keep it nice and safe in my kitchen drawer. I received a discount on the price of this thermometer for providing my honest opinion. I do have to say... even though this is a meat thermometer, the temperature gauge and the quickness of the temp settings makes me wonder if I can get away with using it for candy. I think that it very well will meet it's fudgy match this coming weekend!

The LCD did not work properly, thank goodness for amazons great return policy

Great accessory at a low price. You don't even need to know how to read; just clip this to your white apron and your friends will think you went to culinary school. Then you could sort-of lie and say the you'd prefer to be a private chef because owning restaurants can be draining more often than fulfilling.No apron? Clip it to your T-shirt when you're at the BBQ. Helps you throw grill attitude.Takes about 10 seconds to register, so this is better for roasts, turkeys and large cuts rather than steaks.Just realized it has a "hold" button. Not sure what it's for. My last rotary phone had a hold button... the flashing red one.

I HAVE YET TO GET IT TO READ A TEMPERATURE.

It's only ok because it is not instant read. Takes too long to get final temperature 10-15 seconds

For about 10 bucks, this thermometer does everything I need it to do. It is simple to operate, easy to read and pulps the temperature of my steaks and chops quickly. Although it may not last through the years, I figure that if it lasts even 2 years, my ten bucks was well spent. There is a hold function that have no clue how to use, or what needs holding. The only other drawback is that it takes an uncommon watch battery that nothing else in my house uses, but I guess that's what Amazon's for. Recommend<discount provided for evaluation and review
