SMARTRO Food Scale Weight Grams and Ounces for Cooking Baking

I bought this product several weeks ago and it works exactly as advertised. Make sure you read the directions so you know how to use it to its full potential. I like the fact that it can be used as a thermometer and a timer. This product gives you the option to choose either your meat and doneness level as well as setting your own custom temperature level for what you are trying to cook. I only found out how to do that by reading the directions thoroughly. Since there are no words on the screen you need to look at the directions to understand what the letters and symbols on the touchscreen do in each different mode. The unit comes with two probes which is great because you now have a back up and most of the units I have purchased previously the probes are usually the issue. The probes come with a long cord which allows you to keep the monitor a little bit further away from the direct heat source. The display on this unit is clear and easy to read with large numbers and changing colors. Don’t be fooled by the inexpensive price this product seems to be a quality unit for a home cook.

The thermometer is a very easy to use (though needs minimum Skil to work with touch screen). Comes with short and clear user instruction. 2 AAA batteries are NOT included. Generally it is good quality. Touch screen Display is large and clear. It has Celsius / Fahrenheit option. You can use it also as timer for up to 99 min. You could either use the built in table stand or the magnets for your frigidaire Bottom line: good price per value

Consensus: Work horse entree level thermometer that does as advertised. Pros: Cheap Durable Battery hasn't died yet after 5 years of regular usage Touchscreen is responsive Temperatures seem to be accurate (I haven't done any controlled tests with an analog though) Cons: Setting Custom temps and timers require learning through the manual (not that big of a deal) Temperature probe wire will get tangled and mangled over time due to heat/pinching from oven door Moving from off to thermometer to timer might be finicky if you have big fingers/no nails

I decided to make a Standing Rib Roast for our Christmas Dinner this year - I watched numerous videos and googled numerous recipes looking for the perfect recipe!!! The one thing in common in all the videos and recipes was the use of a probe thermometer to monitor the internal temperature of the roast. I did not have a probe thermometer so Amazon to my rescue!!!! Found this one with excellent reviews, ordered it and it came three days before Christmas!!! Easy to use and did an excellent job - the Standing Rib Roast was amazing!!!!

I recently purchased this meat thermometer set after our other, one that was purchased specifically for use in a smoker, bit the dust. I guess we used it too much?? lol! Anyway... I really like that this one has two different probes - which is nice, we have a back-up probe for when the other one is dirty or when/if it goes ka-put. We primarily use this in our smoker, but will occasionaly use it in our large toaster oven/convection oven. The thermometer is very easy to use, even for those that aren't very technically inclined (like me!). The thermometer has a touch screen - making it simple, just press directly on the screen (no complicated buttons). And, the numbers on the screen are fairly large. Great for someone with failing eyesight like me (blind as a bat!). There's also a timer - which works great when smoking ribs or baking a whole cornish hen. Now, the first time that I used it, I did double-check the accuracy of the thermometer. I used it in the smoker - and when I pulled the turkey out, I also inserted a regular, non-electronic thermometer. The temperatures matched! Overall, I'm quite pleased with this purchase. It was fairly inexpensive, spot on with temperature, and works well in our smoker!

I bought this meat thermometer in Feb. 2020 and it’s been a less than 6 months and one of the sensor stopped working. Fortunately it did come with two(2) sensors. I do like to BBQ and grill. I would say in average, I used the thermometer maybe once week or so. I could not have used this thermometer more than 50 times. We’ll see how long does the 2nd sensor lasts. If it gives away like the 1st one within 6 months, I probably won’t buy this particular product again and look elsewhere to buy a different meat thermometer. While it was working, this is a decent thermometer; touch screen to change the temperature settings was a bit slow to respond, but it was accurate and easy to use. I realize that I paid barely over $10 for this product, but I wish that the sensor last over 6 months or so. Definitely durability is an issue for this thermometer. So you get what you paid for.

Absolute game changer, I cannot believe the price for something that changes cooking and gets all meat to the right temp exactly the way you want it. It is extremely accurate and I have had it for years and it is still going strong.

Disclaimer- I received this free for testing. Nice little thermometer. Comes w two probes and has strong magnets on the back. Can use pre set temps or custom set. Has a timer too if you want to cook by time rather than temp. Takes two triple a batteries. Screen lights up nicely and should be readable day or night. Easy to use once you read the instructions. I like having preset temps and the ability to customize. Gives you a baseline for some things. Temp seems pretty accurate and matches up w other food thermometers I’ve got. Overall very pleased with the product and happy to have gotten two probes.
