This is a superior product. It is easy,repeat easy, to use and to read. It is the best meat thermometer we have ever had.
Pyrex makes some of the best most affordable products! 2006-01-13
This thermometer is excellent, especially at it's very low price. I know some others are complaining that 3-5 seconds is not instant.. but, what about instant oatmeal? That takes 3-5 minutes. Instant just means you will get the temp within a few seconds rather than a few minutes. Works great, don't get it wet.
Best amazon purchase I ever made 2005-11-15
I use this all the time, normally forget to turn it off, and still have not even used up the 1st battery. It came with an extra. I never had good luck with instant thermometers before, and the kind you leave in get dirty and unreadable. I admit, I have never dropped it in water, but I have had no trouble and have had it for 2 years.
Accurate but a display issue.

Very accurate thermometer. However I do not think it has an automatic cut off regarding power. Mine is now useless as far as display, I think the battery has gone dead. If a calculator has an automatic turn off mechanism, why not this?
Works as Advertised

Instant is not quite accurate, but if your willing to wait 3-5 second, it will give you a reading. I checked it against the tap water (hot & cold) and it appeared to be accurate. Postive features:
* Provided 2 batteries in the package
* Quick reaction time to final temp
* Was able to fit the second battery inside the case
* The protective sleeve doubles as a holder (holes in the side take the probe so holde is perpendicular to the probe)
Overall, slick, fast, good price.
Down side, I thought instant read meant instant read, to me that is 1 second or less. Oh well.
Display Problems

Reads from -50 to +392 degrees F or -45 to +200 degrees C
Great idea. But, is there water in your kitchen? 2002-10-17
I thought this was the greatest thermometer ever, until it was very briefly immersed in water (I saw it drop, I picked it up...1-2 seconds, if that?). Dead. New battery...didn't fix it. Careful diagnosis by a small electronics expert; can't fix it. Can't return it. Now, I know not to exposure my appliances to water; but really... this is a pocket thermometer, and it was an instant. Unreturnable.
Really. A kitchen tool, a thermometer no less, that can't stand very brief exposure to moisture!
Best out of 5 that I have owned! Love it!!!!!! 2001-09-17
I cook meat, chicken, fish, or pork everday. I am very concerned about the saftey of the meats I serve my children, so I always use a thermometer. This is the best one I have ever purchased. It is also the most expensive, but you do get what you pay for. It gives out a very fast read and I found it to be very clear. It cleans easy and is small enough to store anywhere, unlike the fork thermometers. I have had no problems with this thermometer. Mine came with an extra battery, which makes it a good value. Plus, I trust Pyrex, and with my family's health, that says a lot. I would by this again.
Crummy Thermometer 
2001-08-28
I'm not happy with my purchase of this thermometer. The display was very hard to read and either it is not working or the batteries drain very quickly. I've been able to use it once and now it is not working. I am trying to find the manufacturer so I can write them.
A Very Good Digital Thermometer 2001-08-16
This is a superb thermometer. I purchased two of them and calibarated them against boiling water. The readings were 212 and 211.2 respectively (Celcius readings are also available). Response time from room temperature (70 F)to 212 F is 4 seconds. Temperature range is -50 F to 390 F. My only reason for not giving this product a 5 is that there should be a clip on the stem for fastening it to the side of a vessel, such as a saucepan, bowl etc.
