I bought it to test the temp of fresh pizza dough while kneading for it don't go above 23 degrees it gives a very accurate reading. !
Excellent well made product, works just as described, well packaged, would definitely recommend.
I've owned a succession of food thermometers over the years. They were either flimsy and barely lasted a year or wildly inaccurate. This though is the bees knees. I know I have to look on-line for the desired internal temp for a given product but with the internet and my trusty Alexa that did not present an issue. The first time I used it it showed that the right temperature for by roast loin of pork was met with 20 minutes to spare according to the my oven guide. Panicking, I let it go for longer than needed but the thermapen was absolutely right and my over guide useless. Just is case I tested the device using the boiling and ice water check and it was bang on with the temperature range. I shall now only use this to check the readiness of anything I cook in future.
A brilliant product. An essential kitchen tool for anyone be they a beginner or professional chef.
My previous thermapen worked very well and I didn't encounter any problems. When the screen blanked I realised the batteries needed replacing. However, I struggled to remove the old ones and in so doing, I broke a small part, resulting in the need to replace it. I would happily give the product five stars, but I feel the battery compartment lets the product down, hence four stars.
