King Chef Barbecue Digital Thermometer and Timer with 2 Stainless Steel Probes, Refrigerator Magnets, and Instant Read Cooking, Black

Got in 2018, first probe died in 2020, second died halfway thru cooking my turkey yesterday. Like that it's magnetic, hate I can't customize temps better. Wish it lasted longer.

I cannot find a way to believe paying two or three times the prices could get me a better thermometer.Even though I worried that because of the super-low price , these thermometers would be junk ($9.95 each before quantity discount), I bought three hoping they might be OK. They were more than OK; they are fantastic. Easy to use, and the extra probe with each one was simply "icing on the cake." Free shipping too, no less.I would have given the other stars, but I had received this e-mail from the seller saying if I had any q's which I did, I could reply to the e-mail asking the q's: I replied with my q's which I got no reply; if someone advertises he or she will reply to queries, do it!In the end, I feel my q's were needless, but I am not a cook, and I had no way to know what I wanted to know.Again, the reasoning of my withholding one of the stars should not be held against the quality of the thermometers; having three, I have tested the three against one another, and they have displayed the same temperatures constantly.Not that I need more, but I wish I had ordered a larger quantity to get bigger discount, but three should do me.

I liked this thermometer, It worked great... now it no longer turns on. (tried replacing the batteries)Ordering another as I did like it when it worked. It only lasted about a month (4 - 5 uses before it would no longer turn on) hoping it was just a bad unit and the 2nd one will last longer. I will update the review after the new one has been used for some time.UPDATE: Bumping to 5 stars for now due to excellent customer service. After the product failed yesterday, I emailed them letting them know of the issue before I returned to amazon to order a replacement. Today I received a response back letting me know that they are sending me a replacement at no charge. I suppose I will have a spare now. If either of the replacements fail as the original did, I will return and adjust the rating again, but for a company to stand behind the product as this one does, I expect it was a fluke and not a company out to make a quick buck with a poor product.Latest update: Seems the first unit that failed was a one off. I have used both the replacement that was sent to me, and the 2nd order I placed many times and have not had any more failures.

Works well, used it a couple of times. My one complaint is the directions do not tell you how to set the alarm. It does tell you how to select a preset meat, or custom temperature. When I expected the alarm to go off when grilling some chicken and it did not, I set a custom temperature and dropped it down to 140 degrees. I was afraid the thermometer was broken because the still alarm didn't go off. Once I figured out how to set the alarm, it went off. Next time should go much better.All that said,the product does what it says it will do, I was even contacted by the company before I even had a chance to use it to see if I had any questions.Update: I contacted Pijio regarding the thermometer and they seemed to think it was defective. They sent me a new one that works great. There's no guesswork to setting it. Turn it on, select the meat you are cooking and insert the probe. It lets you know the current temperature so you can obsessively watch it climb to the "done" temperature.

I got this at a pretty discounted price by chance when looking for a meat thermometer for my boyfriend, who is a chef. He liked it so much he took it to work and I never saw it again, so I had to buy another! It's great, but just a tip: the magnets on the back of the monitor stick well to normal kitchen appliances at home but my boyfriend says they don't stick well in a professional kitchen setting. Still, definitely a great product. I'd buy this again, and I already recommended it to my friends who like to cook!A little info: it's oven safe up to 482, so as long as you don't cook above that you should be okay. Great for smokers since they're a lower temperature. Only one probe can be used at a time, the other is just a replacement. Lots of settings and timers!

I've only used this once so far, for cooking our Thanksgiving turkey, but I'm not really impressed. The magnets are not adequate for the weight of the device when there are batteries in it, it slides down the metal device before grabbing hold, so I ended up setting it on the counter while cooking. The preset temperature for turkey is higher than what is recommended in cookbooks, so be prepared for dry turkey if you cook to that temperature. Also disappointed the timer maxes out at 99 minutes, there is no hour(s) option.

I actually like this unit, though I'm a bit baffled by the inclusion of two probes when it can only read one at a time. It has a magnetic back, which makes it nice for use on the side shelf of a grill or the door of an oven.Alas, my Amazon search specified Bluetooth, which this is not. Pay close attention to the actual product descriptions to avoid ordering the wrong item.

I have not had much of a chance to use the Thermometer. I have used it three times seasoning my new smoker. It worked as publicized. I wish they made one that had two probes, one to place into the meat and one to monitor the smoker temp. Wireless is also a plus. The next one I buy will be capable of monitoring the meat temp as well as cooker temp remotely.
