Deiss PRO Digital Meat Thermometer – Ultra Fast Digital Cooking Thermometer with Backlight Display - Waterproof Digital Thermometer for Beef, Poultry, BBQ – Instant Read Digital Candy Thermometer

This was a great item. I was very pleased with it. I replaced the battery one time. Now it does not work. I replaced the battery again and nothing. All that showed up are the letters LLLL or upside down 7777. How do I replace this item?

I have always considered myself pretty careful about food safety. I thought I was cooking adequately based on cooking time, temperature and appearance. Then 4 years ago I bought my first meat thermometer – this Deiss PRO Digital Meat Thermometer. Turns out cooking time, temperature and appearance are just guessing points – and I was often guessing very wrong.So now I always check with my thermometer and have the satisfaction of knowing the food is safe. And, as an extra bonus, I also get a more consistently pleasing taste.So . . . 5 stars.But I wish I could give an extra star or two for incredible customer service. A few days ago, when I was drying the probe of my thermometer after a thorough wash, the probe pulled out of its socket. I carefully tucked the wire back and reinserted the probe, but the unit only displayed gibberish.So I went on Amazon to buy a replacement, and I noticed there’s a “Lifetime Warranty”. I was a bit skeptical, as the item was 4 years old, and there are a lot of weasel warranties out there. But I figured what the heck, I went to the Deiss website and sent a message telling them what happened.The very next morning, I had an email saying it was covered by the warranty, and I should send my Amazon order number and current shipping address. (The Amazon order number was no problem since Amazon keeps all your information for you. Click on the black banner /“Returns and Orders”).Three days later a new Deiss PRO was in my mailbox.Great product. The Manufacturer backs it. Don’t try to guess if your fish is done.

I received the thermometer within a day of ordering. I do lots of grilling and smoking, and these help you ensure the meat is at the correct temperature. The thermometer comes in a nice box, shrink wrapped with instructions and a spare battery. There is no little tab to pull to activate the unit, so if yours sat on the shelf for a while, the spare battery would com in handy from the start. I'll tuck mine away for later. It is a standard CR2032 battery available most anywhere batteries are sold.This thermometer has a feature I've not seen on other instant read thermometers, a calibration feature. The instructions provided tell you to take cup of ice water from the fridge, and immerse the probe in the ice water. I found that placing the probe directly on a ice cube provided better results. The thermometer correctly read 32 degrees F out of the box. I tested in boiling water, and got a reading of 111.8 F which was close enough for me.I probed steaks just removed from Sous Vide bath, and the temperature was exactly what was set.The thermometer has a hole in the handle for hanging, but the instructions indicate it can be hung vertically on the refrigerator using the internal magnet. A great tool for the money!

The product description and some reviews mention AAA batteries, but in fact it uses a lithium coin battery. It comes with a spare, as pictured. No AAA anywhere! That means other reviews are for a completely different product than this one.That being said, it works, and it's as fast as every other one that looks just like it. Calibrate in freezing water (always 32F) and check it in boiling water: send it back if it doesn't read at least 210F in boiling.

I purchased this after my old digital thermometer suddenly stopped working. I cook a lot and I’ve been cooking even more often during quarantine, even making dishes using bulk meat straight out of the freezer so I felt a replacement food thermometer was a necessity. I did a few tests and it seems very accurate with both hot & cold temps. I like that the probe tucks away and it turns on & off by pulling it out and clicking it back into place. It’s super easy to see the large readout with the backlight and there’s a strong magnet to hang it on your fridge or the side of your oven to keep it handy. I was also glad to see that while it came with a battery pre-installed there was also a backup battery in the package. Considering the ease of use, functionality, & price I’m very happy with this digital thermometer and I’d recommend it to other home chefs.

This thermometer, purchased in 2018, worked great until it fell apart in 2024. True to their word, Deiss mailed out a new one to me! Wonderful customer support!

Does what it's made to do. I use this all the time whether indoors or outside, works as promised.

I ordered this thermometer to replace another brand that I have used for a number of years. That brand now costs over $100! That's about -> six times as much <- as this thermometer. This unit works great and the temperature appears immediately (not the 2 - 5 seconds advertised).It is a great bargain, and it even includes an extra battery! Well done, Deiss!!
