After about 20 uses it's time to buy one that is sturdy and works. Plastic holding probe when folded broke second time used it. Batteries don't stay fixed, so device shuts off unexpectedly (battery cover does not fit properly). Switches are balky - difficult to get hold to hold. When it works, it's great, but it is now in the recycle bin.  Read Less

Note: Sample received for review.My 4-star rating is a bit deceptive. I would rate all my meat thermometers 3-4 stars. I can't say I love them because of the time it takes for them to register a temperature. Plus, I have confidence cooking most meats without a thermometer. The only meat thermometers I love are the ones you can use in the meat while it's cooking. I have two of the latter, one that came with my oven, and a bluetooth one for cooking on the barbecue. I use both of these cooking thermometers for large roasts, which I prefer to not take chances with.This thermometer is not to be used in the oven or stovetop.The only way to use this thermometer is to remove the roast, put it on the counter, shove this thermometer in, and wait for it to register the temp. You really can't stick it into a cooking bird or roast while it's in the oven, count to ten seconds, then hit the hold button and pull it out. In fact, I can't do that with any of my thermometers. They all have their lag time. That's why I love the ones I can keep in while the meat is cooking.As far as accuracy goes, I'd have to say it's within a couple fractions of a degree.Bear in mind, all digital thermometers have their sensing quirks. Best to err on the side of caution until you get a sense of how the thermometer works. For example, some thermometers will register medium-rare at 150 degrees F. and some will register it at 145 degrees or even 140.I tested this thermometer against another and this one took much longer to reach the proper temperature. It's not an instant read like the ad copy states.I love the folding probe feature. I mean, it's great. Have you ever been stuck by something in your knife or utilities drawer? Let's face it, without the folding option, these temperature sensors take up a lot of room, and if your kitchen utility drawer looks like mine, you're going to get stuck one day, hopefully not under the finger nail.If you don't mind the wait for your temperature, this is a nice thermometer.  Read Less
