accurate and easy to read
My old "instant read" thermometer is getting ready for the battery to die, and I figured I'd get a replacement to get me through until I could order a battery and install it. Saw this one and thought, hey, it will do the job. Well, to my surprise, it's now my go to thermometer for multiple reasons.First... the read out. It's easy to read, AND this baby reacts to gravity! Yep, you heard that right, if you stick it straight down into something, the display is where you'd expect it on any instant read thermometer. Stick it into something sideways, and the display changes so that it's displayed up and down in a readable fashion. Stick it in upside down and the display again moves so that you can read it perfectly without trying to sprain you neck or stand on your head! NEVER saw that in any thermometer before and I simply LOVE that feature!Second...this one got me excited. When I unpacked it I thought to myself "it's a shame they can't make a rechargeable instant read thermometer!" and then I started to laugh... it seems they not only can, but this is USB chargeable, so NO MORE REPLACING BATTERIES! No more need for a standby thermometer while waiting for a new battery to arrive, no more pulling out the battery only to have the guts of the gadget come out with the battery and it never works again (been there, done that). Just plug it into a USB charger and you're off and running.Third... it has a built in magnet in the back, so now I can use my thermometer, then just stick it back on the front of my stove, ready for the next usage, instead of rummaging through drawers, to looking all over my countertops to find where I left it. Now, it won't stick to my refrigerator, it slides down the side of it, but it stick perfectly to the front of my stove next to my burner controls, so it's always easy to find and right where I need it!And fourth... I'm a big tea drinker, and I often drink green teas. Now, many don't know this, but you don't use boiling water for green tea, it turns it bitter. The perfect temperatures for green tea is between 159 and 165 degrees F for that perfect cup of delicious green tea. And with the large top on this thermometer it's super easy to stick into my tea pot to measure the water temperature WITHOUT steaming my fingers!I really REALLY like this ChefsTemp Pocket Pro, it does the job very well AND goes above and beyond my expectations for an instant read thermometer. Two thumbs up on this one, and if I had more thumbs I'd give it those as well. For me, it's worth the price!

Probe reacts instantly to temperature changes, easy to read
This digital kitchen thermometer is easy to use, straightforward. I would say the best feature is how quickly it adjusts/reacts to temperature changes. It's almost instantaneous. You put it in meat, and it immediately shows the temp, you take it out and it drops fast. Its so quick, which is a helpful feature because you don't want to insert it and have to hold it there while the thermometer gets to temp. This one gets to temp super quick and stabilizes. Really appreciate this feature!Its well designed. The buttons work fine, the small features like how the display rotates and how you can even lock the display are small details, and they included them. The other feature is self turn-off when it is below 102 F AND hasn't seen temperature changes in 15 minutes - smart idea, smart way to design the power off mode. Well designed and made. I like the fact that its USB-C rechargeable, so you don't have to find batteries when it gets low. The temperature accuracy is spot on, I found it to be less than 2 deg F. (and I was comparing to my other digital thermometer which could also be off by 2 deg). I am completely OK with 2 deg F in temperature, and I think this is even less. It's all around a good product.

Accurate!
The ChefsTemp Pocket Pro Digital Instant Read Thermometer with Magnet for Kitchen, Food Cooking passed the boiling water temperature test! I make candy during the holidays and need a thermometer that provides accurate readings to ensure great candy. I also want accuracy when it comes to meat and deep fried foods. As to the design, the thermometer readout could be larger and bolder. A bold readout would help during grilling in the bright sun or working over a steamy pot, but the backlight option is helpful. The rotating orientation of the readout is very helpful, especially when using sideways on meat on the grill! The plastic sleeve helps protect the probe but the magnet is weak—perhaps the back should be flat instead of rounded, as sometimes the thermometer slides down from its spot on the refrigerator. A real plus is being able to recharge it. No more dead batteries when you are ready to use it—just keep it charged! Overall, I’m looking for accuracy, and so far, this thermometer provides that.

Just okay..
I don’t need to use this type of thermometer very often and haven’t had a chance to actually try it yet. The piece the thermometer slides into is very loose so if it got moved around in a drawer a bunch it would easily come off. Does feel a bit cheap but I’m sure it would do the job.
