Works as expected, good quality
Works perfectly. Very easy to read and is accurate. I measured it against another digital meat thermometer and everything seems right on point. It's waterproof and easy to clean and I would consider this a good value. It increases your cooking abilities and confidence knowing when things are done.Here’s my rating scale for products:1 Star: Do not buy. This item has serious flaws. I would never under any circumstances use again.2 Stars: Do not buy. Its usable at best, but you could easily find something better.3 Stars: Just ok. Buy if you can't find an alternative. Some issues need to be addressed.4 Stars: Recommend purchase. This item met my expectations.5 Stars: I love this product and would highly recommend to friends & family.Additional Information: As a Vine reviewer, I know that people depend on these early revies as I to depend on reviews when shopping on Amazon. I fully intend to give honest insights.

A Chef’s New Go-To: Fast, Accurate, and a Feature I Didn’t Know I Needed
The Lonicera Digital Meat Thermometer is a precise, economical, fast-reading probe thermometer with a few standout features. The red plastic housing is lightweight but slightly larger than similar models making the build feel a little cheap. However, it fits nicely in the hand and has some added texturing for grip. Activated by simply swinging out the probe, there’s also a button for toggling between Celsius and Fahrenheit or turning the unit on/off. The unit has built-in magnets for attaching to anything steel, and its IP67 waterproof rating means you can get it wet, just not submerge it for long periods. The unique auto-rotating feature changes the orientation of the display depending on which way you’re holding it, an unexpected feature which adds significant use value.Function:This type of thermometer is essential for adhering to safety regulations in the commercial kitchen I manage, but I used one for home cooking and barbecuing long before becoming a chef. This functions much like those I currently use at work and home but has some additional features which make it stand out, specifically auto-rotation, actual instant-read, and hidden magnets for attaching to anything steel.As with all new thermometers (and a weekly health requirement in the kitchen), I placed this into iced water to check accuracy and calibrate. Iced water should be 32 F, but you seldom get this reading unless using distilled water and ice. This unit registered 32.5 F, which is usual with new units when using tap water and ice-machine ice. The backlight is sufficiently bright, and the probe has a fine, sharp point for easy insertion. I’ve been using this at home for the last two weeks, and because I’m used to constantly temping everything at work, I also temp everything at home. It registers temps almost immediately, no waiting for the device to cool or heat and provide an accurate reading. You can wash it right under the faucet to avoid cross-contamination, and it turns off automatically after a minute to save the easily-replaceable and readily-available CR2032 battery. Using it on a roast chicken, the probe instantly registered differences in temperature depending on depth of probe insertion and portion of the bird being temped. I verified the readings with my (much slower) digital probe which I have used for years, and the readings were consistent. My old one is on its last legs, and this is a worthy replacement.My favorite feature is the display auto-rotation. Just like a phone, the screen flips depending on the orientation of the thermometer. I’m used to reading temps upside down, but it’s really nice not having to and something I haven’t seen in other devices.Verdict:As a digital thermometer for home, this excels in value, accuracy, and added features. When it comes time to replace the thermometers at work, this will also be my go-to. Its IP67 water resistance, ease of cleaning, and instant-read functionality make it competitive with more expensive models, and the handy magnets keep it accessible.Pros: Auto-rotating, bright display. IP67 water resistance for easy cleaning. Truly instant-read.Cons: Lightweight, red plastic housing doesn’t feel super-durable.

Works as well as more expensive digital thermometers
Lonicera Digital Meat Thermometer for Food Cooking. Instant Read Within 1 Sec and ±0.9℉Accuracy with Thermocouple Sensor. IP67 Waterproof, Auto-Rotating Display, Auto Wake up (Red). I ordered this digital meat thermometer for my daughter who will cook almost everything except chicken. She is concerned that she will not cook it thoroughly. I have a more expensive digital meat thermometer that I love. The packing is not fancy, maybe this is part of the reason the cost is lower. I was pleasantly surprised that this thermometer is similar in size and function as my thermometer. Simply lift the thermometer probe from it's resting spot, it turns on automatically, insert into item that needs tested, and within a few seconds you have an accurate temperature. Clean the probe, reinsert into the handle, turns off automatically. The readings were nearly identical when testing hot water and meat. This thermometer is not only great for cooking meat, but also for candy making.

Large easy to read Display
Where do I start with this thermometer? First off, love the color and it makes it so easy to locate in the drawer with all of my many kitchen gadgets. It takes a very common CR 2032 button battery which I actually had a couple of in the home so at least I won't have to worry when it comes time to change it.It has a temperature hold function which allows you to lock the temp after removing the probe. I can see this coming in handy especially with holiday cooking when you tend to have more than one meat going at a time. It's very easy to turn off and on by a simple opening and closing of the probe and another great feature is that it has an auto shut off after one minute if you fail to close it right away. This is great when you're busy and can't or don't want to wash it and immediately put it away.The screen is bright and very easy to read with the bright blue light behind the numbers. My sight isn't quite what it used to be as I get older and this is a welcome relief. :) The stainless-steel probe is nice and sharp and there are temps listed on the device itself for ease of use. Lastly the plastic seems sturdy and it's FDA approved, another bonus. The current price point for the quality is a really great deal in my opinion.
