I threw out the other thermometer I had once I got this one. It shows the temperature very quickly, has rubber around it to protect it if it falls and is nicely made. I use it to take temps of all sorts of things.

Comfortable, compact. Measures temperature quickly and accurately. Clear electronic display with a wide measuring range. Includes a plastic case. Can show the temperature in both Celsius and Fahrenheit.

These are the thermometers you want. Do not buy the cheaper ones. They will break and its really not worth it. These are accurate and durable.

Really good thermometer and the rubber piece on it keeps it from breaking when dropped, which is a great feature if you work in a commercial kitchen.

I am getting to the point where I may spend quite a bit more money to find an instant read thermometer that really works reliably and fast. This one is okay. It does seem to read quickly, but the display can be hard to read depending on the angle and taking a reading twice in a row can yield very different results. Still, it seems on par with others in its price range I've used, and it is easy to clean and holds up well to being tossed around, so four stars.

The feature I like the most about this thermometer is that I can use C° or F° to measure temperature. It is well made, good quality and not so expensive. It comes with a rubber boot that protects it against falls. If the fall is to hard, the screen might damage.

We keep buying these for use in our restaurant due to the price point, but the quality isn't tremendous. The face pops off easily then affects the temperature gauge. Good for low level use not great for high turnover restaurants.

The only thermometers we use! They last a long time are have stood up to plenty of drops on the floor and best of all they're digital so you don't waste so much time calibrating.

Only downfall to this thermometer is the sleeve can be loose and doesn't hold the thermometer properly. Otherwise, great thermometer to have for most applications in the kitchen.

I like this newer model of the Taylor thermometer so much more! The rubber boot on it is great and makes it much easier to clean off. I also prefer this style of click button compared to the switch button.

I was pleased with the Taylor instant read pocket thermometer. I tucked the extra battery into the bottom of the rubber boot so I wouldn't lose it. It took about 60 seconds to read the temp of my smoked chicken.

I like this thermometer, I really do but it's far from perfect. First off all, it's not instant read. It can take several seconds if you're reading something HOT. Second of all the thermometer separates from the storage sleeve easier than I would like to see. Thirdly the clip is not all that strong. So it might separate from your jacket pocket easier than what you might expect. With all that being said, it's not a bad little thermometer for the price.

This is a good quality thermometer probe. It appears to display an accurate temperature but time will tell if it holds up. I wish the display was a little larger.

I love this thermometer. The clip is nice to have because it can store away on my attire and I have quick access to it. The added rubber boot is nice in case it gets dropped and adds a layer of protection to the product as well. A+!

The Taylor Classic 5" Probe Thermometer is durable, easy to use and extremely affordable. The thermometer seems to read accurately and is the one our kitchen staff reaches for time and time again. The protective sleeve and the extra battery were an added bonus that you won't find with many other thermometers.

Good value for the money: accurate, simple interface, auto shutoff, reads fairly quickly, rubber protective bumper, replaceable battery, and they give you an extra battery in the packaging. What's not to like?

This is a great little tool for anyone to have in the kitchen. It's very accurate, easy to read and I really like the on-off switch. It not only comes with a battery installed, so it's ready to use right out of the package, but it also comes with an extra battery. Great price too!

This is my go to thermometer. They are perfectly accurate and extremely durable. We use them multiple times a day for multiple applications - from ensuring our salads and dressings are being held at proper (cold) temperatures to finding the precise moment to take our meats out of the smoker (hot!), this little wonder does it all. They read quickly -- the thermometer reaches it's readable temp in half the time of a dial thermometer. Great buy.
