Taylor 5286498 Details

Easily ensure food safety with this Taylor 5286498 Type-K digital thermocouple thermometer. This compact thermometer is easy to hold in your hand when testing the temperatures of meat, fish, poultry, and more. Able to handle a substantial temperature range of -58 to 662 degrees Fahrenheit (-50 to 350 degrees Celsius), this thermocouple will be the most versatile and useful thermometer in your kitchen. Not only can this thermocouple measure scalding temperatures of boiling liquids, but it can also read the temperature of products in your deep freezer. For ultimate durability, it is IP65 rated for water resistance.

The thermometer boasts incredible accuracy of +/- 1% of a temperature reading or 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit (1 degree Celsius), whichever is greater. If temperatures are lower or higher than the acceptable range, the screen will display an "HHH" or "LLL". This unit also has a hold feature to hold the reading, and an auto shut-off feature to preserve battery life after 5 minutes. Featuring a recalibration function and a button to switch between Fahrenheit and Celsius temperature readings, this thermocouple has customization abilities for all your specific kitchen needs.

This thermometer has a 1.5 mm diameter step down probe, which is thinner than most non-FDA recommended probe thermometers. This makes it great for getting the temperature on foods like hamburger patties and fish fillets. This K-Type probe produces results in just 5 seconds, while the digital display and oversized 1 1/8" LCD readout make temperatures easy to see. Two AAA batteries are included. This unit will display "Lo" when batteries need to be replaced.

Just bought my second one of these and and it already tapped out. First one started giving us erratic readings, bouncing all over the place. When we received the new one, we swapped probes with the old one and it worked great...for about 2 weeks. It died, no readout on the screen, no power. Changed batteries, cleaned it up, still no worky worky. Swapped to the new unit, worked well...for about 2 weeks. Same.Exact.Thing. Dead. I'm done. In the immortal words of George W. Bush, "Fool me once, shame on, shame on you. Fool me ... you can't get fooled again!"

Thank you for your review, Dominick! We would like to gather more information about your experience with this thermometer. A Customer Solutions Representative will contact you soon.
