Product Description
* Wireless thermometer alerts you when food reaches desired temperature * LCD screen shows temperatures between 0 and 392 degrees F * Remote with detachable belt clip and table stand for portable viewing * 4-by-3-1/2-inch thermometer with 7-1/2-inch probe; 3-1/2-by-3-inch remote * Washing by hand recommended; 4 AA batteries required; imported No more waiting by the oven to monitor cooking progress. Pinzon's wireless thermometer alerts you when food has reached your preset temperature--even if you're in another room or outside. The thermometer features a digital LCD screen and remote wireless probe. The 4-by-3-1/2-inch thermometer has a range from zero to 392 degrees F (also displays Celsius) and a 7-1/2-inch probe, so you can test even the thickest part of a large turkey for doneness. A magnet, belt clip, and small table stand make it easy to keep the 3-1/2-by-3-inch remote nearby. An audio alert signals when the food has reached the desired temperature. The thermometer and the remote each require two AA batteries. This set should be washed by hand and is imported.

 It works like it should. January 23, 2008

I've seen Alton Brown use these on his tv show (good eats), not this brand per say, but a probe thermometer. It works and the wireless function is nice, though not very necessary. The only thing taht i could see at fault is when ever you press a button on the main thermostat, it makes a shrill beeping noise. Other than that, very good deal at $10 or $15(which is what I paid, but then got $5 back since it was reduced the day after I got it.)
Great item for the price February 1, 2008

This is a great product for the price. Probe thermometers are great cooking tools and I like the easy-to-read display. It also switches between Fahrenheit and Celsius for those of you who enjoy such things.

I was Lucky enough to get Two of These on a Gold Box daily deal for less than $10.00 a Piece! I wish I Had bought a lot more for Gifts. I don't Know of anyone who Can Cook, Roast a Perfect Med Rare and if so, Not have to be Keeping a Constant eye on Your $50 Rib Roast using what Many times is a unreliable stick meat thermometer that takes too long to register. This One stays in the meat from the Moment You place it in the oven. This wireless remote Thermometer is Great, works as advertised and easy to set up. In fact if I didn't Know what I had Paid for them on sale I would still seriously Consider Buying One because I Love Cooking Gadgets that Work. This One Does. Highly Recommend.

I purchased one to monitor the temperature of my wood furnace in the garage. Works great and is more accurate than one I purchased for more than twice the price.
Cool remote function! December 1, 2008

I've had the Pinzon Remote Control Thermometer for a year now and am very pleased - I was not sure at first because there are a few very negative reviews. Clearly these people did not know how to use the devise. This great little tool takes all the guesswork out of roasting chicken or turkey or a roast beef or whatever else you care to cook in your oven. Now, I'd be lost without it.
You insert the metal probe into whatever you're cooking, set the target temperature and start roasting. When your roast reaches the desired temperature, the thermometer will beep to let you know. Perfectly cooked. The real perk is the remote control - you can be multi-tasking - like I love to do - in another room and the remote tells you time to check on the bird!
When you wash the probe, you *must* be careful. The probe is a metal tube that contains a temperature sensor. At the point where the cable from the main unit enters this tube, it is sealed merely by crimping the tube. It isn't waterproof. So during washing, if you allow water around this area, it will find its way into the tube and kill the sensor. This is the basis, I believe, for many of the complaints regarding the probe's fragility.
I wrap my hand tightly around the top of the probe when I wash it to prevent this from happening, and I'm still using the original. I use it at least twice a month, so that means it has been used at least 100 times and washed 100 times and it works fine. As far as complaints that the sensor is inaccurate, I've got 100+ perfectly cooked chickens, turkeys and roast beefs that contradict that assertion.
If I have a complaint its that I wish it had better instructions. The ones included are a little cryptic. However it is basic enough to figure out.
