Customer Reviews of Taylor Commercial Waterproof Digital Thermometer
Customer Rating:  Summary: Easy to use Comment: This Thermometer is easy to use and easy to clean being waterproof. It is super for those thin pieces of food like Hambergers. Making sure the food I fix for my family is cooked safely is important and this Taylor Commercial Thermometer does the job. Customer Rating: Summary: Great Buy Comment: The thermometers were just what we needed for our work. Much cheaper than I could purchase anywhere else. Customer Rating: Summary: Outstanding Commercial Product for Industrial Use Comment: We bought this product to use in an industrial plating company where we are monitoring hot batch tanks of caustic and acid solutions. These inexpensive and durable digital thermometers are easy to read, use and maintain / calibrate. We are very pleased with this find. Customer Rating:  Summary: So so thermometer Comment: It's an okay thermometer, but it takes quite a long time to stabilize at a temperature (10 to 20 seconds and that is just too long to wait every time taking a temperature measurement.) In fact, I am now using an old analog thermometer, as it is faster than this one. Customer Rating: Summary: Frustrating, Slow, Inaccurate, and Leaves a Big Hole Comment: We purchased this after a number of disasters resulted from our serving under or overdone burgers, steaks, sausages, and pork. We needed a reliable method for determining the internal temperature of grilled meat. Leave in type thermometers only really work well on roasts and other large pieces of meat. We thought this "instant read" thermometer would do the trick. We were extremely disappointed with the thermometer. During the first use, after we lifted the lid of the grill to check our burger's temp, (we like to shoot for 145 and let carryover do the rest) it read 141 F. after 15 seconds. That is an eternity to keep the lid off the grill just to take a burger's temp. Flare ups happen fast on a hot grill. When we extracted the probe, we sadly watched our burger's juices flow out of the hole like water from a faucet. A minute of additional cooking later, a check of the same hole read 152 F after 10 seconds. We chewed on our overdone burgers and contemplated the causes for such a large variance in temp after only a few seconds. Not to be discouraged, we read the calibration instructions and checked freezing and boiling points. Both were within a few degrees accuracy. We elicited suggestions from fellow grill-o-philes. None could compensate for the thermometer's deficiencies. It takes too long to get a reading, it leaves too big of a hole, and it doesn't give consistent readings. Finally, a foodie friend suggested a thermo-resistor type thermometer. We looked and were put off by the price initially, but then wondered if the costs in losses from all of the "grilled food gone bad" could have been saved with an accurate, really fast, and consistent thermometer. We bought it and have been happy ever since. It gives an accurate and consistent measurement within 3 seconds. It leaves a much smaller hole. It has enabled us to cook to order much more precisely than we would have hoped possible. In fact, we've divided the doneness spectrum to include gradations from "Rare" to "Medium" with points of "Cool Medium Rare," "Medium Rare," and "Hot Medium Rare" along the way. Guests are amused at the greater degree of precision we can offer. And yes we can stop at finer points between "Medium Well" and "Well" as well--but why? At $80 (when we purchased it), it is something of a bragging gadget, but we would not attempt to grill without it. We enjoy hearing family and friends chatter, "They have this Thermapen..." The Original Super-Fast Thermapen Instant Read Thermometer (Red) by Thermoworks Oh, and the Taylor thermometer? Its case cracked one day and so it went out with the trash. We cannot think of a reason to replace it. Anything it could do the Thermapen can do better. More Reviews Reduce the risk of cross-contamination with Taylor's instant reading thermometers with antibacterial Safe-T-Guard(TM) case. Unique case design inhibits bacterial growth and doubles as a calibration wrench. Dial models feature a 5'' stem and a 0 degrees to 220 degrees Ferinheight range. Digital model has a 5'' stem and a -40 degrees to 450 degrees Ferinheight range. 
Choosing Appliance -> Convection Ovens Convection ovens allow you to bake more foods (cookies, muffins, etc.) at once with even browning, but without the need to shift and rotate pans. A convection oven is the same as a conventional oven except a fan is installed in the back interior of the oven. The fan is used to blow and force the heat to circulate in the oven and around the food, thus eliminating the need to rotate and shift pans. In reality, though, even with the most expensive convection ovens, you will still need to rotate your foods, because there will always exist still hot spots in the cavity, because the cavity is small. Don't compare home convection ovens with most commercial convection ovens used by bakers and small food manufacturers, because their commercial ovens are much larger than home ovens and commercial ovens don't have any hot spots and therefore, there's no need to shift and rotate pans. Choosing Appliance -> Built-in Ovens Keen cooks may want to take advantage of multi-function ovens - usually aimed at the top end of the market. As well as traditional cooking, fan or fan-assisted cooking and grilling, these ovens offer up to nine further functions. These include: Top element only (browning), bottom element (final cooking of pastry dishes or pizzas), fan and bottom element (delicate cooking), fan only (thawing).

Useful info -> Sinks The choice of sink materials is huge. Stainless steel is self-healing, hygienic and co-ordinates with the latest trend in appliances. Fireclay or ceramic sinks are solid and traditional with the latter being available in a core range of colours such as blue and green as well as white. |
