Customer Reviews of Tru Temp Digital Cooking Thermometer with Alarm
Customer Rating: Rating: 5/5Rating: 5/5Rating: 5/5Rating: 5/5Rating: 5/5
Summary: Accurate, inexpensive, wide temperature range
Comment: Good product. Accurate, easy to use, inexpensive and wide temperature range. Many digital thermometer have a minimum temperature of 32F, so you cannot use them to check your freezer. This product has a range of -40F to 450F so it will do both oven and freezer. Tested in an ice water bath, it was only off about 1F, better then others I have measured. Comes with a neat magnetized plastic stand that holds it up at readable angle. Has a C/F switch on back.

Only minor negative is that while the upper range is advertized to be 450F, the documentation gives a slightly lower maximum temperature for the silicone cord. I'm writing this after using the product for a couple of months and I've lost the documentation, but my memory says the max cord temperataure was listed as 425F.

Summary: Best of Digital Probe Thermometers
Comment: It seems that most people recommend Taylor digital probe thermometers for oven or smokers. I've used several of them and I'm not happy, primarily because the high end limit is 350 degrees.

This Tru Temp thermometer goes up to 450 degrees and works as well or better then the the Taylors in all other respects. It suffers from the same general problems as others in that the probes are fairly easily damaged. But for the money you simply can't beat it.

I use this thermometer for smoking meat. I like to put one probe in the open in the smoker to monitor smoker tempterature. The rest go into the meat. I've generally gotten about a year and a half out of the probes.

Another thing I like about the probes is they are straight. Most of the others, like Taylor, have a large curve in them and that curve gets in the way. The straight probe is preferable to me.

The read out is large and easy to read and the set points are easy to use. The alarm can be heard inside, which is perfect. The base has magnets built in so you can attach it to anything made or ferrous metal.

Be sure to store these indoors if you use them with you smoker or grill. Left outdoors the digits will begin to fail on the display. I learned this the hard way.

Choosing Appliance -> Taps
Dual-flow mixers provide independent hot, cold or mixed water after leaving the end of the spout. They can be deck-mounted on the sink or pillar/bridge-mounted for a more traditional look. Alternatively, choose a monobloc tap, which is a single-hole fitting that usually has two handles for hot and cold water supply.
Choosing Appliance -> Built-in Ovens
Ease of cleaning is well worth considering at the outset. Stay clean liners resist dirt build-up but pyrolitic cleaning is the ultimate. It burns off all baked-on debris at 500°C so that all you have to do is sweep out the resulting ash. Look out for ovens with a steam cleaning facility, too, and remember that some ovens have removable inner doors that are easy to clean.

Tips How to Maintain Appliance -> Cleaning & Maintenance Oven
Never use a scouring pad of any sort to remove stubborn stains or soiled areas, since these pads scratch the finish and any future soiled areas won't clean up as well, especially with the self-cleaning models. When the oven is cool to the touch, place a cloth or sponge, dampened with warm to hot tap water, onto the soiled area and allow it to sit, for about ten minutes or so, to help loosen the soil.
