5 out of 5 stars Fast, accurate and affordable   December 2, 2008

I was in the market for a digital thermometer to replace my old cheap analog, and did some comparison browsing. It seems like there won't be a huge difference between models, so it mainly boils down to price and recommendations.

This "CDN Proaccurate Stainless Digital Thermometer" and the Thermapen were the names that came up the most often. Lots of people championed the cause of both models, but the CDN Proaccurate came with recommendations from both Cook's Illustrated and The America's Test Kitchen. It was also about a third of the price. So that is what I went with.

I have been pleased with my choice, and the CDN Proaccurate has performed exactly as promised. It is accurate, fast, easy to use and reliable. I have used it for temperatures ranging from frozen cocktails to getting yeast started for bread making to hot oil for deep-frying. Every time it has done the job without fail.

So you can spend a lot more and get a digital thermometer that doesn't perform any better, but does anyone really want to do that? Go with the CDN Proaccurate! You won't be disappointed.



4 out of 5 stars Really instant reading temperature   December 1, 2008

Great item for price, simple and good working, really quickly pick up a temperature, easy to operate. Not giving 5 stars just because of very inconvenient storage case, it absolutely could not be hanged, because of heavy head.


1 out of 5 stars worked fine two times only   November 27, 2008

I was really happy with this thermometer. I used it once to make yogurt and once to cook a roast. In neither case did it get dropped, immersed in water or left in the oven. In no way did I mishandle it. And yet, third time was not the charm. It just didn't work anymore. The display still worked but no numbers would appear, not after removing and replacing the battery, nor after trying to recalibrate.


5 out of 5 stars quick read   November 24, 2008

Good quality with a quick readout. I have been pleased with this product so far, and the quality seems good enough that is should last for at least a couple of years.

This thermometer reads fast and is accurate. I wish that I had bought it sooner because it takes the guesswork out of meat cooking.
