Precision by Salter 540A HBBKCR Premium 5-in-1 Digital Thermometer - Air Fryer Probe, BBQ, Roasting, Deep Frying, Grilling, Dual Sensors Food/Oven Temp,Programmed, 0.1°C Accuracy

Fantastic bit of kit, especially if you cook a lot of meat. Being able to read the inner temperature of meat, whilst it is cooking, takes all the guess work out of it. You learn how much the temperature continues to rise once the meat has been taken out of the oven; often by 10 degrees, and adjust accordingly. You can roast of joint of beef knowing how pink or well done it will be and you will have no concerns about undercooking poultry, assuming you have placed the probe in the right place. It is very quick to give you an accurate reading, some thermometers take a few seconds to do this. It is very intuitive to use and good value for money.

Initially bought with the Christmas Turkey in mind, but now wouldn't be without it. Works well and has been useful with all meats we've cooked since then. Big or small, this seems to work with them all, and has given consistent results on everything. Temperature readout of the oven as well as the meat is particularly useful (to cross check with the oven settings) but the time to cook is sometimes a bit optimistic, and you need to move the probe around. However, 4 stars because it is quite fiddly to go through all the different setting to get to the one you want - US or Heston Blumenthal's own. It would be useful to be able to set it to always come on as one or the other. Overall an excellent addition to the cook's arsenal - we haven't had a mis-cooked piece of meat since we got it.

This was a great Christmas present purchase for my dad, he loves it and it came in handy on Christmas day, it was delivered in great timing and in good condition

Actually was quite disappointed with this item, eventually stopped working.

Excellent thermometer and probe, the estimate for cooking completion is also a noce touch. Best cooking thermometer I have used.

Amazon had these cooking thermometers at a very good promotional discount so I took the plunge and bought two for Christmas presents. I was very disappointed. Both thermometers had intermittent contacts between the miniature audio jack, that connects the temperature sensor to the display, and the socket. The plug had to be wiggled in the socket to get a reading and then it was jumping between 20 degrees (presumably room temperature) and 10 degrees. Leaving the plug alone the display juddered to three minus signs "- - -" - not even a temperature. I swapped the probes between the two displays and both exhibited the same fault, so it was not simply a rogue unit, but a faulty batch. The feel of the product was flimsy and I noted that this proud to be "British" device has USDA (United Stated Department of Agriculture) recommended cooking temperatures in addition to those suggested be Heston Blumenthal himself. The display on the device is primitive. We are used to dot matrix displays and better in the 21st century. This harks back to the '70s when manufacturers were forced to create whole alphabets using 7-segment displays. There are more than seven on this, but not many, resulting in words being hard to read undulating, uneven lines of characters.

Very disappointed to Find the actual screen was not Illuminated. Would have thought for the cost that would have been the case.

It works well. Easy to use and easy to extract the probe from the cooked meat (earlier HB probes would come apart as you pulled on them, leaving you with a useless thermocouple and a small aluminium tube). Use temperature targets from online sources rather than the enclosed leaflet, some of them will overcook your meat.
