Pro Digital Infrared Kitchen Thermometer, Non Contact Hygienic Laser Rapid Result Temperature Gauge for Food Liquid and Surfaces, Instant Read Cooking Gadget, Plastic/Black

Non proprio precisa, sbaglia delle volte di 1 o 2 gradi. Una volta tarato è perfetto

This thermometer is very convenient to use and, being contactless, shouldn't require cleaning. I cannot judge the accuracy but the values it gives seem realistic. I had to use metal-cutting shears to release it from the packaging. Delivery was appalling: I received an email to say it was delivered and handed to the resident. It was neither delivered nor handed to the resident. The following day it was "delivered" - nowhere near my house, just left in the rain close to my road!

A bannir pour la cuisine. Je déconseille. J’ai l’eau qui boue et il m’anonce 74 degrés

Its ok but not for sugar work i find

This type of thermometer is super-handy for measuring temperature instantly and with no fuss. Just point it at the target, squeeze the trigger, and read the display. Hold is automatic, so the number remains on the display. The temperature is measured by an infrared beam. Use of the laser is optional, and when enabled, shines a visible dot on the surface you are pointing it, the idea being to show exactly where you are measuring. This unit has a distance to spot ratio of 6:1 which means that if you are 12cm away from the target, for example, it will measure the spot with a radius of 2cm where you are pointing. The primary purpose of this thermometer is for cooking. How hot is your pizza oven? How hot is the fat in your fryer? This will tell you immediately and safely, without any mess, since it is non-contact. The downside is that it only measures external temperature, so you will still need a meat thermometer if you want to know what is happening inside your joint. It could be handy elsewhere too, for example in plumbing or electronics. Is the Taylor a good one to get though? It depends how much you pay of course, but there are a few things to consider. The distance to spot ratio is not that good; it is easy to find units with 10:1 or 12:1, some of which are cheaper at current prices. The max temperature on this one is 400° C or 752° F; fine for me but again, it is easy to find others which measure higher temperatures. What you care most about is accuracy of course; I’m not able to verify this but the claim is about +/- 1°C or +/- 1.5% at temperatures above 65° C. I greatly disliked the blister packaging which is hard to open and once cut, with sharp edges that can cut you. I also dislike the lack of instructions and the fact that batteries (2 x AAA) are not included. Battery life appears to be about 16 hrs. I am basing these figures on specifications for the Taylor 9523 which looks identical, though the actual unit reviewed is sold by Kitchencraft as the Taylor Pro Digital Non-Contact Thermometer. On the plus side, there is a 5 year warranty which is decent.
