Works great once you learn how to calibrate it
When I first got it and tried to calibrate it in ice water It would blink CALL and then immediately blink ERR. I tried several times but I couldn't get it to calibrate. I contacted the company and they told me the secret to calibrating it. So now it works great. I'll include the email instructions that I got from the company which worked perfectly the first time I tried it. So here are the "complete" instruction on how to calibrate this thermometer:The meat thermometer displays "ERR" if the ice water isn't the standard 0℃.You can pour water into a cup, then put the cup into the freezer, you can take it out to calibrate after half an hour. At this time This cup of water should be the standard 0℃.I sincerely suggest you can recalibrate it again.Please following the steps:1.Open the probe and it will display the Fahrenheit temperature, then change it to Celsius temperature by pressing "ºC/ºF" button.2.Please be sure to calibrate in the mixture of 50%ice and 50%water.(This mixture should be the standard 0℃) Insert the probe into mixture, then display the digit(The digit should be between 0ºC-1ºC) press and hold the “CAL” key until the display will flash “CALL” on the screen.Releasing "CAL" button, after the display flash "CALL" several seconds it will flash the digit. In time using the “HOLD” key to decrease the digit or the "ºC/ºF" key to increase the digit until it shows 0℃. After several seconds the display will show again the reading.3.Notice:The accuracy of thermometer is ±1℃. During calibration it will display "ERR" if the mixture doesn't reach 0ºC.

Great kitchen tool
This thermometer is the best I've ever used. After going through a few other brands over the past few years, this one beats them all, hands down. I have only had this one for a few months so I can't comment on longevity but its functionality and ease of use is superior to previous thermometers. It is easy to use and easy to read and responds quickly. Five stars!

Wonderful thermometer
The media could not be loaded. Had it for years. Love it! Not just for meat.Replacement battery is a CR2032H. Haven't needed to replace it yet (using 3 or four times a month and it has an auto shutoff as seen in the attached video), so I'm pretty sure this is the last thermometer I'll ever need.

I’ve used this many times now
For the price, you can’t beat it with a stick. I’d only knock it down a star because I don’t believe it reads the temp as quickly as advertised, but I do believe it does give an accurate measurement.I’m a guy who grills 3-5 times a week, I can basically eyeball when a steak or burger is cooked to my liking. I’m making this review after I grilled up a couple fillet mignon steaks last night. I cook mine at a cool medium rare, while my guest wanted theirs at medium. I put this product to the test and pulled my and her steaks off at the proper temperature that the thermometer indicated. Both steaks when cut open we perfectly cooked. Mine a nice dark red, hers darker in the very middle, pink all the way up to the outside of the steak.Great purchase, and would recommend to all of you.UPDATE: Have dropped a star, as after a couple months the poking end came apart from the body of the unit. Will have to buy a replacement, and l won’t be repurchasing.

Great Instant Read Thermometer - Great For Right-Handed People !!
This review is kind of "tongue in cheek". The product is really excellent. The problem is that I was born left-handed and it makes using this thermometer a bit tricky. If you hold it in your left hand you can't see the temperature !!. I know - you are thinking - suck it up -88% of the population is right-handed and life is not always fair. I agree. It's an excellent product, works well, temperature reads out quickly (when I can see it ~!~!). We lefties have always learned to compensate and this is just another of those products for which it is necessary. I would buy it again, lefty or righty. !

I love this quick
I can't believe I have waited so long to order one! We cook, ALOT! I have the old school calibrated probe type thermometer that you have to poke it and wait, and wait, and wait to get to temp. My wait is now over! I love this quick, compact meat thermometer. I love that it folds up and I don;t have to have the probe part sticking out and poking me when I try to grab it from the drawer. Its very accurate. It has a back light so the screen is very easy to read. ITS FAST. I truly never knew that a thermometer could be so quick. I love that I don;t have to singe my arm hairs waiting in the over to get a good accurate reading. I will definitely be ordering an additional one for out by the grill!

Extremely inaccurate
Maybe I got a dud, who knows. All I do know is that when I was cooking my steaks, it kept registering the internal temp as 118. I was cooking fatter than normal steaks, reverse sear style. They were about 2.5" thick. The thickest I've ever cooked so I thought it would be a good chance to test this thing out and just verify my normal process would work on these thick cuts. Since it kept registering 118, I got paranoid that maybe I didn't bake it long enough so I left it on the pan longer than I normally would. After awhile, it only went up to 120 and I was skeptical. I brought out another thermometer and it registered 135.Yeah, that's a tragedy. All I can say is that this thermometer ended up being very inaccurate. This was the first time I used it as well. Extremely disappointed, I hope I can return this.
