Wireless Meat Thermometer

I got this Wireless Meat Thermometer to review.

I do a lot of cooking, and much of what I cook is meat. Even though I don't like meat my family does, so I cook a lot of meat and it's very important to me that it is cooked properly to be safe for my family. I was using an older analog candy thermometer but I wanted to upgrade to a newer digital model. So anyway, I got the new thermometer and the first thing that struck me was how pathetic the instruction manual is. There's really not any information available in it. But luckily the thermometer is easy to figure out without instructions. There is an on-off switch on the bottom of the base unit as well as another on-off switch on the back of the other piece, which also has a Celsius-Fahrenheit switch, though I don't know why as you switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit by holding down the "min" button on the screen. It includes two probes with metal cords that attach to the base unit. The probes and attached cords are heat resistant and can be placed inside a barbecue to provide a constant temperature reading. It wouldn't work when cooking meat in an oven because you would have to leave the door open. The units are plastic and as such, they are not heat resistant and must be kept away from heat sources to avoid damage. It has two modes, meat temp and timer. It has a variety of commonly eaten meats and some less common meats like lamb and veal. It works pretty well so far, and I think it will last for quite a while because it seems to be well made. It does require batteries in both the base unit and top because it is wireless. I would recommend this to anyone who needs a meat thermometer.
