I love this thermometer it is compact while still having a great size display. It works quickly which is another bonus in my busy kitchen. I also love that the probe cover has the appropriate meat temperature. There are way too many these days for me to remember so a quick scan at the cover gives me the correct temperature while I am cooking. The probe also has a great tip so it easily slides into my meat without leaving a huge hole to let out all of the juices I worked so hard to contain.
