There is a lot to love about this thermometer. The pivoting head makes it easy to read so I am not leaving my oven door open as long allowing heat to escape. The digital read out takes the guess work out of checking for doneness. I am not always sure what the internal temperature of certain meats are, but the storage sleeve displays the temperature guidelines for most meats. Very nice thermometer by Oxo that will get a lot of use in my kitchen.
