Question: how long is the metal stem portion of this thermometer?
Document: Very clear and easy to read digital cooking thermometer! Nice long stainless steel stem -- fast accurate easy to see digital read out and a pen type sheath to protect and carry it in. Excellent all around addition to your in or outdoor cooking! Would make a nice add on to any cooking themed gift too!
I put the thermometer sideways as I was checking the temperature, looked away a moment, and found that where it touched the pan handle, it melted, and the device became useless. Look for an all-metal one, because unless you hold it carefully the whole time, it will eventually melt.
This is a handy little thermometer. With summer in full swing, I've been grill a lot lately for my family. I've been using the metal analog thermometer that came in with my bbq. It wasn't accurate and a hassle to remove and put back into my bbq.My wife went shopping on Amazon and bought me this one! Wow, what a difference. I didn't know what i was missing. It's easy and fast to use. Comes with a cool free bonus book which I'm definitely going to reference. and the auto turn off feature is nice.
The steel probe is long and easy to clean, The sheath to hold the thermometer hangs easily and safely from any pocked to convenient place you want to keep it handy while cooking. A very professional instrument; at least I've never seen better.
Operating buttons on the thermometer face are far too small and close together. Impossible for adult human fingers, especially male fingers, to operate. The temperature display is accordingly also small: 2cm long and &#60;1 cm wide. Generally, a crude instrument.
This is a really quality thermometer. I had an old one that held up for years but it finally broke on me. I needed a new one but so many of the products out there are just not good quality. I am really glad I picked this one. I can tell it is made well and will last a long time. Will recommend to my friends.
It takes forever to get a temp reading, and since you have to hold it with your hand near the cooking meat, my hands couldn't take the heat that long. I don't know if it would ever get to a true heat.I did some thick burgers, they were charred on the outside, very well done, yet this thermometer went only up to 125 degrees. Awful.
This cooking thermometer is easy to use. It has an easy to read LCD screen and remembers your last temperature reading. Be sure to put the probe in the end with the clip so it is secure and can then be clipped to your shirt so you can keep up with it when grilling or cooking. Easy to clean by holding probe under boiling water after using it. It should not be submerged to avoid getting the battery wet. The probe is about 5 inches long, so even large cuts of meat can be checked.
No more cutting your steak open with a knife, only to find you waited too long!When you're done with it, you just slide the probe back into the plastic case (which, thoughtfully, has a pocket clip built in), and put it with your bar-B-Q tools. If you forget to turn it off, don't worry, it will turn itself off after a while to save the battery.The thermometer is well made, high quality and easy to clean as well. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to cook the perfect meal, and look good doing it!
I like cooking on the bbq ... and I even more like EATING food that has been cooked on the bbq. The challenge always seems to be how long to keep the food on the bbq. This thermometer takes the &#34;guesswork&#34; out of the equation, and will definitely make you a better BBQ'er.This thermometer is &#34;big enough,&#34; but &#34;small enough,&#34; as far as I'm concerned. It is 6 inches long when outside of the case, and about 7 1/2 inches long when it's in the case.
Answer: Greetings to you: The metal stem portion of the thermometer measures 4 3/4 inch.
