Product review (5 stars): Best of the fold a blades..or rods.
This instant read thermometer is great. Though it takes a few seconds for a read out I really like the ease of turning it off, just close the sensing rod back into the storage position and it turns off. I checked the accuracy with boiling water and it was low by 2 or 3 degrees. Close enough for regular duties in my kitchen and BBQ.
I now use this one most of the time. There are occasions I go for the old long rod style but almost always forget to turn it off! The Mister Chefer is really a keeper! Try it and I bet you like it! I paid full price for this item.
