My wife bought me this for Christmas since I like to use my propane smoker and have grown tired of having to open the smoker door to check the internal temperature of my food so I don't overcook it. I used this twice so far and both times it worked great and the food was cooked to the perfect temperature. My only regret is not getting one sooner, would've saved me a lot of work.
bought a new smoker and this thermometer set up. this was the best money i have ever spent. from the very first attempt in the smoker the meat has been perfect and i can watch the temp from my sofa. would recommend to anyone
Simple and easy to use and read the numbers with one button on/off. Tilting head to read is a big and easy plus. Only average 3 to 4 second read time. If you are looking for a basic thermometer this is a good choice, I'm glad I did.
These have a really good range and appear to be pretty accurate, the first few times we used it we double checked it with another thermometer and it was right on, now we don't even bother. The only catch is that if you don't turn them both on at pretty much the same time, they might not sync correctly. You can re-sync them with a button on the back of the sender unit, or just power them both off and back on again.
I've used these for a year and a half now on my Weber Kettle, and they still work great. I use them for thick steaks and roasts while using the indirect method. And yes I leave them inserted with NO problems. However, I never use them while searing, that wouldn't make sense. Would buy these again. Just a thought, if they are only intended to check the temp, and not leave in, why would you ever need 4 of them ? ? ?
I have a Akorn smoker. With the Cuisinart thermometer, I have complete control over my smoker. I like to keep my smoker temp around 225- 250 degrees. With this there is no more guessing. I can adjust as much as my ocd little heart desires. No more overdone meat or raw chicken the meat probe lets you know where the temp is at all times. The remote works great. It is easy up to set up. I was up at 12:30 am to put on a full brisket, half asleep, when I accidentally stepped on the meat probe and broke the plug. I called Cusininart about buying a replacement. They sent me one for a small shipping fee. If you grill, smoke or bake this is a must item.
These thermometers are great. Put the steaks on the grill... turn them all when the first side is done and then wait a minute and place the thermometers into each piece so the tip is sitting in the center of the steaks. Then watch until the meat is cooked the way you want each piece to be. Great!
Grilling steaks has always driven me nuts. Everyone always wants them done differently and I struggled to get all the permutations correct, steak thickness, grill temperature variations, steak starting temperatures, etc. With these thermometers it is dead simply no matter the steak to nail the cooking level perfectly. They go in the steak right on the grill. Pick a time to flip and watch that gauge, when it says Medium, etc. it's correct.
Used it for the first time two nights ago. What I love about this over others I have owned is the distance you can get from the transmitting unit and still have the receiver read the temps. In the past, other units have said, "Oh, yeah, it will read," only to have the dashes of death appear on the receiver immediately after I close the door from the back deck. Who would have thought a Cuisinart would be such a winner in this category over the other "big name" meat probe thermometers I've tried. Really like this product, and for the price I paid, it's a complete winner! Get one for yourself and see the difference.
Amazon shipped this and I recently received it in two days even though it was the Christmas rush. When I got it and took it out of the box there were three LEDs on the transmitter unit that were not working. I could not read the temperature on the transmitter; however, I could read the temperature on the receiver. Instead of returning the whole thing to Amazon, I called Cuisinart and left a message on their voicemail system. They responded within minutes. They simply asked for my shipping address to send the replacement unit. Cuisinart has great customer service for their product. I like being able to monitor the temperature inside my smoker as well as the internal temperature of the food that I am cooking. These units were easy to set up and synchronize. The temperatures are accurate. My brisket cooked perfectly.
