 A device with 101 uses!Sep 24, 2009
By BodyART
Well, it might not have 101 obvious uses, but given some time I bet I can come up with a few dozen tasks this little baby is perfect for. I bought it primarily for use in the kitchen, as I was lacking a method of checking the surface temperature of my frying surfaces on the stovetop. Stovetops are not precision controlled, and high on one may be medium on another, depending on if its an open flame, glass/ceramic enclosed electric element, or raised element. Now I can put my favorite pans on the stove on medium, and watch how long each one takes to get to certain key temperatures for optimal cooking. I use this primarily when shallow frying items, opposed to deep frying. The temperature is off a little between the top surface of the oil and the bottom, but overall its an accurate way to fry small items you'll need to flip once, like a pan of good ol' fried chicken wings, fries, or perogies.
Its also great if you have an electric griddle and want to regulate the temperature, or check the temperature compared to the built in thermostat. Shine the lazer in your oven aimed at the back wall where you'd normally install an oven thermometer, right upon opening the door so you don't let much heat out. This is also good for the grill to check how hot your coals are, and to even see how well your air conditioner is working. When I am cooking, I'll frequently shine the lazer on my outside and inside walls around me to see the average temperature in the room. of course, the outside walls are a degree or two cooler at night, and warmer during the day. :)
The price is *very* right for this item. other similar products cost $150+. I've only had this thermometer for a few weeks now, but I use it daily and it's worked well sofar. I'd reccomend it highly as a household gadget that might surprise you one day by letting you solve a problem you normally wouldn't have a tool for. :)

 Very cool gadgetApr 18, 2010
By coastalwriter
This has really made a difference in the kitchen, believe it or not. I've found that I've not let the saute pans heat up to the right temperature before throwing in the food. No more guessing. It's also handy around the house. It's accurate from many feet away. I've given this as a gift now to two people, and they've had similar fun and usefulness with it.

I love the Maverick Laser Thermometer!Sep 08, 2011
By JACK BUTLER

I've had my Maverick Laser Thermometer for at least a couple of years and only recently had to replace the two AA batteries that came with it. Use it all the time in the kitchen...check pan surfaces, double check oven temp vs the regular oven thermometer, found it quite useful for checking the temp of oil for frying (shallow as well as deep) and, unexpectedly, found it to be good for getting the temp of my ice cream concoction just right for putting it into the machine. Double checking the fridge and freezer temps. It is very fast and very accurate. I am here today to purchase one as a gift for my niece. The price at Amazon is a very good one, too.
