Slow and SteadyOct 01, 2010
By SMez
I purchased the Maverick Digital Chef's Thermometer based upon a Cook's Illustrated review. The thermometer works as advertised but takes much longer than five seconds to reach a final temperature reading (it gets close in five seconds but keep making incremental changes for some time).
In subsequent instant read meat thermometer reviews, Cook's Illustrated has downgraded this thermometer for taking "47 seconds" to reach a final reading. Their highest ratings are now given to the Thermoworks Super-fast waterproof pocket thermometer and the CDN ProAccurate Quick Read Thermometer.
I purchased the highest rated product, the Thermoworks SuperFast Thermopen (at a much higher price of $89) and have to say it is an amazing product. Quick, accurate, rock-solid readings in 1 - 2 seconds. Based on its performance, I plan to purchase several of their lower-priced Super-fast waterproof pocket thermometers to give as gifts.

 Not Quite the Best, but close enough!Dec 21, 2009
By erry
I am an avid reader of Cooks Illustrated. This Maverick is not the highest rated meat thermometer, bit it is second. The highest rated, Thermopen, cost over $90; this one costs less than $15. It seems accurate and takes about 5 seconds to get a reading. The on/off switch is not easy to do and it does not seem to have an "auto-off." I barbeque outside a lot both in winter and summer. Last night I barbequed a turkey. I wish the temperature was lit because I had to have a flash light to use the thermometer on the side away from the deck lights. In the kitchen it is perfect. I use it not only for meat but for making sure food is warm enough when being re-heated, making sure baked squash and other cooked vegetables are done, It works fine and is the right price.

 Very SlowOct 20, 2011
By 165
This small probe thermometer is also known as an instant read thermometer. It is one of the slowest I've ever used. It comes close to the temperature of what is being measured, then slowly rises nearly 20 degrees, finally stabilizing after nearly a minute.
It is accurate (aside from no calibration feature), but extremely slow. For another 10-12 dollars there are other digital probes that give a reading in about 6-10 seconds--much more practical. Another downside to this is its inability to be calibrated. Spend a little more for speed and accuracy, or stick with the original dial type.

Cheaply madeMay 26, 2011
By T. Evans
First time i used this thermometer, I had thought it had arrived broken, as I could not get it to either stay on, or register in Fahrenheit. Took a good bit of tweaking to get it to remain on and in the proper setting. It only lasted 5 uses before it died on me, but when it did work, it was accurate.
