 Doesn't last, and doesn't work well while it doesJun 25, 2010
This product died on me just this morning, in another candy-making task, after only 18 months of active life.
Seemed like the greatest deal at the time of purchase because of its wide range of temperature monitoring for the price. Then, as a couple other reviews point out, you oopsy-drop it or accidentally stick it in the pot of boiling cream too far, and the illusion of being waterproof is completely debunked.
When this happened to me, I chose to pull it apart to clean the innards and see if it was salvageable. I was very proud of myself for having removed all the gunk and gotten it to working order again. Then, once I reassembled it, it came to my attention that the construction is so shoddy, even pulling it apart once to clean it strained the bad connection design too much. For months I was operating with plumbers tape wrapped around it, and even that didn't really fix the issue, I was still left trying my hardest to hold the battery door firm against the body of the unit, while also trying not to get steam burns (unsuccessful, fwiw).
To boot, the METAL pocket-clip will jump out and bite from the hot pan, it won't really hold the edge of a pan if you want it to unless you bend it, and then there is no bending it back. The hold button is the largest button, but least often used, ...do I really need to continue? I will: I'll tell you of its death. As I was making spun sugar this morning, the LCD screen stuttered on and off (again), then the screen slowly began to look roasted, then burned. And although it powers on, it just registers all of its initializing 8s, no useful info.
This is a sink hole for your hard-earned money. DO NOT BUY. And Taylor? Call me to discuss redesigning this staple kitchen tool I feel so passionately about! For the moment, I recommend Splash-Proof Super-Fast Thermapen (Red) Instant Read Thermometer, Perfect for Barbecue, Home and Professional Cooking instead.
 Broke pretty quicklyJun 14, 2010
Started glitching up after about 10 uses. It works sometimes, but sometimes randomly turns off or randomly resets the temperature readout. I've been careful not to submerse it in water, so not sure what happened.
Also, as others said, it is pretty slow to stabilize at a temperature reading - takes 20 to 30 seconds before it stabilizes at a readout within +/- 1 degree F of the actual temperature.

A great piece of equipment.
I've had one for years and use it constantly. I cook a lot and also brew beer at home, which requires frequent, accurate temperature readings. I've often mistakenly submerged this thermometer and it just keeps on ticking.

Pretty worthless itemMar 29, 2010
I bought this item based on a friend's recommendation. When I got mine, I was excited to use it. It was a little while, since I really got this for my smoker and live in the north. It turns on sometimes, but when you insert it in the meat, it turns off. Now my return priviledge has expired, so I am out of luck. I would not recommend or buy this unit again!
