What the listing publishes
“delivers measurement results in just 2-3 seconds. The measuring range is between -50°C and 300°C (-58°F to 572°F) with a resolution of 0.1°C/°F and an accuracy of ±1°C/°F.”
More than this page used to say. A read in 2 to 3 seconds, a range
of −58 to 572 °F, a resolution of 0.1 degree, and an accuracy of
±1 °C — on a food-grade stainless probe with a fine tip, a
protective cover, a hold button and hanging holes in the
handle. One AAA battery is included.
Read ±1 °C/°F as ±1.8 °F
“±1°C/°F” is two figures in one. One degree Celsius is 1.8 degrees
Fahrenheit, so the same probe cannot be within 1 °C and within 1 °F at
once. Take the looser reading: about ±1.8 °F.
Against the thermometers sold on Amazon.com in this hub:
ThermoMonster HT09, $16.99 — ±0.5 °F, stated NIST certified, the tightest here
TempPro TP-02S, $9.99 — ±0.9 °F, one second
ONFIKY, $9.97 and Lonicera, $12.99 — ±1 °F, one to two seconds
this — ±1 °C (about ±1.8 °F), two to three seconds
For a roast or a steak, ±1.8 °F does not change the result. For sugar
work or a sous-vide check, where a degree or two matters, the tighter
figures are worth the few dollars.
The probe length, as printed
“The ultra thin 14.5mm probe is made of high quality food grade stainless steel.”
14.5 millimeters would be under an inch, which is not a probe that
“provides a safe distance between fingers and measuring object”. The same
listing gives the thermometer 28 cm (about 11 in) overall, so the
figure is almost certainly 14.5 cm — about 5.7 inches of probe. We
report it as printed and flag it, rather than correct the maker.
Not sold on Amazon.com
This reference is listed on the German, French, Italian and Spanish
Amazon stores, and returns no page on Amazon.com. The button on this
page therefore runs a search.
In the United States, the thermometers in this hub sold on Amazon.com
cost about the same and publish tighter figures — the ONFIKY at $9.97,
the TempPro TP-02S at $9.99 and the ANDAXIN at $9.99 all sit within a few
cents of ten dollars. Start from the
cooking thermometers hub.
Why a cheap thermometer is still worth having
Because the alternative to a ten-dollar thermometer is usually no
thermometer. Every contact grill, mini oven and roast on this site is
improved more by measuring the inside of the food than by any other single
purchase.
On temperatures
This page describes an instrument. What temperature a given food should
reach is published by appliance and food manufacturers and by the
USDA’s safe minimum internal temperature chart — not here.
