Masterclass® Meat Thermometer

I Have had mine for years and it works brilliantly and is still as new. I find if you clean the probe with a soapy cloth it stays in great condition. I wonder from some reviews whether they may be putting the probe in the oven?

I bought one of these to go with my new Cobb (some time ago) as I was unsure about the 2 hour chicken recipes etc. This just helps me make sure anything I BBQ is cooked through. I didn't want an expensive one as I was sure I would not need to use it that often but to be fair it does still get taken out of the cupboard and used every once in a while and it still works like it did when new.

To be honest after a couple of weeks of use they stain on the front so badly with the heat you cannot read them. Not great!

I purchased 2 of these at Christmas and used mine for a 3-rib of beef. By the time my allocated cooking time had finished, the needle was still just below the bottom section of the 1st screen. I chose to ignore the thermometer and took the rib out. This was fortunate as it would have been overdone. My son used his on a leg of lamb which ended up well done rather than medium rare. Surely this must have been tested before reaching the market. Very disappointing.

I've used this three times now - the first time it worked ok, second the meat was over done (a very expensive cannon of beef and the very reason I bought the thermometer), and the third time the beef was, according to the thermometer, very overcooked but bled all over when cut. So unreliable it's completely useless, you're better off judging it yourself!
