Excellent device, great value for money. Daughter in Law loved it, " Great birthday present, always wanted one".

After our first ever disaster in 33 years with a Turkey at Christmas I decided to invest in a meat Thermometer. I googled them, this took me to Lakeland I scrolled through and decided after reading all of the reviews to buy this one. Wow is hasn't disappointed at all, a great purchase does the job and I should have bought it years ago.

Have had this for a couple of years and it's always been reliable but I used it on Christmas Day to check the turkey and the display started going haywire reading from 75c down to 65c in the space of a few seconds then back up to mid 70 again Tried it in a jug of boiling water and it did the same thing so went on line, after changing the batteries, to see if there was a way to recallibrate it but no luck with that. For something that advertises a 10 year gaurantee it's not very good and a tad frustrating and the instructions leave a lot to be desired

Bought this as a present for a family member as they had admired my husbands similar older version. They loved it and use it all the time for practically every meat they cook - and they love how easy it is to use.

As one reviewer has already commented, this works well only if pushed deep into meat. So will be fine for roasts, but can't be used for steaks (unless they are very thick). The previous model was responsive even for thinner cuts of meat/fish. The new model is also much slower to respond. On the plus side, it looks to be built of better quality materials.
