Taylor 5256860 Details

Easily ensure food safety with this Taylor 5256860 red waterproof digital folding thermocouple thermometer. Featuring an ergonomic design that's easy to handle, this unit is ideal for use in restaurants, bakeries, cafes, and delis. The thermometer includes a 1.5 mm diameter step down probe that folds when not in use. Its folding capability not only makes the unit easy to store, but it helps protect the probe from damage, providing long-lasting convenience to benefit your operation. This thermometer is IP67 waterproof rated, and features an antimicrobial housing for increased sanitation. It also comes with a black case for safe storage.

This thermometer reads temperatures between -40 and 572 degrees Fahrenheit or -40 to 300 degrees Celsius, which it displays on its easy-to-read digital screen with a large 180 degree rotating LCD display and a blue backlight. To best suit the operator, a button on the back of the unit toggles between degrees Fahrenheit and degrees Celsius, which is great for businesses that employ a diverse staff. This thermometer is recalibratable, which helps you make sure it reads temperature accurately. Since it's battery-operated, the unit includes an auto-off feature to help preserve battery life. To allow for immediate use upon delivery, the thermometer comes ready with the appropriate battery inside.

Attention CA Residents:

Customer questions about this product

Can I calibrate this thermometer in ice water?

Thermometers intended for measuring food and liquid with higher temperatures, such as this thermometer, should be calibrated in boiling water while those used for taking lower temperatures should be calibrated in ice water. To calibrate your thermometer in boiling water, bring clean water to a boil and place the thermometer probe into the boiling water for at least one minute. The thermometer should read between 210 and 214 degrees Fahrenheit. Record the difference and adjust your thermometer as needed.

How do I safely and thoroughly clean my Taylor thermometer?

Your Taylor thermometer is constructed of a durable stainless steel probe, and in some cases, a plastic head. When cleaning your thermometer, do not immerse it in water or use it in the dishwasher unless the description specifically states that it is waterproof and dishwasher safe. Simply clean the stainless steel stem with hot, soapy water and wipe the head with a damp cloth.

    Worked well for a while other than running through batteries faster than my other thermometers. Then it just started flickering off and on intermittently. Only can get it to work if I shake it around a little bit. Seemed sturdy, but I think the wiring on the inside is cheap and faulty. Lasted only 4 months until it stopped working altogether.

    I don't have the issue with putting the probe in the right position, but this drains batteries like crazy. I have gone through 5+ batteries in as many weeks of usage. And the battery is sometimes difficult to position properly to get it to turn on. Don't waste your money.

    Poor quality. Not reliable. Probe must be moved to random spot to work and then doesn't always work. Most of the time, the thermometer simply runs through all the numbers and reads HHH. Waste of money.

    Thank you for your review, Wallace! We are sorry this Taylor 9868FDA 4 3/8 inch Yellow Waterproof Digital Folding Thermocouple Thermometer with Rotating Display and Backlight has not worked well for you. A Customer Solutions Representative will contact you soon!

    Doesn't work unless probe is in a very specific spot. Says it's suppose to work once opened, but it only works at one spot. Very difficult to keep on once you find the magic spot. Back looks melted as if someone already used it and broke it.

    We appreciate your review, Rachel. We wish this Taylor 9868FDA 4 1/2 inch Waterproof Folding Digital Probe Thermometer - 1.5mm Diameter Probe would have worked out for you. Our Customer Solutions team will remain in contact with you about this.
