Best thermometer I have found to this day. Taylor brand you cannot go wrong. This thing has been through everything, from dropping it on the floor to throwing it across the room (not on purpose) and checking temps this has been the best by far. I will only purchase Taylor brand for sure.

Ordered 4 of these Taylor thermometers because of my past experiences with Taylor. Thermometers arrived earlier than expected. Had a bit of an issue calibrating 1 of them but eventually got. Have been extremely satisfied with these. My experiences with Webstaurant Store has always been satisfying.

The Taylor 5" Waterproof Digital Pocket Probe Thermometer is highly accurate and durable. It is waterproof and easy to use. It is small enough to fit in your pocket. This is a must have for any commercial and residential kitchen.

Unfortunately, these did not hold up. I thought it was one defective thermometer but both of them are giving us grief after just over one month of use. The temperature reading is way off and changes daily. We attempted to calibrate them but it doesn't stick. Our cold stuff is always "L" and our hot stuff is measuring way higher than it's supposed to. I'm searching for a more reliable digital thermometer now.

Thank you for your feedback! We're sorry you did not prefer this product. For recommendations, please contact our Customer Solutions team.

This little digital has it all: Barely legible display, difficult to re-calibrate, short battery life, prone to moisture breach & oh yeah; try & replace the battery while you're on a mobile catering gig without the use of super colorful metaphors. Yep, no doubt about it, the 9842 is a technological marvel. I suggest that you store the ones that you have purchased in the same place that we did with the 3 that we own(ed)-the dumpster. Ending on a positive note though, the plastic color is cool.

To bad we can't give negative stars. DON"T BUY FROM WEBSTRAUNT Bought 6 of these thermometers. I opened one and it didn't work. read the instructions and it says to take out the battery and reinstall. It was difficult to get it back in. Still didn't work. Chatted online with April stating that the one I opened does not work and I want to return all 6. So I can return the unopened ones but I have to pay restocking and shipping. The defective one they will talk to the manufacturer about rather than just taking them all back and giving me my money back. Poor way to treat a customer.

Thank you for the review, Merv. We are sorry you were not happy with our return policy. We were happy to help you receive credit for the broken thermometer. Please note that these thermometers are covered by a 1 year warranty by Taylor. If you find the remaining 5 thermometers to be defective, we will be more than willing to address this.

A nice, compact thermometer that is easy to store. I've used it for checking the temperature of meats, breads, oil, and when cooking sugar. Works accurately, although it is a little slow if you need an immediate reading

small and handy. Check for accuracy before using for candy making. This reads a couple of degrees different than my larger ''candy thermomter'' but it is basically accurate. This is easier to store or carry, and less chance to damage with it's own shield. Good water proof option without spending a fortune.

Love these thermometers, overall great for the price, we've had one dropped in the fryer momentarily (a couple times) and it still workes fine. Have purchased a couple and not sure why one reads twice as fast as the other. Water resistant is nice to spray them off too

These Digital Thermometers are much more accurate and quicker response time that the dial ones. also the smaller tip make the holes that it creates less noticeable. wish they sell replacement probe sleeves

These are very convenient to use. The instructor in my sanitation class recommended digital thermometers which he felt were much more accurate, so we switched to digital and have been very pleased with these.
