Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Pinzon Wireless Probe Thermometer with Remote
Customer Review: It works like it should.
Summary: 5 Stars
I've seen Alton Brown use these on his tv show (good eats), not this brand per say, but a probe thermometer. It works and the wireless function is nice, though not very necessary. The only thing taht i could see at fault is when ever you press a button on the main thermostat, it makes a shrill beeping noise. Other than that, very good deal at $10 or $15(which is what I paid, but then got $5 back since it was reduced the day after I got it.)Customer Review: Great item for the price
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great product for the price. Probe thermometers are great cooking tools and I like the easy-to-read display. It also switches between Fahrenheit and Celsius for those of you who enjoy such things.Customer Review: Works as advertised,

I purchased one to monitor the temperature of my wood furnace in the garage. Works great and is more accurate than one I purchased for more than twice the price.Customer Review: Reliable but seal probe.
Summary: 4 Stars
I have two of these temperature probes and for the price, it's hard to beat. My two complaints is the refresh rate is only every 14 seconds, so if you need to see a fast change in temperature, it's not fast. Secondly, the interface of the steel braided jacket and stainless probe needs to be sealed, otherwise water or oil will get inside the probe and damage the sensor inside. I've had good luck using silicone RTV......the kind used for caulk. Use the "Type 1" that is unpaintable but has a working temperature to 450 F. Work the silcone around the probe, trying to get some material inside the stainless probe, and at least an inch of coverage on the flexible wire/sheath. That should fix the problems some other users had with the thing failing, due to probe damage with water/oil. Otherwise, it's a nice feature to have remote capability. It does alert you of an overtemp, if you set it up to do so.Customer Review: Great but ignore the directions
Summary: 4 Stars
I used this product today and I am quite pleased with it. I feel that it is much more accurate then the typical get foggy stick-in meat thermometers I have used in the past. Instead of having to peek in the oven constantly to see if the temp is at the right setting, I can go do other things and the wireless alarm tells me when it is at the temp I desire. When I change to check another spot on the meat, the temp adjusts quickly if there is a difference. The lack of the fifth star is due to the directions that come with it. They are quite confusing, trial and error worked better, and say AAA batteries even though description and actual is AA. Wire is no biggie to me because it is so thin that I doubt it affects the oven seal. I really don't think I want something with batteries stuck in my food. :O
