Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Pinzon Wireless Probe Thermometer with Remote
Customer Review: Stylish and very functional.
Summary: 4 Stars
This item works wonderfully, especially for the price. It is accurate and has a very audible alarm.
I was slightly disapointed that it did not have a time on it as well, but if I would have read the discription better, I would have known that. Most of these do not have them. Again this is ok especially for the low price.
The only annoyance I can point out (hence the 4 stars not 5) is that the C/F button (to change from Celsius to Fahrenheit) is the same button on both units as the power button. This means that if you just press the power button, your just changing the C/F setting. So you have to hold down the button to turn them on or off. Not a big deal, just something you have to take a minute and get used to.
Customer Review: gift for mom
Summary: 4 Stars
My mom wanted a probe thermometer for her oven. Her only complaint is that that thermometer box that attaches to the probe should have a magnet on it to stick to the oven, or a stand. It has an opening in the back to slide it over a screw. The remote one has a magnet; she felt both should. Her only mistake in using it was that the cap on the point of the probe was really hard to get off so she thought it was part of the probe, and my dad ended up chewing on it! So, just keep yanking at the cap until it comes off or you'll end up getting a plastic surprise.Customer Review: pinzon wireless probe

Summary: 3 Stars
I got this item today. It requires 4 AA batteries. They are NOT included. I find that very frustrating. I can't even test it to see if it is accurate unless I go out and get the batteries. They should be included.
Perhaps I didn't understand, but it is not truly wireless. There are actually 2 units. You stick the probe in the meat and run the cord out the door of the oven, close the door on the cord and plug it into a unit. This unit then broadcasts to the "wireless" unit. I don't know how closing the door on the wire will effect the seal of the oven or the durability of the wire. I wish this were truly cordless.
Customer Review: aqlmost right
Summary: 3 Stars
The design is great, compact and easy to use, but the temperature reading is not quite right. Comparing it to a calibrated thermometer I have in my medical lab, it is about 10 degrees too low. Remember to use this offset and the meat will be fine. If not, it will be way undercooked. Best to use a quick read probe thermometer in addition with this before you pull it off the fire
