The Moller TP300 Digital Cooking Thermometer with Probe -50°C / +300°C [Price: 2.5 Euro] has some pros and cons.
Positives:
1) It has accurate measurements (I think...).
2) The probe is sharp if you want to stick it somewhere.
Negatives:
1) - It claims to measure up to 300 degrees. It may be able to measure them, but it cannot withstand them as a construction. After using it once while frying in a cast iron pan, the screen broke and showed 888.8. After a few times of banging it, it started showing normally again. Until I washed it once under the faucet (I was only aiming at the probe) and it completely broke, so I threw it away.
2) By the time it reaches the temperature of the meat, you have already lost the medium rare.
3) Completely plastic.
4) The probe is a bit small.
5) You need a flashlight to find the correct viewing angle to see the screen if there is even a little bit of smoke.
Would I recommend it?
- If you want it to monitor the temperature of your baby's milk, it's good. Other than that, it's trash.
