Shoes required for safe use
I accidentally knocked it off the counter and it landed on my bare foot. The tiltable large display was easy to read from the 5′ distance down to my foot. Temperature readings came in fast and seemed accurate, but the reading may have been off due to proximity to the bone. The exit wound on the bottom of my foot speaks to how incredibly sharp this is; it is the sharpest meat thermometer I have ever seen and rivals the darts in my dart board. It is also the thinnest meat thermometer I have used which is appreciated since it left a very small and clean entry point on my foot; the tip diameter is comparable to throwing darts.I am both impressed and scared of this thermometer now.

Worked out great.

Digital Disaster!
I have a meat thermometer from decades ago (an “inheritance” from my mom) and need something digital/instant read, made in the 21st century. I was mainly looking for something I could use for assessing water temperatures after heating it for my Water Pik. I don’t know what sort of quality testing — or lack thereof — this thermometer went through, but it’s dysfunctional. No matter what I do with it, it reads 145 degrees. The numbers are clear and large, for whatever that’s worth. Customer support at OXO said it sounded broken, but because I got it from Amazon, OXO can’t replace it or refund the cost. I debated whether I should get it swapped out, but decided against that in case it comes from a batch of lemons. So, I’ll be tramping off to Whole Foods to return it for a refund. It’s a rather long walk to get there and I miss Amazon’s days of letting us have UPS pick up our returns — free. Guess with the explosion of online ordering since the pandemic, paying for UPS to pick up returns doesn’t fit with the profit margins. Fortunately, I do need an order from Whole Foods. So, I’ll be killing two birds with one stone by going shopping and returning the OXO thermometer. Will need to go searching for a functional digital thermometer. Cross your fingers!

Easy to use and accurate

Great product. The sleeve provides target temperatures in Celcius and Fahrenheit for beef/lamb, ground beef, poultry, pork for all levels of “doneness”: medium rare, medium and well-done. Temperatures are accurate. Simple to use Purchased on sale, would buy again.
