CDNDTQ450X ProAccurate Quick-Read Thermometer (Pack Of 2)

I use this thermometer for baking, making yogurt, and checking meat temperatures. It is an instant read of temperatures that is easy to use.

As a Chef I demand only the best products to work with, and this is by far the best pocket thermometer I have ever used! I love that it doesn't take me 20 seconds standing over my roasts, steaks, burgers, etc. to get a fast, accurate reading, cause I honestly don't have time for that in a busy kitchen.At first glance:The thermometer is exactly as described by the manufacturer. The response time on this thermometer is honestly the best I've had the pleasure of using... in fact I'm pretty well convinced that it even matches the speed of those very large ones with the attached probe on a wire (now granted if you pay $300+ dollars you can get one that will give you the fastest most accurate read but for the money, best deal here)I especially love the finer pointed tip on this thermometer that goes quickly, and easily into any protein that I need, no matter how tough, or thin the product is I get a perfect reading fast, so I'm never tied up waiting 30 seconds to get an accurate read out of my regular dial thermometer which you have to make sure you keep calibrated correctly, or the cheaper digital thermometers that just take longer (and the fact they have a much larger tip that DOES NOT like to go into products easily)... for a few extra bucks, SERIOUSLY BUY THIS!The extra temperature range of this thermometer is also quite handy, if even for some reason i have to check the temperature of my deep fryer its still capable of handling, extra kudos for that.And yes, it is waterproof, I have tested it. (again, extra kudos for that too)Downsides (i think definitely outweigh the sheer advantages this product has over the competition)-The large read out is great, not entirely that necessary to be that large though, or so i thought, kinda gets knocked around a bit, but the shatter proof design of the product compensates.-The sheath that the thermometer comes in holds it great, and at that would never ever slide out, problem with that design is the clip on the plastic holder doesn't hold tight to any clothing that you clip it too.. i find it actually useless (in fact I'm using a sheath from a prior thermometer)-I have experienced a couple quirky problems but those totally corrected themselves with the proper re-seating of the battery, the waterproof design is a little tricky to get right.So the downsides were the only reason this received a four star review and not a five, but its honestly the best thermometer I have ever used, and I've used them all.I hope you find this review helpful in your search for a great product, I HIGHLY recommend this product to ANYONE, weather a professional in a busy kitchen to someone at home that enjoys cooking and hates the big ol' metal ones that Gramma used for her turkeys, and wants to take the guess work out of cooking. This is a great product and I am Greatly satisfied with my purchase.Thank You for reading.

This is our third one. Great thermometer

For some reason, I find myself often needing to measure the temperature of various liquids and solids? How fast does my diet Pepsi cool in the freezer? How hot is the water coming out of my faucet? Interesting data has been gleaned from using this product. For example, in a top loading washer, the thermal mass of the metal and clothes in a top loading washer drops about 20 degrees from the 140 that is dispensed -- leading to a 40 degree shortfall from a commercial washer. While useful for various fun tasks around the house, chefs will appreciate the vary rapid response of the pointed tip. The CDN is clearly superior to an inexpensive thermometer I previous purchased from Walmart.In a laboratory setting, accuracy is important. While my needs are not that stringent, I did want to test within the limited resources at my disposal, including my IR thermometer. So, I test it along with the IR thermometer with three different liquids: 1)water/green tea cooling from boiling temp 2) Polmos rectified spirits - 96% alcohol from freezer 3) Olive oil heated in an oven. In order to somewhat scientific, I avoided ambient air movement and took measurements in a corner of room separate from any radiating heat. This conditions would NOT pass NIST standards but I tried anyway. Results below.Conditions:1) CDN was used to aggressively mix fluid so no surface temperature differences2) Ambient light and air movement avoided3) Insulating potholder used to rest glasses4) Ambient temperature approximately 70-72 degreesAll results in FahrenheitConcentrated green tea in 1000ml pyrexDate: 12/11/2012Time ....

Great for ground meat patties to insure cooked in the middle (especially when serving kids) but not over cooked and dry!

llegó con un ligero daño estético, por suerte no afecta al funcionamiento. Excelente producto, muy práctico y funcional, el tamaño de la aguja es sumamente versátil, muy buena velocidad de lectura, sus funciones totalmente atinadas, los botones son ligeramente obtusos al presionar. Fuera de eso, práctico y listo para el uso desde la apertura del empaque.

This is a nice item for the money. It works more or less as advertised not quite as fast as it says but seems accurate and it does get there. I would not be without a meat thermometer to make sure things are well cooked.

I very rarely give reviews for personal reason, however in this case I felt compelled to.I paid £18 for this very bad boy back in 2012 for my beer brewing. I also recently purchased a themapen 3 as back up. Anyway as far as accuracy is concerned I calibrated it at freezing point to be 0.3' above and at boiling point 0.6', below compared to the thermapen 3 of 0.1' & 0.4' respectively. A recent test showed anything up to 2' differential in mid to upper ranges, between the two.What is undeniable is that my CDN, the tulip is very slightly wilting to one side, through years of abuse, its found its way into the bottom of the mash tun, and a number of fermenting vessels on numerous occasions, certainly dropped from any height that a kitchen can offer. In short this is a very robust little fighter of a thermometer that comes back for more and more. Really hoping I can say the same for the thermapen 3 six years down the line, and at this price its a no brainer .

Muy bien construido, la carcasa es de acero inoxidable.Lectura precisa, solo hay que calibrar (incluye respectivas instrucciones)Durable, elegante diseño y discreto. Recomendable!
