Heston Precision Instant Read Digital Meat Thermometer, 0.1C, 45C To 200C | Silicone Grip, Stainless Steel Probe Case With Pocket Clip, Magnetic Info Card, For BBQ, Jam, Confectionery, Oven Use

Really pleased with this thermometer. Set up easy; remove plastic battery protection - immediately up and running. Tested it on chicken, which had been cooked at very low temperature, and it was very quick to provide temperature reading, easy to see. I would have loved one of the all singing, all dancing probes, (far too expensive for my budget!) but for the price this is an absolute game changer.

This meat thermometer is fantastic and has really enabled me to elevate my cooking and take some of the guesswork (and inevitable over cooking) out of it all. My foods much better as a result. It’s super easy to use once set up just pressing a button. Turn off is easy too and you can just click it off unlike a lot of similar products. Cleaning is super easy and I use boiling water before wiping it. There’s a handy covering to put the probe proper in and this has a clip so you can attach it to your apron so it’s always at hand. This also comes with a little magnet detailing hestons recommendations for various items being cooked. These are displayed in an easy to read table and it’s a nice size to fit on your fridge or somewhere in the kitchen, maybe even the oven if it’s metal. Helpfully, for the more cautious out there, there is a column alongside his recommendations with the government guidelines for safe temperatures. My only complaint is how difficult it is to open and insert the battery. The screw used is so small that even my smallest of screwdrivers struggled to open it. This was such a faff and nearly defeated me before even using the product. The products great but this is something to bear in mind if you don’t have a super mini screwdriver. All in all fantastic. Five stars and I use this most days. Your tastebuds will thank you. If you found this review useful please let me know by clicking the helpful button below :)

Good gadget

The thermometer comes nicely packaged, with the device, a storage sleave and a neat guide to temperatures for common meats. Battery is provided, and after a quick look at the instructions it's ready to go. In use it's quick to respond, settling down within a few seconds to indicate the temperature. If not manually turned off, it shuts down itself after a little time to preserve battery. From a quick test with boiling water, it seems to be accurate, and I am now using this a lot to prevent the "let's leave it for another few minutes to be sure" situation, especially when it comes to chicken. I can't say if it's any better than other cheaper devices, but I'm glad I spent the extra to get a named brand device. Only negative is it feels a little lower quality plastic than you might expect, but it's not caused any issues so far

Excellent temperature gauge and easy to read.

Good value product instant reading so far pleased with purchase

Does the job well

Bought this for use with my new air fryer. For the price I am very disappointed. The thermometer display sticks out of the top of the “case” and wobbles about because it does not click into place, which is indicative of poor design - the plastic display will soon get damaged in a drawer. The bottom end of the cover is open too, so the probe is not protected from dust and bits getting inside when stored. The clip is flimsy, sharp and cheap looking. Very surprised Heston lends his name to such a poorly designed piece of kit. A slip in sheath or plastic “tooth brush” case which protects the display as well as the probe would have been more practical. Have used thermometer once so far. It was responsive and measured temperature quickly - hopefully accurately…..but it needs to look the part too and offer better storage to protect the product. I would not put my name on this product and customers who trust Heston for quality may be disappointed as am I.
