Instant Read Thermometer

I bought this a month ago in salt lake to go with my new WoodRidge Elite Traeger after my 575 finally reached its breaking point. I loved the thermometer itself and its accuracy/portability when I’m cooking multiple things and have the wireless Traeger probe and wired probes all in use. Unfortunately after a little less than a month of owning it - during my brisket smoke I went to use it and it’s now just displaying 333F when it turns on. I put it in meat to see if it would change and maybe it was a bug but it didn’t work. I took out the battery’s and still nothing - just permanent 333F no matter what…..kinda frustrating giving the cost….

So far I like it. Much easier to use than my old thermometer. The backlit display is plenty bright during the day but a little much at night. Love the auto-rotating display — no more reading it upside down when I switch sides of the grill. Pulls up when you take out the probe, shuts off when you put it away, and powers down on its own after 10 minutes. Best feature in my opinion? Regular batteries. Two AAAs instead of the button cell my old one used. Small thing, big difference. The doneness scale is a nice touch too. I never remember the temps off the top of my head so having the reference right there is handy.

I already had a grilling meat thermometer but it wasn't that well made (cheap) and it took several seconds for it to read the meat temperature. I know Traeger's reputation so I got this instant read thermometer that is more accurate and reads meat temps within 2-3 seconds. The unit turns on automatically when the probe is extended and has a Fahrenheit or Celsius readings. I like the chart on the unit that shows proper temperatures for beef, pork, chicken, or fish. I use the look on the end to hand on the side of the grill. This is a very nick meat thermometer.

I tested this thermometer against others that I know give accurate readings and this one was spot on. The temperature display rotates so that you can always read it no matter how you hold it. I found that the thermometer was fairly heat resistant since it will be used near hot BBQs. It also gave a fairly fast read out. It wasn't the fastest read out that I've seen, but it was very good. Overall, I think this will last a decently long time as it seems to be good quality.

This thermometer is a must have if you griddle, grill or smoke a lot of food. I like the rotating readout so you can read the temperature easily no matter how it is positioned. I also like the handy chart that is on the screen so I know when the food is safely cooked. I love that the probe is so easy to clean with the body being water resistant. It easily hangs on the Traeger hooks or any hook for that matter. The magnet in the description on here is non-existent. It’s easy to use as it comes with 2 AAA batteries. Basically, install the batteries and it is ready to use. It is under the battery cover where you change it from Celsius to Fahrenheit or the opposite.

Nice and accurate digital cooking thermometer. It works! And it provides an accurate temperature very quickly. You can easily set the temperature to either Celsius or Fahrenheit through a switch in the battery compartment ("set it and forget it"). The readout is very large, clear, and easy to read. It also includes a convenient "cheat sheet" on temperatures of various types of meat. Another nice design feature, though I don't currently use it, is a loop at the end so that the thermometer can be stored by hanging it on a hook. It easily turns on/off by respectively rotating the metal pointer out/in so it naturally stays on while in use, and automatically turns off when stowing it away. Very useful especially when baking/roasting food!

Had the perfect excuse to test out the Traeger instant read meat thermometer for my son’s Birthday. We smoked a 17lb brisket for about 18 hours and the thermometer worked amazingly throughout the process. It is very accurate compared to the wired Traeger smoker sensor and was very fast. It registers the temperature in about 2-3 seconds from when it’s inserted. A nice feature is that the digital display will automatically flip depending on the thermometer’s orientation. Great accessory for smoking meats. Side note: do not leave thermometer in meats while smoking them.

This is a quality thermometer from a name brand company. Traeger makes grills and this is a good grilling thermometer but good for the kitchen, too. It uses two AAA batteries, not button batteries. The display has the interesting characteristic of rotating based on position. Big display, easy to read and has safe meat reference temps built in for various meats

So I just got to barbecue using the Traeger Instant Read Thermometer for the first time. I love this little BBQ gadget! It almost instantly gives you precise, accurate temperature readings that actually help you cook better and safer with the food temperature chart. Traeger provides a User Guide in 8 languages, but this is so easy to use. Open it and it’s On, close it and it’s Off (w/10 minute auto-shutoff). Auto-rotating LCD display is bright and easy to read. Water resistant for easy cleaning, though mine was not magnetic? Tip: have some thin heat resistant gloves and a grill fork to ease pulling out the probe. Highly recommended this for BBQ season!

This instant read thermometer is very accurate and takes 2 to 3 seconds to get a precise readout. It's powered by two AAA batteries (included) and has a large, easy to read autorotate LCD display. The magnetic, water resistant body makes for easy storage and cleaning. The built-in food temperature chart is handy to ensure you cook your food to the proper temperature. The unit will turn off and on by extending or closing the probe but no auto off feature. My only complaint is that when the probe is extended the unit is only about 9 3/4 inches long which makes taking temps inside your grill challenging and hot.
