I've had nothing but bad luck with these remote thermometers ... the probe cable always seems to get broken ...

Cool, look, it's all Mavericky and Battlefield Earth (2000).

it's about time.

This is actually tempting.

Would be nice to have some idea what temp my food is at while grilling.

Have one, love it. I use it for roasting meat in the oven . . . great on holidays when you are too busy to babysit it. Had it three years, still works great.

These work great until you forget to bring the transmitter inside after a huge drunk bbq pool party and it gets wet...Then, not-so-much.

Does it have caller ID?

We bought this the last go-round. My DH loves it.

I'm in for 2, but I have a caveat for potential buyers: This thing is only rated for a maximum temperature of 479 degrees.

Why is this important? Well, if you are like me and have an infrared grill, it can get up to over 900 degrees, which would melt the compound in the probe, rendering it useless. If you have an infrared, I recommend the dual probe thermoworks with tips that are rated for 1000+.

Why 2 for me? For one of my smokers. One probe to put into the meat to monitor it, and one probe to attach to an alligator clip in the smoker itself to get a detailed reading of the actual temp in it (which should never go above about 225).

Have you had this one or are you just saying in general? I was interested until i read this

Just for you Gatzby!

Will there be Bacon Salt soon to accompany this item?

If you cook BEEF to 170 you and it have no taste

Will this work with my Mac n' Cheese?

That's not much of a review.

Amazon's got a little bit more about these:

430??


Im sure ill be around then hoovering over the f5 button!!

Awesome! In for one.

I wonder if there's an app for that.. It'd be nice not to have to carry around some 1990's looking phone, to have to measure the temp of my steaks, while i'm multitasking. Now if we could get a probe unit that uploads to a central database and then updates you with a push notification once your meat is about to reach perfect temp, that would be something.

Got this last time. It's pretty great. Has a nice solid probe that doesn't seem likely to break any time soon. Easy to use.

Not really a review so much as a specs press release...

3 stars on Amazon and nearly twice the price.

Fixed!

I have one and use it both in the oven and the grill. Highly recommend.

In for one.. Used an Oregon Scientific until one of my kids lost the receiver

I picked one of these up off of another woot off. Love it. We use it in the kitchen and on the grill. Have had it for almost a year (looks like the same exact model, but couldn't be sure).

They sell this same unit at Omaha Steaks for 20 bucks. Bought one and love it. No broken cables for 2 years and it works in the oven or grill. I like that I can take it wireless around the yard and still hear the temp. This is a must have for grilling.

I smoke baby back ribs and need a constant temp and this lets me know that all that deliciousness is good to go!

Is good. Got one last time they were offered. Me likey.

I have one of these. The only issue is range...it doesn't let you know if it has lost the signal from the transmitter. If you're looking for a patio/kitchen sort of thing...this will work well. If you're looking for patio to the second floor back bedroom...not so much.

Exactly what is a quality post???. Anyone know?

I was wondering what to get my dad for his birthday, and then this appeared. Thanks, Woot!

Wow, this is one woot I'm in for and will use it often, thanks woot!

Since they're remote, won't the frequencies conflict with each other??
