This in-oven/in-meat dial thermometer is an accurate but slow-to-respond unit that will work fine for its intended purpose, but will not double as an instant-read thermometer. It is intended to be inserted into the grill/smoker or food while it is cooking. Under these conditions, the response time doesn’t matter, and this thermometer will work well as a low-cost alternative to a digital unit. Its advantage is that it can be left in the oven and read directly without the need for a cable and external readout. The downside is that it won’t read reliably to one or two degrees, something that might be important for gauging doneness of meat.
We’ll give it a Bronze medal for adequate performance at a reasonable price.
