FS: Sharper Image Meat Thermometer

[justcuz]

Got this for my parents for a gift and found out they already have one. This thing looks sweet.....


Features:

* Programmed with proper internal temperatures for cooking beef, poultry, lamb, or pork to a desired degree of doneness
* See though flip up display opens to monitor settings
* Color changing LED bar shows the status, Blue for raw, Yellow for rare, Orange for medium rare/medium, and Red for well done
* Presets doneness ranges for 15 different meat types
* Set specific doneness ranges for meat types
* Pre-alert, alert, and overcook alarms
* 20 hour count down or count up timer
* Displays temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit


$18 (which is what I paid) plus a couple bucks to ship it.

is the probe and cord long enough to work while the meats are in the oven \ is the probe\cord oven safe?

is the probe and cord long enough to work while the meats are in the oven \ is the probe\cord oven safe?

The magical question

Quick searching online says that the LED changes to indicate doneness and its called an "over thermoeter". Both of which indicate that its good to go

[jibbinfool]

so many good joke opportunities here... haha

P, the cord is plenty long. You leave the "base" on the counter, and the cord and thermometer go through the oven door and the probe goes into the meat (hehe.......). The cord is small and your oven door's seal goes right around it, no probs at all. Thing looks sweet, but I'll never use it because my parents do the turkey cookin'.......and they have one!


Don't muck that turkey any more. This is your key to greatness.

[pechelman]

so im interested

couple more questions

whats the temp range on this one?
i know some digi thermometers have a small range and arent useful if you need to use it for frying or measuring cold stuff.
also, how long is your probe? he he he (seriously though, how long is the metal proby bit?)

[justcuz]

I will check these things tonight when I get home and post more information tomorrow.

[justcuz]

K, here's what I found out.


Probe: 3.5"


Wire length from probe to unit: 32"


Temp range: ?? to 180 F I think. Doesn't give specifics on this in the manual. If this is a deal breaker, I'll pull the thing out of the box and put some batteries in it and test for you.


It really is pretty dummy proof....just choose what kind of meat you have and it tells you when it's done. You can set the "alert" temp, so the screen will display the alert temp and the internal temp.

Will it tell me how hot I am?

[focus]

I'm interested too, if pechelman doesn't want it.

[Skis]

Will it tell me how hot I am?

Yes. You just need to insert it properly.

[justcuz]

P, are you thinking you want it? If not...Focus it's yours. I can drop it off whenever.

[AsheanMT]

Damn I'm too late.

[justcuz]

Damn I'm too late.

You're number three.


If P doesn't want it, then it goes to Focus. If he bails, you're next Ashean.

[pechelman]

sorry i must not have seen this thread for a while

im out
need a higher temp range and 3.5" is a bit tiny for my probing

[irul&ublo]

Will it tell me how hot I am?

Sure...just stick the probe up your ass. Remove your buttplug first. PM Rontele for more detailed instructions.

[justcuz]

Focus? 12345678

[focus]

I'll send you a PM.
