The nicest digital meat thermometer I've found. Very user friendly & most all meat temperatures are already programed in this unit.

Too bad I can't give this zero stars. Buy this worthless product at your own risk! Count me among those who are VERY dissatisfied with both the product and the company.
I was given this meat thermometer as a gift last Christmas. The probe destroyed itself the THIRD time I used it so that the readout on the base unit continuously displayed "HI" whenever the power was turned on (meaning it is sensing a higher oven temperature than it recommends for the type of meat you selected on the base unit). For those who are thinking "Well, he must have had the probe lead too close to the heating element, or bent it, or did something else stupid," I was very careful not to bend the lead or route it too close to the heating element. As others have noted, the insulating material around the probe wires is entirely inadequate to protect the wires from normal oven temperatures. I never had my oven higher than 350 degrees, but you could clearly see the spot on the probe cable where the wires got fried from the heat, and it wasn't anywhere near the oven's heating elements.
I have been on the Maverick company's waiting list for a new probe for three months, and now they're telling me it'll be at least another month before they get any more probes in. What a worthless piece of crap. I've never before heard of a meat thermometer with a probe so poorly constructed that it self-destructs in the environment it's supposed to be used in and is in such short supply that it's nearly non-replaceable.

I've just used my thermometer a few times, but it's working fine so far. I just got done re-programming the "done" temperatures from the USDA safe-but-inedibly-overcooked recommendations to more reasonable levels. That wasn't difficult at all--in fact, all the directions are very easy to follow.

You have to treat this probe carefully, as you do with any digital probe. The internal wires are fine and will break if flexed repeatedly, especially at the probe to cable transition point. With reasonable care we got 4 years of use from one probe.
After probe died it took some searching to find the probes. They available from Maverick in New Jersey. Two probes for $20, including shipping. Go to http://www.maverickhousewares.com/parts_and_service.htm and down to the PDF form. You want the ET-8 STD PROBE(2-Pak), for $20 as of 12/2008. You will get 2 probes sent by mail. They included shipping and handling in the price. They respond courteously to email.

My son bought this thermometer for me. It was great for a while. I used it on my smoker. I loved the magnet on the back, to help keep me from dropping it. It measured so accurately for maybe a dozen uses and then suddenly in the middle of a cook it registered HI on the cooking temperature and never again came down. I just bought another one I hope it works longer.
