Reliable for everyday cooking
I recently tried out the Rubbermaid Commercial Products Food/Meat Instant Read Thermometer, and hereâs my take on it:Accuracy and Speed: The thermometer provides reasonably accurate readings, but itâs not the fastest. It takes a bit longer to register the temperature compared to some digital thermometers. However, itâs still reliable for everyday cooking.Dishwasher Safe: One of the standout features is that itâs dishwasher safe. After measuring the temperature, I can toss it in the dishwasher without worry. No fuss, no hassle.Pocket Size: The compact design makes it easy to carry around. I keep it in my kitchen drawer, and it doesnât take up much space.Surface Area Requirement: Itâs worth noting that this thermometer seems to need a decent amount of surface area covered to get an accurate read. Thin cuts of meat might be a bit challenging to measure accurately.Handheld Convenience: While itâs not lightning-fast, itâs still convenient for quick checks. I appreciate that I donât need to wait for it to stabilize like some other thermometers.Overall Impression: If youâre looking for a straightforward, no-frills thermometer thatâs easy to clean and gets the job done, the Rubbermaid Instant Read Thermometer is a solid choice.

Good temperature reading tool.
I used it to test the temperature of my car air conditioner while adding the freon. It has a long stem that can reach inside the ac outlet vent. It is certainly good (It’s main purpose) for probing temperature of food because the reading dial is clear showing wide temperature range (0-220 F). I always like all Rubbermaid quality products. They never fail me.

1-out-of-5 for accuracy, 1 for easy-to-read, and 1 for easy-to-use. Averages out to “1,” total.
The dial really is too small. You have to approach it closely with a magnifying glass — and I have a big magnifier, but the glass cover over the thermometer’s dial even makes that difficult because there’s optical distortion around the rim of the glass which is where the markings are. And then, you’re getting your eyeballs so close that you have to be careful about breathing on the thermometer — the probe is only a few inches away, and it is sensitive and quick to react, regardless of accuracy (which is questionable).I didn’t ask much from the calibration procedure. I have a bunch of digital thermometers because I’m OCD, so I figured I’d calibrate the Rubbermaid to my other thermometers at room temperature. I needed the thermometer to measure around 80 or 90 degrees, not too far from room temperature. I didn’t really know how inaccurate the dial would be at 80 or 90 if I calibrated it at room temperature, but I was willing to accept whatever the error might be. But, between the dial being close to impossible to read, the need to handle the thermometer while calibrating it, and the need to breathe, I think the needle moved as I was trying to calibrate, so I just couldn’t do it.Consider: If the dial is tiny enough, the distance between each degree gets really close together. Then add the optical distortion of the glass cover on top of that, and your doomed. DOOMED! No way to get the calibration down to one particular degree, even though the markings suggest that you could. When the difference between single-degrees is a hair’s width, you really need to be up-close to the dial to see that your re-calibration is accurate. It needs to be a delicate procedure, and it takes time, and I give off heat all over my body, and I’m pretty sure the needle is sneaking upwards as I’m manipulating things.Also, it’s hard to hold the thermometer with one hand, the calibration tool with the other hand, and the magnifying glass with my prehensile tail.Also, there’s the parallax problem — the difference in the needle’s apparent position when you look from two different positions. Since the markings are sooo close together, the readings change by 4 degrees just because you move your head slightly.I just haven’t really been able to use this thermometer for anything. And since I’m being held prisoner in an assisted living facility since The Virus, I can’t drop the thermometer into an Amazon-box for a free refund; instead, someone would have to come to this facility to pick up the thermometer, and Amazon charges a fee for that. I didn’t look into the specifics, but the pick-up fee might cost more than what I’d get back for returning the thermometer. So it’s just a loss.I assume Rubbermaid was purchased by a foreign corporation, or else their name wouldn’t be on this product. It’s rather a scam. But I had to find out for myself.

Works great, very accurate
I like this thermometer so much better than the digital thermometers on the market these days. I find it much easier to use.We’ve had this thermometer at home for years, and we use it all the time. Because I rely on it so much, I had to order a second thermometer to use at our lake cabin.ACCURACYThe thermometer is very accurate. I’ve tested it against two digital thermometers we have (and no longer use), and it reads the same as the digital thermometers.FUNCTIONThe digital thermometers we have always seem to need a new battery – and of course, I don’t always have the right kind of battery on hand. It’s frustrating when this happens and you need to know the temperature of something you’re cooking. I finally gave up on the digital thermometers and will just stick to this one – no batteries required.I also like the size of this thermometer, compared to the digital ones we have (had). It’s easier to store in a drawer.I am very happy with the quality, accuracy, and durability of this thermometer. I definitely recommend it!

Not what I expected
Not accurate enough. The first one I put on the roast and put the roast in the oven. The plastic top melted and I could no longer see the temperature. The second one just isnt giving me good readings. I did attempt to recalculate it but no help.

Lo compré para poder hacer un brisket en cocimiento lento, pero ahora lo usamos para checar la temperatura de otros cortes como lomo, pork shoulder, picaña, pescado. Es muy fácil de usar.Calibrarlo es la parte que toma más tiempo pero no es difÃcil. Solo necesitas hielo picado y agua en un vaso para meter el termómetro.Como no usa baterÃas me parece mejor opción, más durable que los digitales.

It can be adjusted which I did. All metal so no glass to break. The top is quite small and could be difficult to read.
