About PBKay Digital Cooking Candy Liquid Thermometer with Stainless Steel Pot Clip
Overall Feedback:
77% positive
77% praised for its high accuracy, while 23% found it unreliable.
I was tired of waiting for minutes to see the temperature readout, but now I get quick and accurate results. This helps me decide if I need to put it back in the oven or if it is at a safe temperature.
I believe the temperature readings are accurate as they match my traditional food thermometer.
I used to be frustrated with waiting for minutes to get the temperature readout, but now I get quick and accurate results with this thermometer.
I have noticed that the thermometer gives a faulty read when clipped onto the pot due to its angled position.

79% liked its fast reading time, although 21% found it slow.
When I inserted the thermometer, it responded quickly and reached 155F from room temperature in less than 10 seconds.
When I placed it in a hamburger, it took 10-12 seconds to go from 65 F to 155 F. It's not super fast but not bad either.
This thermometer is a little slower to reach the temperature than my other thermometer, but about the same as my other two.
The product is flimsy and falls out of place easily. I dropped it once and had to put it back in place. Now, it falls out occasionally even if I set it down a bit harder or drop it on carpet.
83% appreciated its waterproof feature, yet 17% found it lacking.
I find the water resistance to be the best feature of the thermometer since I use it with liquids.
The unit is water resistant and can be briefly dunked or run over for cleaning.

82% found the battery life exceptional, although 18% had issues with it dying quickly.
I am disappointed that the product did not last as long as I expected.
I assumed the thermometer needed a new battery and tried to remove it, but the wire connecting the top to the probe came out completely and it was difficult to remove.
83% highlighted the clear display, though 17% found it hard to read.
I love the automatic shut off feature and the clear and bright LCD display.
The display cuts off randomly, the probe needs to be mostly submerged to read, and the temperature is very off when double-checked with a glass thermometer.
Within ten minutes, the display overheated and turned black, indicating poor display quality.
The display quality is not good enough. The numbers are hard to read and the buttons are small and a little too close together.

78% appreciated its robust build, yet 22% found it fragile.
My unit face broke when I dropped it, requiring some taping and soldering to hold it all together again.
I suggest looking for more durable items as this one is not durable enough.
The product is not safe to leave in while cooking as the plastic will deform and melt in the oven or on a grill.
I dropped the product and it broke easily due to its flimsiness.

83% highlighted its timer functionality, although 17% found it unnecessary.
When I inserted the thermometer, it responded rapidly and reached 155F from room temperature in less than 10 seconds.
When I hold the thermometer by hand, I can gauge the temperature from the middle of the cooking oil pan very well.
The thermometer has a 2-second delay on catching up to heat, but it is still useful for checking meat and baking purposes.
When I placed the thermometer in a hamburger, it took about 10-12 seconds to go from 65 F to 155 F, which is not super fast but not bad.
