Amazon.com Review
This barbecue fork takes all the guesswork out of grilling meats. With its built-in digital thermometer, the fork supplies accurate temperature readings in either Fahrenheit or Celsius when its tines are inserted into a cut of meat. A chart on the back of the handle provides a quick reference to the minimum temperature requirements recommended by the USDA for food safety. Because the thermometer reads all temperatures between 0 and 220 degrees Fahrenheit (-18 to 104 degrees Celsius), it can also be used to determine how thawed or cool meats removed from the freezer or refrigerator are at the start of cooking.

This digital fork has a handy hold button that locks in the current temperature reading on the large, 0.5-inch display panel. An on/off button and automatic shutoff extend the fork's battery life. Other non-battery-powered features include a comfortable, nonslip rubberized handle, sturdy stainless-steel handles that easily lift large cuts of meat, and tapered tines that, when withdrawn from the meat, let the meat juices drain back in. This digital fork thermometer runs on one AAA battery (included), and is covered by a lifetime warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

Good performer - great value April 19, 2008
This reasonably priced fork-thermometer is easy and intuitive to use, versatile, quick-responding, and accurate (I tested it against a standard). It has its heat-sensitive element in the tip of only one tine (not documented, but that's where it is) and, knowing that, it can be used to probe and measure the temperature of a wide variety of foods - or other stuff.

Tossed out my expensive model for this March 28, 2008
Unlike the Sharper Image one I'd been fighting with for 3 years...this model takes temps quick. Good readable light. Simple design and cooking internal temps on the back. Not complex with readings for every food you could cook and you don't have to burn your arm hair waiting for the temp to come up. Very good product.
Hand wash but why would you expect anything else.

Hand wash only,. and careful when you do. February 29, 2008
Only for the meticulous. I bought this as a gift. Unfortunately when it was hand washed (not dishwasher safe) the handle must have gotten wet, because it stopped working.

Too big and slow to be useful January 20, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

I used this for years, and thought it was pretty good. Then I got a CDN Proaccurate Stainless Digital Thermometer, and realized how wrong I had been.

Never having had an instant-read thermometer before, I thought it was normal to sit there for almost a minute waiting for the temperature to stabilize. Of course, that minute is a big deal if you've taken your steak off the heat and then have to put it back on.

Also, the tines are big, and you have to get a fair amount of them embedded into the meat to get an accurate temperature. You wind up putting big holes in the meat, which then leak a ton of juices. And for thinner steaks, it's hard to navigate in at an angle that lets you get enough of the tines in the middle.

For those reviewers who suggest it's great to have only one utensil: you really don't want to flip steak with a fork anyway. Every time you puncture the steak, you're losing juices. You're much better off with a grill spatula, and a fast thermometer with a small probe.

Doesn't fit what I need. September 4, 2007
I wanted it for use in the kitchen - it is way too big and bulky for that purpose. I am not happy with it as it doesn't fit anyplace in my kitchen or in any of my kitchen drawers unless I lay it sideways - then it takes up too much room.
