Multi Uses
Only used a few times, but when I have used it, it has performed exactly as described. Not only did I use it for a roast (which worked perfectly), but I used it when baking bread. Takes the guess work out of cooking resulting in perfect results. Would totally recommend it for people looking to make their lives easier.

Works well, solid construction
I cannot fully rate this product on actual performance as I have not yet tried it out on a roast, which is why I didn't give 5 stars. However, it is a well-built unit and after going through numerous temperature sensors, this has the promise of a long life. The probe construction including the braided cable lend themselves to surviving frequent use and the dual temperature feature is the most appealing to me, as oven temperatures have always been a concern. I can use this simply as an oven temperature probe without risk of damage as it is rated to go to high temperatures unlike other units that are limited to less than 300F for measuring meat temperature.

Love it.
My wife opened this as a Christmas gift and it was put to use almost immediately with our Christmas ham. First, it showed us that our oven thermostat was 5 degrees too cool and we adjusted the temperature setting accordingly. As the cooking progressed we could watch the oven temperature vary with the pre-set temp right in the middle. The meat was done almost an hour earlier than the cooking instructions said it would be. If we'd relied on cooking time alone, we'd have ruined the ham. It came out perfectly baked. If the thermometer holds up over time we'll be very pleased with this product. It was a little tricky setting the temperatures, though.

I bought one for myself and now one for my daughter. It shows both oven and food temperture. I used it on turkey,beef roast and pulled pork. It also has an alarm that lets you know when the food is done. It is very handy. I also use it when I grill whole chickens and larger cuts of meat.

Accurate, though some flaws
Took accurate temperature readings. Meat probe comes to temperature quickly, but oven temp takes a while. The oven temp button is also kind of messed up on mine - would have returned it if I didn't need to use it so quickly.

This product performed exactly as I needed.
I have only used this thermometer a few times. I purchased it to use in my smoker/grill. It allowed me to monitor both the grill temperature and well as the meat internal temperature.
Since I am using this product in a kamado style grill I would have like a longer lead line for a more convenient placement of the display box, For oven use the length is just fine.

Okay Thermometer
Not a great thermometer, but it works okay. Not sure the oven temperature readout is accurate. I'll give it a bit more use and check the readouts for accuracy before I pass final judgment. Stay tuned.

Great product
I have used it twice, to cook a pork tenderloin and to reheat a fully cooked ham, works perfectly. I thought my oven temp. was a little low but it is dead on.
