Don't buy this!
this thermometer works great for a few months then suddenly conks out on you, for no reason. mine worked perfectly (and accurately) and then after being in storage for a few months, the LCD display suddenly won't work right. i used fresh batteries so i know that's not the problem. too bad, because it's relatively quick measurments made it double quite nicely as an instant-read thermometer. ugh! now i gotta find a new thermometer!
