The thermometer provides quick and accurate temperature readings, which makes cooking things to perfection so much easier - especially with items now being cooked faster in the air fryer, it’s great to have that piece of mind. The digital display is clear and easy to read, and the device feels sturdy. I particularly appreciate how straightforward it is to use, clean and store. Overall, I would highly recommend this product to anyone who enjoys cooking and wants reliable results every time. I’ve also purchased one for my parents too! Review: Seems OK, accuracy OK, reaction times not too bad - I've only just received it but it seems robust enough to last. - I find the swing-out probe easier to handle than the fixed [straight] thermometer I used to use. - I really do not understand the review that claimed this was "very poor quality". Its design & manufacture seem fine to me. It needs an AAA battery [which is not included]. - I haven't yet managed to find a low battery to test the "LOB" indicator that the instructions mention. It seems to agree with my old [mercury] kitchen thermometer so I assume that means it's correct. - It's default reading is in Celcius so there's no messing about to do. [The instructions tell you how to swap it to Fahrenheit if you need to.] - It is supposedly accurate to whole degrees. That's more than good enough for me. - It also displays points of a degree which is handy for helping you to see when the reading has settled down. [But don't expect that final digit itself to be stable, the thermometer is not that accurate.] - I haven't bothered to run the calibration procedure. [I can only guess but perhaps the complaint in another review about it not calibrating correctly was caused by an incorrect expectation that it would calibrate to within 0.1C rather than the 1C that it is actually capable of.] - The instructions contain a list of 'correct' temperatures for various foods but I haven't bothered checking if the list is correct. It takes 10 seconds to give a settled reading. - It's more or less there [within a degree] after 5 secs. So that's going to be good enough for me in practice. - It takes a minute to settle back down to show the room temperature after use [even if it is shaken or wiped clean]. So that will stop me fussing every few seconds re-checking things unnecessarily. The auto-on/off works. - It turns itself on when you unfold the probe than it turns itself off when you fold the probe back against the body. - It can be a bit awkward using the off button. The auto-on does not work the next time until you manually turn it on once using the button then allow it to turn itself off again by folding the probe back against the body again. --- Hanging it up --- - The magnet is OK and holds the thing firmly enough to cope with a few accidental knocks. - The hole to "Hang in a nail or hook" is also OK. - The supposed hole "used for hanging rope" is poorly positioned and, in my opinion, unusable. Anything thicker than 2mm will foul the probe and anything lose will foul the probe as it is swung out. ## Features - 🌭【4s INSTANT READ】:Takes the temperature in a little as 4-7second, which makes these utensils the best for usage when grilling on your gas bbq or turkey fryer, making candy, using hot oil to deep fry, brewing beer and wine and even making cheese and bread. - 🍗【ACCURATE&ºF/ºC】: The high precision temperature sensor, accurate to 1ºF (between -4ºF to 392ºF/-50ºC to 300ºC), ensures you can grill meat to your perfect doneness knowing it wont be under cooked or burnt. You won't get this level of accuracy with infrared laser gun thermometers. - 🍤【AUTO ON/OFF】:With the intelligent automatic ON/OFF function, the thermometer probe turns on or off by itself when you unfold or fold the probe. Digital meat thermometer will auto-shut off to save battery life if readout stays for 10 minutes. - 🍆【HOLD BUTTON】: Stainless foldable tapered probe-length 11cm, simply pull out the probe, insert into your food or liquid and read the temperature. Before withdrawing probe, push "HOLD". It will hold the temperature reading until pressed again. - 🥦【Easy to Use and Store】Magnetic back and hook allows for convenient storage. It can be affixed to the fridge, and can also be placed in the drawer or hangs on the hook. You can conveniently store this where you can have easy and quick access! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0BCGNJNKB | | Batteries Required? | No | | Batteries included? | No | | Best Sellers Rank | 1,045 in Home & Kitchen ( See Top 100 in Home & Kitchen ) 5 in Meat Thermometers | | Colour | Red | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (7,501) | | Date First Available | 30 Aug. 2022 | | Display style | Digital | | Included components | 1 Kitchen Thermomete | | Item Weight | 50 g | | Item model number | D1-2853616 | | Manufacturer | flintronic®-uk | | Measurement Accuracy | 1ºF | | Part number | F4EU-2853616 | | Power source type | Battery Powered | | Product Dimensions | 11 x 0.03 x 0.03 cm; 50 g | | Size | #1 Type A | | Special Features | Fast Reading System | | Style | Red-N | ## Product Details - **Age range (description):** Adult - **Brand:** flintronic - **Colour:** Red - **Display type:** Digital - **Included components:** 1 Kitchen Thermomete - **Outer material:** Plastic - **Power source:** Battery Powered - **Product care instructions:** Wipe Clean - **Special feature:** Fast Reading System - **Unit count:** 1.0 Count ## Images ![Digital Instant Read Meat Thermometer, High Accuracy Foldable Long Probe Food Cooking Thermometer with °F/°C, Auto On/Off, Red - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51lPARHiY5L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does it work in oil?** A: Dear customer, Yes, it can work in oil **Q: Does it measure in 20s centigrade** A: It measures temperatures of -50 C to 300 C or -58 F to 572 F. Either measurement can be used at the touch of a button. Not sure what the question means by measuring in 20s C. There is a guide on the handle showing fish or the type of meat to be cooked and an indication of whether it would be rare or well done at certain temperatures. However, when I switch it on (before it goes into the meat) it already shows a temperature and I found I had to add this to the indicated temperature on the handle. e.g. when I switched it on this morning it read 20.8 C. To cook meat well done it shows you should read a temperature of 77 C.....I would take this temperature and add 20.8 to get the result of well done meat. I took this information from my older guage as I used them both the first time and using the readings on my old guage the meat was medium this new one said well done. When I cut into the meat it showed that my older one was correct and this one was not - therefore I will add the initial reading to whatever temperature the guage says I shoud look for. However, this may be just the one I got and others may read more true. I think it is a case of trial and error. **Q: Does this have the table printed on the device? Some pics show it some don't.** A: When I bought this, the one that arrived did indeed have a table printed on it. I wonder if the pictures have been updated. I was specifically looking for one with it printed on and I would have wondered the same. It was a while ago but I don't recall thinking that. **Q: Does it tell when meat is cooked?** A: It tells you the core temperature of the item you are cooking. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product for all foods. *by C***S on 7 October 2025* I recently purchased the Flintronic Digital Instant Read Meat Thermometer and have been thoroughly impressed with it so far.

Unfortunately the item died after 7 months, tried a replacement battery to no avail. As it's a low cost item I would repurchase. ## Frequently Bought Together - Flintronic Digital Instant Read Meat Thermometer, High Accuracy Foldable Long Probe Food Cooking Thermometer with °F/°C, Auto On/Off, Red - Caterpack by Robinson Young Probe Wipes 175 Pack, Effective Against a Wide Range of Bacteria and viruses. - INRIGOROUS Pack of 2 LCD Digital Fridge Freezer Thermometer Monitor with Hanging Hook and Retractable Stand --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ni/products/487770295-digital-instant-read-meat-thermometer-high-accuracy-foldable-long-probe](https://www.desertcart.ni/products/487770295-digital-instant-read-meat-thermometer-high-accuracy-foldable-long-probe) --- *Product available on Desertcart Nicaragua* *Store origin: NI* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
