Review: Excellent 👌 - I picked up the ThermoWorks Chef’s Favorite Simple Thermometer a few weeks ago and it has already become one of the most reliable tools in my kitchen. The readings are incredibly fast and consistently accurate, which makes a huge difference when I am checking temperatures on chicken, steak, and baked goods. The display is bright and easy to read even in lower light, and the overall build quality feels solid in a way that tells you it will last. What I appreciate most is how effortless it is to use. There is no complicated setup or unnecessary features. You turn it on, it gives you a precise reading, and you can trust the result. That level of simplicity paired with real accuracy is exactly what I want from a kitchen thermometer. After using it on multiple meals, I can say it performs exactly as advertised and then some. It has taken all the guesswork out of cooking and has genuinely improved my results. This is an outstanding product and absolutely worth it.
Review: Great thermometer! - Very accurate and easy to use. Love that! It's simple, I had another one that you had to use a manual to figure out. ( and it still didn't work right) Pulled the rib roast at 115°, left the probe in and watched it. Rise to 128° over 20 minutes. Pretty cool. Definitely worth the money.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I switch the display between ºC and ºF?**
A: Yes! Press and hold the power button for 6 seconds to switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit.

**Q: Wouldn’t the cable affect the seal on the oven door?**
A: The probe's cable is so small that it does not affect the seal of the oven. This is how DOT was designed to be used.

**Q: Which probes work with DOT, and can I switch probes during cooking?**
A: DOT works with all Pro-Series probes, including air probes and penetration probes. You can switch probes mid-cook—unplug one and plug in another and DOT will instantly display the new probe’s temperature.

**Q: Where can I use DOT?**
A: Use DOT in smokers, air fryers, ovens, and more. Keep DOT outside the cooker while the probe monitors food. Ensure the probe cable stays below its max temperature of 700°F (370°C).

**Q: How does the alarm work?**
A: The DOT alarm sounds when a rising temperature hits your set target. Adjust the alarm temperature by pressing the up and down arrows.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Accurate - Easy to use
*by G***G on November 23, 2025*

I love this thermometer! After years of using the old metal clip on candy thermometers I finally upgraded to ThermoWorks. The DOT works well for candy making and it was super nice not to have to calibrate it or wonder if it was accurate. I make marshmallows and as with any candy making, the temperature needs to be precise. The alarm feature is a help as well so I could set the temp and go about my business. No more squinting and trying to figure out was that 130 or 140? I did buy a silicone pot clip but didn't use it for the marshmallows. I've also used the DOT when I make yogurt. The cultures die above certain temps and this has taken the guesswork out of that. I purchased a small hard shell case from Glcon (here on Amazon) that matches my DOT. Also the magnet is strong and works well to keep the DOT in place!
