"Aft r following the directions on pairing, it works very well and is easy to understand. It feels good to know that we won't have to throwt the thermometer if the probe fails."
"I purchased a digital thermometer years ago and monitored temps by openingbtge oven, taking the dish out, etc., somtimes multiple times to get the thing right and I missed the mark more times than I care to remember. This device: home run first at-bat (yeah, I’m looking forward to baseball season)."
"Being able to leave the lid closed while monitoring the temperature accurately keeps the grill temperature more even and allows better cooking, especially in chilly weather."
"Didn't really think I would have a need for the remote feature, but chose the product for the price and probe guarantee."
"The customer service has emailed me several times since purchase just making sure that we are happy with the product and know that they are available in the event that something stops working correctly."
"I use this one for smoking in my Masterbuilt or other similar controlled temp smoker and I use the dual probe that ThermoPro makes when I use my BGE and it not only tells me the temp of the meat but the temp of the grill."
"Worked perfectly to 180 deg. It said they were done, so I trusted the probe temp and cut into them."

The wide temperature range means that it can be used to test jams, sugar and oil as well as chilled dishes."
"I was so tired of burning my fingers when making pulled pork and these put an end to it!"
"UPDATE: The company "Cool Stuff Quick" must have read my review because I immediately received a new set of claws in the mail. So in this case the generic is not like the name brand but the company was quick to rectify the transaction so I am pleased."
"All was going well until the juices began flowing through the mitts, through the long sleeves I was wearing and into the front of my shirt as I strove valiantly to make it the last eight inches! The whole turkey, gorgeous golden toasted skinned turkey unceremoniously spun upside wrong and made a sick splatting noise on the top of the stove on a front burner where it began to disintegrate from the stress of re-entry."
"They're shipped loosely in a small cardboard box- and when I opened the box, I noticed some of the ends of the claws had been slightly broken- but still attached by a sliver of plastic. 3)After shredding nothing more than chicken breasts in a stainless steel pot- I noticed the ends of the claws had some flat spots, as if they had been rubbed off/broken off during the shredding process. Possibly from the mixture of heat and the fact that they were striking against a stainless steel pot?"
"It does not actually shred anything but pork shoulder which basically shreds itself."

Find Best Price at Amazon"Also, I've always felt the probe on the CDN was a little too short, I'd always be almost burning my hand trying to take a temp on some stovetop chicken because you have to hold the bulb in place directly above. Anyway, these things were getting annoying so I was thinking of making the plunge into a Thermapen, putting it on my holiday list (because its so pricey), etc- however, when I was on amazon, I saw this item, the Thermawand, a new thermometer that is clearly putting itself directly up against the Thermapen. All the following is in comparison to my use of the CDN: - its more comfortable and intuitive to use, by extending the temp sensor wand it turns itself on, when you close it, it turns off. - much bigger, easy read display. - overall length is a little longer than the CDN, so you can hold it further away from the heat. The temp reading on the Thermowand was not as "jumpy" yet it was still reading in real time, as when I held it in the pot of water, I watched it creep up second by second. I know part of the "jumpyness" could be attributed to the fact that the CDN is technically a bit more sensitive than the Thermowand- however, I'm not talking about being jumpy within a degree or so."
"So far this works well."
"Not so much as to see the temp as it was to read the temp properly."
"I bought this for my sister who loves it."
"After using them both for a year, I had a bad cook one day and decided to test them both in boiling water along with a cheap thermometer/temp monitor that I also bought from Wally World. Get this or an even cheaper therm if it's all you can afford, otherwise save your money and by a Thermapen mk2 for $80 when they go on sale."
"Works excellent, totally worth the money."
"I had one of those old fashioned, inaccurate thermometers for years."
"Simply retract the measuring probe and it automatically turns on and retract it back to the thermometer body to turn off."

I finally ordered the Grill Beast and can highly recommend this fine injector. dual hole needle this past weekend to inject a full packer brisket."
"Love it, fits my hand perfectly."
"Solidly made product, but they were wise enough to include spare O-rings (which are bound to deteriorate over time)."
"The needles are sharp and tapered so they easily puncture the meat."
"The 2 long needles included are just as extreme as is the lifetime warranty. I love to cook, and grill a lot of meals.I cook a lot of meals on a large BGE, and inject a lot of meats."
"This injector set is awesome!"
"To make it easier to inject, add a little bit of cooking oil to the o-rings so the parts slide easily. My first time using it was for Thanksgiving dinner and I'd like to think that it made a difference in terms of moisture and flavor."
"Large capacity syringe, and extra long, very sharp needles make east work of injecting your favorite solutions deep into tissues."
Best Meat Grinders
The STX TURBOFORCE 3000 SERIES Meat Grinder is BUILT TO LAST and packs some VERY HEAVY DUTY OUTPUT POWER & TORQUE!!! This Meat Grinder is intended to Grind Meat - This Grinder Will NOT Grind Bones.
Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"The first conclusion: the most important feature of a meat grinder is the motor power. This STX has a powerful 1,800 watts motor, more than enough to do all of the duties of a home kitchen (and maybe even of a small restaurant). The ground meat texture results very similar to that from a supermarket grinder. We didn't notice that, and what went to the dishwasher was damaged: the shining was gone and those parts became some rough to touch. So, I contacted the seller (The Mercantile Station) and asked them the price of the replacing parts, since I would buy them. What a pleasant surprise: they promptly sent me an email asking for my address, and they kindly offered to send the parts for free (despite, I must stress, the damage was caused by me). IMPORTANT NOTE: a few months after we bought our STX, the motor was improved to 2,000 watts, i.e, an increase of about 11%."
"Put a bit of already ground meat back into hopper to push through the last piece of steak so it doesn't get stuck - push down with pusher."
"Being a machinist I took a good sharpening stone and dressed the disks and blades, they broke in perfectly. Determining the right amount of tension on the disk retaining ring is not exact science."
"My mom seems to love this thing and grinds everything in it, mainly meats and vegetables."
"While this machine does produce a loud whirring sound while operating, it is a very efficient machine and gets the job done quickly!"
"This device is purple, lavender. The kitchen are had a solide fit for the screw and the housing."
"Easy assembly, good fitting parts except the meat trough is loose when in use and has no way in which to secure it."
Best Meat & Poultry Tenderizers
Original multi-blade hand-held meat tenderizer. Penetrating knives create tiny heat channels within the meat^Reduces cooking times by up to 40% resulting in much more juicy and flavorful meat (as the cooking heat has less time to dry out the meat)^Provides pathway for marinades to be absorbed deeper into the meat....increasing absorption by up to 600%^Allows heat to penetrate the meat evenly across varying thickness to prevent under / over cooking.

Find Best Price at Amazon"To those who mentioned the Jaccard squished their meat, made it bleed, or simply didn't work, I really think it comes down to how it's used and not the product itself. On a more tender piece of meat (i.e. strip or sirloin) I just do 2 passes."
"Jaccard is the original manufacturer of this as well as the makers of the machines the butcher uses to make "Cube Steak" as they call it in Michigan or "Chicken Fried" in Texas."
"Still eating tough steaks, chicken or pork chops; well whose fault is that?"
"The meat chews like a ribeye, no exaggeration."
"After using the Jaccard, I put it in the top shelf of my dishwasher, (as per instructions), and it came out perfectly clean. I think that the Jaccard would be useful to just about anybody who wants tender meat, but would be especially nice as a wedding shower or new home gift."
"Note that for thick cuts of meat, you'll get a good forearm workout, because the blades don't easily retract after you push them down unless they go all the way through."
"I have a Jaccard, they are great, so it's a shame that Amazon is selling this junk as the real deal."
"But as I have to remove the cartridge to properly clean it, and it's a few years old now, I figured to replace it with this simpler no cartridge model."

"Putting the metal probe back down into position turns it off - a great way to remember not to wear down the battery."
"I love poking the meat and getting an instant read."
"My first "grown-up" kitchen thermometer."
"I keep it magnetized to the fridge so I can test my coffee water for my french press each and every morning."
"This started displaying random temperatures after about ten months (I would stick it in a piece of chicken and it would say 130, then 190, then -50, and never settle on a temperature), despite changing the battery."

"I cooked my 22 pound turkey according to pounds per minute, and I checked the temp with this about half way through, and it registered as completely done (a little overdone actually)."
"If I weren’t using this, and went by time alone, I would have likely overlooked the chicken."
"It's a touch slow coming on so I did wait a bit to review it, but it works fine and the price was right."
"If you forget to switch it off, the battery can die quickly."
"The only reason it's not a 5 star is that it isn't as fast as I was hoping."
"This works wonderfully."
"I should have returned but waited to long after purchase to try it out and find out it uses those expensive coin batteries.It works as designed so worth it but not if the original battery burns out shortly from first useage."

"It is easy to use, probe is a good length, it registers the temperature quickly enough, and seems accurate (though I have not compared it to other thermometers as my last one got drowned and gave up)."
"Takes the guess work out of grilling and cooking in the kitchen."
"Simple and easy to operate!"
"Nice long but narrow probe, has a clip like a pen to keep it in your pocket."

Find Best Price at Amazon"We had had a George Foreman counter top grilling machine in the past so we looked to see if there were any sort of electric grills and were so excited when we found this grill!"
"We store the electrical component/plug-in indoors immediately after use once the grill cools off and cover the body of the grill with a heavy duty grill cover. 11 months after we purchased it I noticed a strong plastic electrical burning odor coming from the grill while it was heating up and the component that plugs into the grill was super hot and I immediately unplugged it thinking it was close to catching fire. ——————————————————. Update 12/20/17: The grill has been terrific so far and is performing without any problems."
"I started off at turning the dial to "5" and that charred one side of the burgers so then turned it down to 3 and a half. It locks in the moisture and it made for the most juicy burgers you'd ever had- hold the grease! After cooking 8 burgers the grease tray looked pretty full. So i'd say maybe between batches for fatty foods like burgers that you would have to lift the plate up and drain the fat."
"I love this grill, I've cooked steak, burgers, hot dogs etc on it."
"Wish it was a $129 grill. The 2nd thing we'd add to the grilling surface besides the 1/2 inch?"
"I almost didn't buy it because reviewers said it dries meats out, they must be novice because I'm no expert and it was one of the juiciest steaks I've had."

The problem of this thing and I think almost of this category, is that the contact poles will eventually get rusted, and will no do good contact, and the connector will catch temperature and with time will melt the external temp controller and the connectors itself."
