## Overview

The AcuRite 00278 Digital Meat Thermometer and Timer with Pager features a patent-pending algorithm that estimates cooking time for up to 9 hours and 59 minutes. It includes a wireless pager that alerts you with sound, light, and vibration when your food reaches the desired temperature or time. The thermometer provides instant readouts from -40°F to 450°F and comes with a 3-foot heat-resistant cord, ensuring you can monitor your cooking without losing heat. With USDA recommended presets and customizable temperature settings, this thermometer is designed for both novice and expert cooks.

## Description

AcuRite Digital Meat Thermometer & Kitchen Timer with Pager allows you to monitor food temperature within a 200 feet range while the oven, grill, fryer, slow cooker, smoker or bib door or lid is closed. Advanced, patent-pending algorithm estimates the time left to cook. The commercial quality, stainless steel probe measures internal food temperature during cooking and features a 3 feet 700 degrees Fahrenheit heat resistant cord. Easy-set rotary dial lets you select one of the USDA recommended temperature presets or set your own temperature or time. When the target food temperature is reached the wireless pager alerts with sound, light and vibration. The meat thermometer features a countdown/count up kitchen timer and a blue momentary backlight. Thermometer display powered by 3 AA batteries. Wireless pager powered by 2 AAA batteries. One-year limited warranty. It's more than accurate, it's AcuRite.

Review: Accurate, robust, thermometer: pager feature more than a gimmick - The thermometer works well, has a long enough cord that I can set the display on the counter next to the oven, and it has a clear read out. The remote pager is a nice feature too. I originally thought it was just a gimmick but it bailed me out once when I got caught up watching tv and lost track of time. Most importantly, the probe seems accurate and I’ve been very happy with the done-ness of the meats I’ve used it with (steak, chicken, pork, and sausages so far). The only reason it doesn’t get 5 stars from me (I’d give it 4 1/2) is because some of the suggested targeted temperatures are outdated...or at least, they don’t match the most recent recommendations I’ve found from authorities on the web. That’s no big deal as you can dial in any target you want, it just subtracts a little from the product. Overall I am very happy with it.
Review: I thought this was areally good wireless thermometer - I thought this was a really good wireless thermometer. I didn't need to read the instructions to have it working, then read later as meat was cooking and discovered you could set the receiver to vibrate rather than beep when it is in your pocket, or clipped to your belt. It worked in my pocket tranmitting from one side of my house to the other, through several walls. I think the magnet on the transmittor is to stick it to the side of the refrigerator - or maybe to the oven door when using, but no where too hot like a barbecue grill. The transmittor stands upright by itself on the kitchen counter and has a nice blue back light that by default stays on for 5 seconds or can be set to remain on permanently. On larger joints of meat it calculates and displays the remining cooking time - which I assume is a ball-park calculation based on the time the meat took to climb in temperature. The reciver merely indicates by a beep when the meat (or fish) is cooked - it has no display. Over all it appears to be a well made unit. Just use with common sense. Time will tell how robust it is.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Does the Job and Does it Well.
*by S***R on September 19, 2015*

Thus far, this has been a fantastic thermometer. Short backstory: had the classic Taylor with a timer. Classic Taylor died after owning it for just over a year. Replaced it with this. ON TO THE REVIEW! This AcuRite thermometer is great. Designed for baking, grilling, and all things in between, it is more than capable for anything you can throw at it. When you turn it on, it instantly gives you a selection as to what meat you are cooking and will tailor the cut off temp appropriately with next to no effort. In addition, this timer features a cook time estimator - it performs this task via measuring the rate of temperature increase and doing the math to see how long it will take to get to the target temperature. Complete with a backlight, this thermometer will not leave you hanging. Well, it might - but that is due to the industrial sized magnets on the back of it. They add quite a bit of heft at 2"x.5", but this thing will hang anywhere. The probe provided definitely rings as good quality - it uses a steel braided cable and a silicone grip on the end of the probe. Seems pretty accurate. Remote warning station (the unit on the left of the item picture) is a bit of a gimmick. Will vibrate or beep at you when your food is close to finished and then alarm when it is indeed finished. Downsides: - Top demerit: range between wireless receiver and base unit is extremely limited, even with new batteries. 10', 20' tops. Not great for large distances. - Main unit display can be difficult to read if not angled exactly right. Gets that LCD ghosting effect. - Worried that main unit knob may break off - seems instable. - Cannot use other probes. Plugged in the old Taylor probe and got a reading of 106F. I'm sure I could re-calibrate it, but then the original calibration would be off. - Wish the belt clip unit had a magnet on it to store with the thermometer (this lack of functionality is as close to nit-picking as I can get)
