Inkbird Instant Read Thermometer
Inkbird Instant Read Thermometer
I received an email a while back, asking if I would be interested in checking out and reviewing the New
Inkbird Instant Read Thermometer.
Shortly after that my Inkbird arrived, Packaged very nicely in a box.
I was impressed. Nice size and feels good in your hand.
I read through the instructions, very easy to understand.
When I opened the probe, I noticed three things. First it was a little stiff. Second, I noticed it had a couple of raised bumps to keep the probe secure, and Third it lit up instantly.
I thought that the raised bumps were a great thought in keeping the probe secure. The stiffness didn’t bother me, in fact I had rather it be stiff instead of loose. And the Lit display was a great touch.
Here is my assortment of Thermometers
My go-to has been the Thermowand (red one) ever since I got it, before that it was the one on the bottom. The top one I use to check Smoker temps/hot spots, the one above the Inkbird is for cooking inside (Wife’s) the only one missing is my Thermapen which I loaned out and never made it’s way back home.
I really Like my Thermowand “But” since the Inkbird arrived it has edged out the Thermowand.
One of the main reasons is the Longer Probe and the lighted display.
The one thing that could be improved on is the length of time the display stays on. About 15 sec. is all mine will stay on I'm thinking 30 to 45 sec. Would be great. But all you have to do is mash the button a couple of times and it's back on. Longer would be better.
Comparing the Thermowand to the Inkbird they were pretty darn close
The Boiling water Test Both Dead on the others were very, very close.
I compared the Inkbird to the other two probes while cooking, all were less that a degree difference.
We have used the Inkbird a lot, making candy, jelly and of course grilling and smoking.
It is now my go-to temp gauge and has performed flawless in cold and warm weather.
I was asked to give my honest opinion. Those of you who know me, know I say what I think and if this would not have been a good product, I would have said so or very little about it.
For an inexpensive Instant Read Thermometer You can’t beat the Inkbird. The charging cable that comes with it also a big plus, charges great.
I would compare the quality and accuracy of the Inkbird to those priced much higher.
My opinion you can’t go wrong with the Inkbird
