Welcome back. Lets get onto the review. We left off part 1 with the famous beer test. Now lets see how it does with proven temps.
First up the boiling water test: Ink bird is up to bat. Nailed it dead nuts.
Now it's Webers turn at bat: Weber sent it to deep right field but just came up a few degrees short.
...and onto the ice water test. Since I didn't have any ice cubes. I substituted some snow. I'd say thats another homerun.
...and Weber, well close but no cigar.
The backlighting feature came in really handy on this smoke:
I can't waste all this time on temping beer, water, and snow. Can I - heck no... Out came the 26" with two 3 pound meatloafs.
and the sliced shot:
Ok, so to finish up. I was very happy with my new Ink bird instant read thermometer. It came with about a half a charge, and only took about 45 minutes to reach full capacity(I'm guessing because I didn' t really watch the time - it was probably shorter). I didn't have to calibrate it - as all tests were done straight out of box. The magnet comes in handy for those of us who misplace things easily, and backlight makes it super easy for night time Q'ing. I also tested the waterproof aspect of the thermometer and after a quick rinse and dry it still temped out my wifes pork chop dinner perfectly. So I must say, if your looking for an instant read thermometer. This is an excellent choice. Oh I almost forgot to mention. It only took about 2 seconds to settle in on a final temp. It's fast

Review: Ink bird IHT-1P instant read rechargable thermometer. Part 1
Well I needed a new instant read thermometer. So I thought why not give our sponsor a whirl. I recieved it last week, and I must say they did an outstanding job on packaging it up. The contents: Fit and grip are comfortable. Even for my big paws: Comparison shot against my old Weber...
