is it really a 900 degree thermometer?

On the Big Green Egg I got mine up to 650* to clean it. Then I shut it down I think it would have gone further.

I didn't calibrate mine. I haven't compared it with other thermometers, but it seems to be working just fine.

Yes, but I do not recommend this thermometer. It was never accurate for me and is now a toy my child plays with. Pay a bit more for a higher quality one. This one is a waste of money.

Lol. I have used it but not sure how accurate it is. The person was running a little hot. I would have a regular thermometer just in case.

Absolutely. It's accurate to 1 degree of difference between current temp and desired.

No. The device uses Bluetooth technology that is relatively short-range (150 feet?). Beyond that, it is just a thermometer. All it does is report the temperature.

I have found this thermometer to be very unreliable. I would not trust it for any reason.

I have not used a thermometer, but i have used this for deep frying. i bought it exclusively for deep frying outdoors (extension cord not included). works well, i would estimate it gets up to 350 comfortably.

Temp control knob goes down to 95 degrees, don't know how tight the calibration is but does have good range.

I have been above 300 degrees, but don't know about 500. The probe should be ok, as long as the gauge is not too close to the oven. I have not been disappointed with the unit yet!

It is consistent +/- 0.3 degrees.... There are variables of the user technique and subject. For example, I've had patients take off a hat and it reads at least a degree or two higher than it will only 30 seconds later. Also, distance from skin is a factor. You must consider too that body temperature, while remaining within a narrow homeostatic range, does vary itself from moment to moment. What I will say is that this meter INVARIABLY detects elevated temperatures and fever.

No, it does not. It is also not very accurate, about 2 degrees off at room temperature, and about 3 - 4 at 32 degrees

Hi Nancy,I am not sure since the temp is not written out as degrees but simply Lo, Med, Hi.

The probe that comes with it is bent at 90. The needle probe is shorter and more narrow and I wouldn't bend it. It's really for taking a quick temp.

The one that I have is almost exact. I checked it with another thermometer and the difference was 1 degree. I have had 2 of these and been pleased.

We never tried a full 90 degree. My wife only raised it to about 45 degrees. She passed on in March.v

Yes- it only registers in Fahrenheit degrees anyway like you know 97.5 degrees or 98.6 degrees. It's a regular thermometer.
