This LARGE hand-held rapid-read thermometer has a long probe, fairly quick response time, and a limited temperature range. It has no backlight nor hold feature.

When turned on, this unit displays the current temperature in F or C depending on user’s setting. Below the temp readout is a column of six boxes that are labeled raw, rare, m-rare, medium, well-beef and well-poultry. One box at a time has a label displayed, corresponding to the temperature range that has been preprogrammed into the unit. The display is properly oriented when the handle is up and the probe is pointed down.
