No more waiting by the oven to monitor cooking progress. Pinzon's wireless thermometer alerts you when food has reached your preset temperature--even if you're in another room or outside. The thermometer features a digital LCD screen and remote wireless probe. The 4-by-3-1/2-inch thermometer has a range from zero to 392 degrees F (also displays Celsius) and a 7-1/2-inch probe, so you can test even the thickest part of a large turkey for doneness. A magnet, belt clip, and small table stand make it easy to keep the 3-1/2-by-3-inch remote nearby. An audio alert signals when the food has reached the desired temperature. The thermometer and the remote each require two AA batteries. This set should be washed by hand and is imported.

Comment: I returned the thermometer because the instructions that came with it were incomprehensible and I could not figure out how it worked.

Summary: Do not buy 2008-12-05
Comment: I purchased this and tried to use it for Thanksgiving turkey. With oven set at only 350 F, the probe was working fine the first hour when all of a sudden it started beeping and came up with the dreaded HHH on the display. Apparently this means that the unit is dead. Yes the instructions are useless but that pales in comparison with fact that the unit died on first use. As other reviews clearly show, I am not alone in having the dreaded HHH death screen show up.

Summary: Cool remote function! 2008-12-01
Comment: I've had the Pinzon Remote Control Thermometer for a year now and am very pleased - I was not sure at first because there are a few very negative reviews. Clearly these people did not know how to use the devise. This great little tool takes all the guesswork out of roasting chicken or turkey or a roast beef or whatever else you care to cook in your oven. Now, I'd be lost without it.
You insert the metal probe into whatever you're cooking, set the target temperature and start roasting. When your roast reaches the desired temperature, the thermometer will beep to let you know. Perfectly cooked. The real perk is the remote control - you can be multi-tasking - like I love to do - in another room and the remote tells you time to check on the bird!
When you wash the probe, you *must* be careful. The probe is a metal tube that contains a temperature sensor. At the point where the cable from the main unit enters this tube, it is sealed merely by crimping the tube. It isn't waterproof. So during washing, if you allow water around this area, it will find its way into the tube and kill the sensor. This is the basis, I believe, for many of the complaints regarding the probe's fragility.
I wrap my hand tightly around the top of the probe when I wash it to prevent this from happening, and I'm still using the original. I use it at least twice a month, so that means it has been used at least 100 times and washed 100 times and it works fine. As far as complaints that the sensor is inaccurate, I've got 100+ perfectly cooked chickens, turkeys and roast beefs that contradict that assertion.
If I have a complaint its that I wish it had better instructions. The ones included are a little cryptic. However it is basic enough to figure out.

Summary: Broke 2008-10-26
Comment: I bought two of these. One for me and one as a gift. I used my thermometer once and it worked fine. The second time it broke. My friend said thank you very much but he had to throw it away after three uses.

Summary: Not wireless probe 2008-10-18
Comment: Pinzon Wireless Probe Thermometer with Remote
This IS NOT a wireless probe as described, still has a wire from the probe, through the oven door, to a unit.
Total misleading description!!
