"Prior to purchasing this for my husband, I had read some negative reviews stating problems with the unit not turning on or having no signal between the two units. I was leery, but reluctantly purchased it for my husband and hoped the Oregon Scientific Brand would live up to its prior reputation.I purchased this as a gift for my husband to use at the bbq so he could cook the perfect steak. It's great for this, but I have absconded with it!!My thermometer, sorry, My husband's thermometer turned on and worked perfectly from the very first time the batteries were installed.I used it to cook the Thanksgiving Turkey, but did not use the pre-programmed turkey setting. Instead, I chose to set it to a specific temperature - 175 deg. - took out the turkey and let it after cook to the desired 180 degrees. Perfection!Our guests got a kick out of the thermometer verbally announcing dinner was "nearly done"! It got them out of their chairs and in the kitchen to help set the table!!!We were impressed and delighted when the turkey came out cooked to perfection - tender and juicy!I used it tonight to cook a casserole. Again, the timer took all the guess work out of heating it through to the center. Love not having to open the oven to check a temperature probe, wonder if the needle is stuck or squint to see what number the needle is really pointing to. Digital (with a probe) is definitely the way to go!My husband may never see his temperature probe again!!!As my title says, it's a must for every kitchen and bbq."
