What's Included

In the box: the 3516 digital thermometer with stainless steel stem, a pocket sleeve with clip, and its LR44 battery.

Before You Buy

  • It reads in Fahrenheit only. The display shows degrees Fahrenheit and has no Celsius setting.
  • Read it, then remove it. This is an instant read thermometer, not an oven probe. Do not leave it in food while it cooks, and use a mitt because the stem is hot after use.
  • Wipe clean, never submerge. It is not waterproof and not dishwasher safe. Wipe it with a damp cloth. It tops out at 302 F, so it is not a candy or deep fry thermometer.

Perfect For

  • Checking steaks, chicken, and roasts before you serve
  • Grilling burgers and sausages on the patio
  • Soups, sauces, and gravies on the stovetop
  • Checking cold food and fridge or freezer temperatures
  • Home cooks who want a pocket sized thermometer

Care & Use

  • Switch the thermometer on, then insert the stem into the center of the food.
  • Read the display, remove the thermometer, and switch it off.
  • Use a pot holder or oven mitt to handle the stem after checking hot food.
  • Wipe it with a damp cloth. Do not immerse it or put it in the dishwasher.

Why a digital pocket thermometer is worth carrying

Exact digits, no squinting

A 0.4 inch LCD shows the temperature in whole degrees Fahrenheit. That makes the difference between medium rare and medium easy to read, even in a dim kitchen or beside a grill.

A range for the whole kitchen

From -40 to 302 F, the 3516 handles cold storage checks, simmering sauces, and roasts. One small tool covers the fridge, the stovetop, and the food you pull from the oven.

Switch off to save the battery

The on/off switch means the LR44 battery only works when you do. The pocket sleeve protects the stem and clips to an apron so the thermometer is always within reach.

How does a digital pocket thermometer compare?

vs. a dial thermometer

A dial needs a squint at a needle. The 3516 shows exact digits on a 0.4 inch LCD and reaches down to -40 F for cold checks.

vs. an oven-safe probe thermometer

Probe thermometers stay in the food and run on a cord. This one is a quick check: insert, read, and remove.

vs. judging by timer and color

Timers and color vary with every pan and oven. A temperature reading from the center of the food tells you where you actually are.

Pocket size

A slim probe thermometer that clips to a pocket or drops into a utensil drawer.
